33.1 sensational catch from Sarfraz! He was moving to his left and had to suddenly change direction as Dickwella got a thick inside edge. It flew low to Sarfraz who put his left glove low to his left to pull off a stunner. Hadn't taken a wicket in the tournament coming into today's game, now he has two in two and two big wickets. That of the two set batsmen. Sri Lanka are on a freefall here 162/6

14.5 through his defence. Special ball. Mendis was looking threatening and it has taken a special delivery to send him back. Angles a length ball on middle from wide of the crease, Mendis is looking to whip this leg side but the ball jags away late to beat the bat and hit top of off. He lets out a roar. Big wicket 82/2

15.1 dragged on! Maiden ODI wicket for Ashraf. Full outside off, no feet movement whatsoever as he looks to slap that through cover. Went hard at it, could only find a thick inside edge back onto the stumps. How the game has turned. 83/3

31.2 first wicket of the tournament for Amir and what a big scalp this is. Skiddy length ball angling across Mathews, who looks to hop back and whip this to midwicket. Was late on the shot as the ball deflected off a thin inside edge onto the stumps 161/4

32.3 this is a ripper of a delivery! Dhananjaya's vigil didn't even last as long as it did for him to hop onto the plane after boarding was announced. Angles a length delivery that nips away off the seam. Dhananjaya, who should have been pushing forward, makes the cardinal sin of defending from the crease as the ball kisses the shoulder of the bat and through to Sarfraz. Big moment in the game 162/5

48.1 hoicked straight to the man at deep midwicket. It was a risky proposition because he had to clear the longer boundary, his task was made tougher by the fact that it was an slow offcutter. Couldn't have picked out the fielder any better. 232/9

34.6 they're swinging Sri Lanka out of the competition or what? This is some stunning bowling. Floats this ahead of length on off, the ball deviates ever-so-slightly as Thisara looks to flay this away from the body, gets a thick edge that is taken superbly in front of his face by Babar at a wide first slip. 167/7

49.2 squared up by the length. Looks to work this skiddy short of length delivery from outside off towards midwicket but ends up getting a leading edge back to the bowler. As far as return catches go, it can't get simpler than that. 236/10

19.2 and this is why Mathews is a captain! Lakmal gets Azhar to fend away from his body. It's a thick edge that's angling away from Mendis at first slip. He's following the line, to his right, but it swerves to his left and he has done very well to hold on to this. He went with two hands, but because of that movement, he just about grabbed onto it with his left. Bowling change works straight away 110/4

29.5 Perera to Sarfraz Ahmed, Oh this looks close! Straight drive, fingertip, then tip of the non-strikers stumps. Faheem plonked the bat in. Third umpire has been called for. This is the matter of half a frame. He's out! Can you believe it! Poor technique from the young man. A lazy plonk after backing up a long way. The replays show a shadow under his bat as the bails light up, so he's out. A pedestrian length ball at off stump, hit off the middle, has ended up as a wicket somehow. Somehow - why is it always somehow with Pakistan? 162/7
