00:00It will not bother the opening batsmen and there is dryness again.
00:04Bit of cracks as well and the spinners might come into play later half of the innings.
00:09But remember, this is the same pitch where Pakistan scored 260 runs against the West Indies.
00:13The highest number of runs scored in this tournament.
00:16So it will be good for batting once again and it will be up to the players really to make the maximum use of this surface
00:22and play some exciting cricket.
00:23All in all, I think a great pitch for batting.
00:27So there we are. The pitch looks pretty good for the final.
00:30And of course the toss, very important.
00:32Michael Holding is in the center.
00:35Thank you very much, Tony.
00:36Sanat, you will be doing tossing.
00:37Wazim, you will be doing calling.
00:40Tails.
00:41Tails is the call?
00:43It is tails.
00:45Wazim, you have won the toss.
00:46You are going to bat again?
00:47Yes.
00:48So far I think we have been doing well in the whole tournament.
00:52But it's a different ball game altogether.
00:53It's the final.
00:54So we have to be more careful today.
00:56Because Sri Lanka must be geared up and Pakistan team is also geared up.
00:59It seemed as if when you were playing against the Westerners in the evening, the ball did a bit of swinging.
01:04Yeah, I think it swings a bit more.
01:05I think it skips a bit more because of the trust when it comes out on the wicket.
01:10But otherwise, I think our stunt has been bowling, so we have to have bowling.
01:13Have you changed your team at all?
01:14Yeah, we have one more that come in instead of Shabir and then Vastia, that's Rassel Wazim.
01:20Okay, good luck.
01:21Good luck, Peter.
01:23Were you thinking of a change in tactics at all today?
01:25Yeah, we were thinking of batting first today, but we don't mind chasing.
01:32Why were you thinking of batting first then?
01:34We got three fast bowlers today.
01:36The Prym Singh is in today and we have three fast bowlers.
01:39What about the spinners?
01:40How many spinners are you playing today?
01:41I'm playing with Murali, myself and Rassel.
01:44We have four spinners.
01:47Okay, Sanat, good luck.
01:48Thanks.
01:49But that's the situation known here.
01:51Again, Pakistan have won the toss.
01:53Wazim Akram has decided to bat first.
01:55And a very important toss he's managed to win today.
01:58Sri Lanka, they're batting.
01:59And there they go.
02:00One change for them.
02:01Wickram Asinga coming in for Chamra Subha.
02:05And the two openers, of course, at the top.
02:08Kalawitana, Jayawisura.
02:10They'll be batting under lights later.
02:12And a very strong batting line-up all the way down.
02:15Shumandava Assa bowl the first over.
02:18To Syed Anwar, the left-hander.
02:21He's up there at the top.
02:22Shiaid Afridi, the pinch hitter.
02:25And the real crowd pleaser.
02:27Inzumar Mulhak.
02:28Who will he run out today, I wonder?
02:29He's down here at number three.
02:31And plenty of batting to come as well.
02:34So, we're all ready to go.
02:36Chumandava Assa preparing to bowl.
02:39Umpire Kauri from New Zealand is on duty at the far end.
02:42And here we go for the final of the Coca-Cola trophy.
02:47Here we go, Chumandava Assa, Anwar on strike.
02:55And already some tidy fielding from Sri Lanka.
02:58And Amiz, I have been following this from a long way away.
03:00I promise I have been trying to follow it.
03:02It seems to me that the toss has been important.
03:04The team batting first has generally gone on to win.
03:07Shiaid Afridi has been prolific.
03:11Great hitting.
03:14Just wide of slip.
03:15That is Pakistan's first run.
03:30Well, that's a second little nervy moment in that first over.
03:34A tidy one from Shiaid Afridi.
03:35The calling not exactly tidy.
03:37One without loss after the first over.
03:43And finally Afridi is away.
03:48That's an extraordinary throw.
03:53Kramer Singer not quite having his radar on track.
03:57I think he'll be hoping for better for that with the ball.
03:59But Afridi is away.
04:00He's got two.
04:00Saeid Anwar on three.
04:05Well, there he goes.
04:07A little frustrated.
04:08The field is in.
