- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 the scoop didn't work this time, moved across this time to get it over short fine but it appeared to come off the bottom of the hand and went straight to that fielder, Raza Hasan 63/117.5 Dilshan goes! Almost yorker length and he failed to get it away towards midwicket as he was trying to do, seemed to strike him in line with leg stump and Taufel gave it out 117/312.5 he's holed out, well taken by Malik at long-on, didn't connect well there, he'd made up his mind, came down the track and Hafeez bowled it slightly wide of off, Sanga had to reach it as he tried to drag it over the bowler's head, found long-on, didn't get the distance, Malik moved a little to his right to grab that but it was a pressure catch of sorts, Sanga was going well 84/218 stumped, stumped off a wide, Mendis comes down the track and that was bowled wide, it spun away further and he failed to reach it, Akmal did the rest 118/4Extras8 (b 3, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL139/4 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-63 (Mahela Jayawardene, 10.2 ov), 2-84 (Kumar Sangakkara, 12.5 ov), 3-117 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 17.5 ov), 4-118 (Jeevan Mendis, 18 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.1 and he's stumped! Tossed up and he was down the track and the ball kept a bit low and Sanga whipped off the bails 91/55.6 it rolls back to the stumps! Nazir was forward to defend and the ball edged to his pads and rolled over to hit the off and middle stumps 31/19.1 the bowling change works! Mathews bowls the slower ball, the off cutter, Jamshed is trapped at the crease and he half heartedly tries to tuck it away, the umpire Tucker reckoned that was hitting the off stump. But hang on - replays showed the ball pitching outside leg! Well 55/29.4 no doubts about the credibility of this dismissal! Soft dismissal, looked like the slower ball again, Akmal tried to chip it over the in field and it tamely lobbed up to Mahela at short midwicket, he was too early on the shot 57/310.6 Malik was well and truly squared up! Full credit to Herath here, it turned from off and middle and completely beat Malik on the drive, pegged back the off stump and the Sri Lankans are thrilled 64/414.2 And it's yet another golden duck for Afridi! He didn't read the carom ball at all! He stayed at the crease and tamely chopped it onto his stumps, this comes in the 16th anniversary of his fastest century, off 37 balls 91/617.4 we have yet another stumping! The off break this time, pitched it shorter on seeing the batsman give the charge, easy stumping 113/7Extras11 (lb 2, w 9)TOTAL123/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.15)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Imran Nazir, 5.6 ov), 2-55 (Nasir Jamshed, 9.1 ov), 3-57 (Kamran Akmal, 9.4 ov), 4-64 (Shoaib Malik, 10.6 ov), 5-91 (Mohammad Hafeez, 14.1 ov), 6-91 (Shahid Afridi, 14.2 ov), 7-113 (Sohail Tanvir, 17.4 ov)
