Hussain Talat to Theekshana, 2 runs, biffs the full ball past the bowler and long-off tidies up to keep it down to a couple. Pakistan win by 6 runs and go 1-0 up in the series.

Hussain Talat to Theekshana, no run, Theekshana trips over. He tries to play the cheeky scoop, but there's no pace on offer. He ends up inside-edging it onto his pads. Was that shot required?
49.4

Hussain Talat to Theekshana, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries. Are we in for a superover? Theekshana swings like a wood-chopper and the thick outside edge flies over short third for yet another boundary

Hussain Talat to Theekshana, FOUR, much-needed boundary. Short and sits up on the stumps, Theekshana powers the pull on the leg-side and beats the diving fielder at wide long-on to his right
49.3
Hussain Talat to Theekshana, wide, once again Hussain Talat loses plot and sprays it miles outside off, Theekshana shapes up for a slog and only connects with thin air

Hussain Talat to Theekshana, wide, slower delivery bowled full and well wide of off stump, Theekshana looks to drill it down the ground and misses it

49.1
Hussain Talat to Theekshana, no run, and the hopes continue to dimish with each passing delivery for Sri Lanka. Back of a length on the stumps, Theekshana shuffled across and mistimes the heave to square leg

Faheem Ashraf to Theekshana, 1 run, that is horrible cricket all around. Theekshana punched to mid-off and ran with the shot. On seeing his partner at the other end, Theekshana got stranded in the middle of the pitch. For some strange reason, Hasaranga decides to take off late and almost gave up midway. The fielder sensed a run-out chance at the batting end and fired it on the bounce to the keeper who failed to gather it cleanly...