04:10And there's the first boundary for Pakistan.
04:15Easily done there by Saeid Anwar.
04:18He makes batting look so easy.
04:20The beauty about this shot was that he got to the pitch.
04:24And he worked the ball away from middle and off stump.
04:28Didn't try to hit it too hard.
04:30Was not also early in the shot.
04:32We've seen batsmen perishing on a slow pitch in Sharjah.
04:36Where they've just been a little early playing the shot.
04:39But there Saeid Anwar sizing up the length.
04:41And picking the ball away to the boundary.
04:43Very good shot.
04:50That's close.
04:54Well, there was a confident shout.
04:56It didn't impress umpire Sheppard.
04:57And it's 11 without loss after four of us.
05:00That's that last ball.
05:01I think it kept in by Sonny Jesser.
05:02Sorry, Jonathan.
05:03Because he had a deep square leg in place.
05:05And Sharjah did it.
05:06He didn't really come forward to play that.
05:08That was clearly missing the leg some.
05:17Well, there we go.
05:17It's in the air.
05:18And surely this is going to be the first wicket to fall.
05:22Well, he's come on.
05:23He was in the air a long, long time.
05:24But Jarjah Wardner has taken the catch.
05:29And rather surprising dismissal, really.
05:31Afridi has gone.
05:32Going for the big hit down the ground.
05:35And Pakistan have lost their first wicket.
05:3712 for one.
05:38You can expect anything from Shahjah.
05:40Afridi could be disappointing.
05:42As well as a crowd pleaser.
05:44But here today in the final, he was disappointing.
05:46The shot selection wasn't that good.
05:48There, the front foot not to the pitch.
05:51Playing across the line because that ball was angled towards the first lip.
05:55And a good catch by Jarjah Wardner.
05:57The ball was in the air and was nicely judged.
06:03He's gone for two.
06:04And Pakistan 12 for one.
06:06A well-caught Jarjah Wardner.
06:09One of those that doesn't look terribly complicated.
06:13But you've got to hang on to them.
06:14One of those that I've got to hang on to them.
06:24He looks a little bit twitchy.
06:26An eventful over.
06:2813 for one.
06:29After five.
06:30Now I was hugely impressed with this young man during the World Cup.
06:38When you compare the amount of cricket that England are playing one day compared to these teams here,
06:45it's hardly surprising sometimes that England perform so badly at it.
06:53Lovely little flick.
06:55And Yang was up, can take a sigh of relief, he's off the mark.
07:10Started the game not 100% fit, Murali.
07:14As a matter of fact, he started the entire Coca-Cola trophy not 100% fit.
07:19We have seen a bandage on his left hand, at the moment he had a splint on his left finger,
07:23but this is something recent.
07:25Perhaps just twisting that ankle when he did the last bit of feeling.
07:37And he's a key figure for Sri Lanka too.
07:43Caught.
07:45It had to come.
07:46It was showing quite a bit of frustration, Abdul Razak.
07:50He's gone.
07:53We talked about the footwork.
07:55Really not getting the foot to the pitch of the ball.
07:57And trying to get it up and over.
07:59Leaning backwards.
08:00Hasn't hit the middle of the bat.
08:01And now to Patu.
08:03He was waiting for it.
08:05Abdul Razak has paid the penalty.
08:07The pressure just got to him.
08:09Watch this.
08:10The foot not to the pitch of the ball.
08:11Leaning back as he tries to hit it over the top.
08:13Slices off the outside edge.
08:15And now to Patu has no difficulty whatsoever.
08:18Sri Lanka right in this game.
08:2025 for 2.
08:21The new batsman for Pakistan.
08:22Inzamanul Haqq.
08:23Not on strike at the moment though.
08:24Big shot again.
08:25Perhaps just got his right leg outside the line of walks.
08:26Dump side Anwar.
08:27I think we just got a small indication from Doug Cowey to Chemendavas that he thought it
08:47was also going down leg side.
08:52And here's the dismissal.
08:53Abdul Razak trying to hit it over the top.
08:55Really not getting to the pitch.
08:57He'd been frustrated into this.
08:59Good bowling from Zoysa and from Vaas.
