- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 goddim! He's out! Dilshan departs for a duck as he goes for that flicky pull-cum-scoop but mistimes it for once, and short fine-leg scurries to his left to take a fine catch 0/13.5 bowled him! And Razzaq slips and is on the floor! On the off stump, Jayasuriya went for another shovel-pull but dragged it on to the delight of Pakistan. They have three! 26/31.3 got him! Pakistan have two! He came skipping down the wicket and tried to whip it through midwicket but the bounce did for him, and he got a leading edge to mid-off who steadied himself to take an easy catch 2/25.3 gone! Fourth wicket falls as Jayawardene attempts a cute back-cut but guides it straight into the gleeful hands of slip, who swallows it to his right with ease. Pakistan on fire! 32/411.3 got him! Gul makes the breakthrough, whacking it in short and Silva tried to pull but completely mistimed it, the ball looping meekly to midwicket 67/512.6 bowled him! Brilliant delivery drifting back sharply, beating his drive and the wrong'un skittles him. Outstanding from Afridi! 70/6Extras6 (lb 3, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL138/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.9)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 0.5 ov), 2-2 (Jehan Mubarak, 1.3 ov), 3-26 (Sanath Jayasuriya, 3.5 ov), 4-32 (Mahela Jayawardene, 5.3 ov), 5-67 (Chamara Silva, 11.3 ov), 6-70 (Isuru Udana, 12.6 ov)
