    M Nabi to Perera
    and Thisara finishes off the match for Sri Lanka with a thump over the covers to find the extra-cover boundary
    48.1
    0
    M Nabi to Perera
    fires in a slightly wide, full delivery which Thisara left alone, hoping to get another wide called
    48.1
    2
    M Nabi to Jeevan Mendis
    fires one down the leg side as this is called wide by the umpire
    47.6
    2
    Hamid to Perera
    whips away this length delivery off the pads, with the two running the first one hard in order to come back in time for the second
    47.5
    4
    Hamid to Perera
    backs away before slicing this past a converging deep point to just get over the rope. Ending very quickly here for Afghanistan
    47.4
    2
    Hamid to Perera
    spears in a yorker on middle from round the wicket which is dug out towards mid-on, and with the vacant space on offer, they are able to hustle hard to come back for the second. Excellent ODI batting there
    47.3
    2
    Hamid to Perera
    crashed away through midwicket as the misfield at midwicket allows them to return for a second
    47.2
    1
    Hamid to Jeevan Mendis
    this time looks to eke away a single on the off side, which they are able to do quite comfortably
    47.1
    0
    Hamid to Jeevan Mendis
    continues from round the wicket as Hassan goes up for the hopeful shout after Mendis appeared to have feathered an edge to the keeper. This one is given, much to the delight of Hassan and the Dunedin crowd. Mendis, though, doesn't quite agree as they go for the review. Nothing on Snicko so this will be overturned. Where would this game have been without DRS though?
    46.6
    0
    Zadran to Perera
    ends with a lovely yorker on middle which is safely negotiated by the batsman
    46.5
    0
    Zadran to Perera
    slower ball which seems to have caught the outside edge as it went across. The batsman may have feathered one over to Zazai at keeper, but this fell short again of the gloveman. This definitely bounced on the way to the gloves as they went upstairs to check it out
    46.4
    1
    Zadran to Jeevan Mendis
    waits on this fuller one before drilling it down to long on to get Thisara on strike
    46.3
    1
    Zadran to Perera
    fires one in on off stump at almost yorker-length as Thisara is able to dig this one out and take the single
    46.2
    4
    Zadran to Perera
    Perera is ending this quickly for Afghanistan as he blazes away a hit through backward point, sending this to the rope after a couple of bounces with the slice
    46.1
    6
    Zadran to Perera
    gets this one horribly wrong as he lets go off a full toss which arrives at perfect "swattable" length for Perera to pummel through long off, which he does with ease as this whistled over the rope. Puts SL decisively ahead on the equation now
    45.6
    1
    Shapoor to Perera
    this time is able to nurdle a single to the off side and get down to the other end, with a shy at the stumps striking him on his left hamstring as he went through with the run
    45.5
    2
    Shapoor to Perera
    back of a length and Thisara throws the kitchen sink at this one pitched from round the wicket. This goes high over third man, but ends up falling short of the boundary, with the ball eventually tracked before the rope
    45.4
    2
    Shapoor to Perera
    pulled away fiercely through the leg side as Stanikzai, at midwicket, is able to stop it before firing in a throw. Can't stop them from taking the two they need though
    45.3
    0
    Shapoor to Perera
    this time looking to go straight over long off, but ends up hitting it on the bounce to the fielder, with this one falling again short. Has been lucky to get away with those so far...
    45.2
    4
    Shapoor to Perera
    and gets away with a fortuitous, outside edge which flies away over the keeper's head to the third man boundary. All valuable runs for SL, regardless of whether he meant to do it or not