09:03Ball just spun.
09:04I mean the bat just spun in his hands and the ball hit the outside half of the bat.
09:08Just off of his reach.
09:21Good fielding again.
09:33Fantastic fielding.
09:34I don't know if he didn't get his hands to this Zoysa.
09:39Just got his hands to it at full stretch.
09:41Not sure he's expecting it to come.
09:44And it's come quite quickly.
09:47And really it was a tough one.
09:49But those are the sort of catches you've got to catch.
09:51But then a brilliant piece of fielding.
09:53Saved a four.
09:56So you don't worry living a very charmed life at the moment.
10:11This was going very fast indeed.
10:12And Zoysa moving to the wrong side.
10:14He's a left-hander of course.
10:15And he's going to his right.
10:17Which means the right hand would have been the one that's the dominant.
10:20And then the second one didn't quite get to him.
10:23Good slower delivery.
10:24And he's just chipped it over mid-wicket.
10:26So side Anwar.
10:29Well he's found the gap this time.
10:32And Interband there using all his power to get that ball over the rope.
10:37It wasn't a half volley.
10:38And he really had to open his shoulders.
10:41To get the ball all the way out to the rope.
10:44Can't keep someone like Insicquad for long at that time perfectly placed into that gap.
10:54With the field up there in front beating the infield.
10:57And the ball just racing through to the boundary.
11:00Timing absolutely perfect.
11:02A welcome boundary.
11:0737 for two now.
11:09That's why the man's out there on the offside boundary.
11:12He'll just cut that off.
11:15And Interband is starting to look dangerous.
11:23Certainly he's looking dangerous playing his shots with far more ease now.
11:28Just leaning into that.
11:29You can see perfect balance and the transference of weight.
11:32He's such a fine player when he's putting back to ball.
11:35That's Marvin Atapattu hitting across very quickly.
11:40And again, not quite a half volley.
11:43And Interband looks in good touch.
11:49And again, he's produced more changes in the field.
11:52The slip has now gone.
11:53So there's a leg slip now.
11:58And a short mid-wicket for the last ball of this 15th over.
12:02More runs.
12:04So he's out third man.
12:06And that was a profitable over for Pakistan.
12:11Ooh, now.
12:12He's got four.
12:13And I think Inter will say, well, I was trying to run it down third man,
12:15but surely not quite as fine as that.
12:17And in the last over, there would have been a slip there.
12:30But Sri Lanka took the decision to take them out.
12:33And maybe Inter there has had a stroke of luck.
12:36Inter realising that there wasn't protection in that direction.
12:40The absence of slips.
12:43Just opening the face.
12:45Quite intentional and eluding the diving Kaluitana.
12:49In fact, it was quite a few yards away from him.
12:51Picking up four rounds.
12:53It's one of those instances where the captain simply cannot win.
12:58Nine times out of ten, you put the men back.
13:02That would have gone straight to the man.
13:04He's still being there.
13:10Well, they're appealing.
13:11They're confident.
13:12Inzi isn't happy.
13:14And umpire Shepard rules in his favour.
13:18Not without some thought.
13:20It was a very big appeal.
13:22Both the wicketkeeper and the bowler went up in unison together.
13:25And there appeared to be some sort of confidence in that.
13:29But umpire Shepard, too, as adamant that,
13:33yes, I think umpire Shepard was absolutely right.
13:36It took the flap off Inzi's pad.
13:39What a good decision.
13:41And the bat and the gloves all very close together.
13:43The ball, though, just brushes the pad.
13:45We can see that from a slow-motion replay.
13:48What a good decision.
14:06Oh, what's happened there?
14:07Poor old Chandana.
14:08We'll have to see a replay, I think, to work out what happened.
14:10But it looked as if he got an absolutely dreadful bounce.
14:13That's what he's suggesting anyway.
14:14He'll tell his captain that till he's blue in the face.
14:15Let's have a look.
14:16We'll see from this angle, I'm sure.
14:17Up it goes.
14:18A lot of spin, I think, imparted there.
14:19Oh, he has done.
14:20Poor man.
14:21It's spun completely the other way.
14:23Oh dear, oh dear.
