    Umar Gul to Murali
    all over, after a lot of fuss. Pakistan had no business losing this, but they made a really solid effort. In the end, it was not enough, since Sri Lanka made more than their share of mistakes too. Murali backs away and looks to swing across the line, it hits his pads and goes to the leg side for a leg bye. Sighs of relief being heaved everywhere on the field

    Umar Gul to Kulasekara
    Gul has a wicket and Kula's free-scoring surge has come to an end. Not a yorker this time, it was a low full toss on leg stump and Kula couldn't get as much muscle under it as he would have wanted. Still went through with the shot, backing away and looking to launch it over long on. He found the fielder.

    Umar Gul to Kulasekara
    two things that rarely happened today just happened. Gul landed a yorker. And Kamran pouched a tough catch. Superb ball this, follows Kula as he backs away and it goes right through him. Kamran dives to the left and collects. He stands up sheepishly and claps for Gul. A smile on the face too.

    Umar Gul to Kulasekara
    that's one of 'em four fours. Some finish this. Gul gives him just enough width outside off for Kula to swing his arms hard at it. It hits the outside edge, and flies away unimpeded to third man
    49.2
    1
    Umar Gul to Herath
    right, he's got a single. Kula needs to hit more that four fours to win this game. Four fours will tie it. Full delivery on the stumps, another cross-batted heave and an inside edge to short fine leg, who does extremely well to dive and keep it down to one

    Umar Gul to Herath
    Herath can't connect. Back of a length and angling across, he looks to swing it away to the leg side. He misses. No surprises there. Kamran collects. Big surprise there.
    48.6

    Hafeez to Kulasekara
    that's the blow they needed. Kula connects with a low full toss on leg stump and thumps it over midwicket. 18 required off 6. Pakistan still ahead.
    48.5

    Hafeez to Herath
    Herath just sweeps. That's all he does all the time. Leg bye as he misses.
    48.4
    1
    Hafeez to Kulasekara
    Kula searches for the hitting length, but Hafeez is keeping it real full. He manages to hit this reasonably well to long on, but the fielder keeps it away from the boundary
    48.3
    1
    Hafeez to Herath
    Herath gets another single through wide mid off, full on off stump and driven along the ground
    48.2
    1
    Hafeez to Kulasekara
    dropped by Hafeez. Anyone keeping track of the drops? Full toss outside off, he slaps it back real hard and Hafeez can't hold on.
    48.1
    1
    Hafeez to Herath
    nice bowling, saw Herath moving around, stopped and then delivered it full on off stump. He can't connect the sweep and gets a leg bye to the off side
    47.6
    2
    Shoaib Akhtar to Kulasekara
    Kula is not giving up just yet. Backs away to the leg side, and Shoaib responds with a bouncer on off stump. Kula keeps his cool and slaps it high over point for a couple before deep cover can get across.
    47.5
    2
    Shoaib Akhtar to Kulasekara
    Kula manages to get under a nearly perfect yorker and loft it cleanly down to long on. Poor return from Umar Akmal, who runs across and fields, and they end up getting two
    47.4
    1
    Shoaib Akhtar to Herath
    low full toss outside Herath's off stump and he drives it without enough power to wide long on for one
    47.3
    1
    Shoaib Akhtar to Kulasekara
    full length ball, searing in from outside off, and driven by Kula off the backfoot to extra cover for one
    47.2
    1
    Shoaib Akhtar to Herath
    slow bouncer, Shoaib at his best. Herath can't even imagine a bumper at 111 kph, tries to duck, weave and eventually just stays out of the way as it flies slowly past his head. Kamran, as always, fumbles.
    47.1
    0
    Shoaib Akhtar to Herath
    full on off stump, Herath opens the face and steers straight to point
    46.6
    1
    Abdur to Herath
    Herath sweeps with control and picks up a couple to end the over. Both teams have played quite badly in the recent past, and as a result this game is still open, though Pakistan are favourites.
    46.5

    Abdur to Kulasekara
    Pakistan's fielding - what a shambles. Kula backs away and carves over the infield, Shehzad fields and relays to Umatr Akmal running back, who misses. To be fair, it was a really poor relay throw. They pick up three.