14:24Oh dear, oh dear.
14:25Well, it's one for the Christmas tape.
14:27Think of excitement out here, with both Insomarm Mann and Saedan were looking for runs.
14:34Poor man, it's spun completely the other way, oh dear, oh dear, well there's one for the
14:48Christmas tape. Plenty of excitement out here with both Insama and Saidan were looking for
14:56the runs. Great bit of fielding there by Aravinda de Silva and he's still hitting the stumps
15:07but since he's on that occasion well home. Sreeland comes very alert on the field apart
15:13from a few mishaps.
15:18But for the first time really Saidi's got a hold of that, he's tied that absolutely beautifully.
15:24And that was another yard of going to six. Beautiful stroke to end the 17th over.
15:33We haven't seen too many of those, 56 for two.
15:38And this is it, it really was the best shot of the day so far. Just held back again,
15:42Saidan was saw it and lofted it over the top, that was very nearly six.
15:47So the bat perfectly straight and there was no stopping him, hitting through nicely through the line.
15:57Even the slower pace of Wickhamer Singh and not posing any problem to him.
16:0330 not out from 54 balls, it isn't easy. It's not a stroke player's pitch this.
16:08But the motor machine Pakistan will have a figure of around about 180, 200 in their minds.
16:16That's four.
16:21And Saidi I think now is just starting to find his confidence.
16:26He hit Wickramasinger over the top in his previous over.
16:28And this is more of a classic Saidi Anwar, a carving, scything offside drive.
16:36It is a characteristic, a Saidi Anwar shot. As soon as he gets width, he spanks it away.
16:42With an outside edge there, the ball just flying away to the boundary.
16:46It certainly looks ominous now.
16:48That's too short.
16:57And over the rope it goes.
17:08Well, Jair Warden did his best.
17:12He took most of the pace off it, but Saidi Anwar is looking very dangerous now.
17:16It's far too short, this on the slow pitch.
17:19The ball is always running away from Jair Warden, to be fair to him.
17:22But having got there, I think he'll probably feel he should have stopped that.
17:26Wickramasinger having a difficult time, holding on both sides of the wicket.
17:30And the Pakistanis making full use.
17:33Jair Warden unable to stop that one there on the squalic boundary.
17:38Thank you, Jair Warden.
17:45Locked, but into the gap.
17:47And well over the ropes as well. What a shot from Saidi Anwar.
17:54This is probably shot at the tournament.
17:56Not easy to pick Modligaran.
18:00And he has picked him over covers, playing with the spin.
18:03Getting the elevation, just making a little bit of room himself.
18:07And this is a classic hit.
18:09A six and then a single.
18:20Saidi Anwar really livening up to the task here.
18:23That was a beautiful shot to Wakeshaw cover.
18:30There's a lovely player to watch Saidi Anwar.
18:33And this is brilliant stuff.
18:35Eased it away over the cover.
18:37And over the ropes.
18:44You see all great players adjusting according to the conditions in Saidi Anwar.
18:48Although the conditions have been quite easy for batting.
18:51Not a lot of batsmen have really come to terms with the slowness.
18:54But Saidi Anwar adjusting well and playing beautifully.
19:03I think we knew exactly what type of pitch it was going.
19:06That was the other delivery.
19:12The one that didn't spin.
19:14Eight runs coming from that over.
19:15Pakistan 79-2.
19:16Very powerful hit.
19:28There's a man out deep at Longhorn but he could not get across.
19:35Beautifully struck by Enzam Amul Haq.
19:37Apologizing to Saidi Anwar because that shot almost took his head off.
19:42Alvinda De Silvaic long on boundary.
19:46Couldn't stop the ball from going to the boundary.
19:48This is a massive hit from Enzam Amul Haq.
19:50You have to be careful when you earn the non-strikers in.
19:52And there it is.
19:58And there it is.
20:02Brilliant 50 by Saidi Anwar.
20:06Took 66 deliveries.
20:08What a player.
20:11Beautiful batting by Saidi Anwar.
20:13Great improvisation.
20:16Great innovation.
20:1950 of just 67 deliveries.
20:21This is a big mix up here.
20:28Is he going to be out again?
20:29That's going to be a close call from umpire David Sheppard.
20:32Third umpire being called for again.
20:34It's Enzam and once more again.
20:39He's not looking very confident in Enzam Amul Haq.
20:42I think he was there but didn't drag his bat.
20:46Good pick up by Vikram Asenge.
20:49Enzam Amul Haq just struggling a little bit.
20:53And uh well I think he has made it Michael.
20:57It's a close call but it seems like if he just has gotten in.
21:01The mere fact that he had to take the ball and then throw it back onto the strums.
21:06Give him that split second.
21:08Just enough time to get that back back over the line.
21:12Well done Inzi.
21:23Big shout.
21:24He's not even waiting on the umpire to give him outside Anwar.
21:28Not many batsmen walk these days but he's one of them.
21:31The end of a very good knock.
21:34I'll say it will be disappointed here.
21:37He could have played this ball anyway he wanted to the offside square.
21:42I think he tried to just hit it a little too hard.
21:46Saw the width.
21:47Went for the cut shot because because it was on.
21:50And just playing underneath the ball it was taken well by Kalou within an important wicket.
21:54He could say that going off behind for 53 and Pakistan 96 for three.
22:08Yusuf Yohana the new batsman for Pakistan.
22:10Another bright young prospect.
22:17Murli.
22:25He's come back quite well he was savaged a little bit in his first two overs but he's
22:28bowling a different line now Murli.
22:32He's bowling uh there's the 100 up.
22:35That nice little dink for one.
22:37Murli is bowling further outside the off stump now because he realizes there's more turn in
22:41this wicket than previous ones.
22:46You'll see a lot of that shot and it's quite safe.
22:50It's done when the ball pitches outside off stump.
22:52You get the pad across to cover the spin and hit with the spin.
23:00Perfectly executed by you can see.
23:09It's nicely played and nicely fielded.
23:13Perhaps didn't get it as far as he would have liked.
23:15Even farther than that would have been more runs.
23:18But Marvin had a patu did well.
23:20The Sri Lankans once again restoring their image on the field.
23:23They've had a few bad patches.
23:25But uh at the patu they are again showing a lot of commitment.
23:39Beautifully bowled.
23:40That is a very good delivery.
23:42Johanna is hanging around because it's come through so low.
23:46But that's a very good delivery.
23:48He's just getting it on to the batsman.
23:51Didn't read it at all.
23:53And that's a big wicket for Sri Lanka.
23:56Chandana's truck went that's most important for Sri Lanka.
23:59Usufana not really picking up that top spinner from Chandana.
24:05Going straight through and knocking his leg stump.
24:09Johanna very surprised at that ball.
24:12Keeping a trifle low.
24:13So Sri Lanka certainly a delight and a big wicket for them.
24:17Johanna's gone.
24:19Pakistanis are 1-6.
24:211-0-6 for 4.
24:22Hassan Raza is a new batsman.
24:35He's facing Chandana.
24:36And immediately in that area where he's so strong on the offside he's off the mark.
24:48And there he goes.
24:49Not a bad way to get it either.
24:51No push and run for Inzamam.
25:00A good meaty bludgeon down the ground.
25:02Well played, Inzi.
25:03Made sure he got as close to the pitch as he possibly could in the man so that the spin wouldn't really matter.
25:10And it certainly was a very good shot straight down the ground.
25:13Remember there's a long arm and a long arm in place.
25:16But he was so confident in hitting it straight he didn't even bother to run.
25:20And there he goes again.
25:26There's four boundaries in that.
25:4154 not out.
25:42Inzamam you think we normally score more than that but it does reflect the pitch.
25:47Beautiful.
25:49Beautifully bold.
25:50Young Raza's gone for 18.
26:00And Sri Lanka really smiling now.
26:03145 for five.
26:06And Chandana breaks through once more.
26:08Beautifully bold.
26:10And there's Kalu to finish it off.
26:17145 for five.
26:18Hassan Raza's out for 18.
26:20146 for five.
26:2311 overs to go.
26:29There's a second run for Wasim Akram who's coming at number seven.
26:32With his team here in some trouble.
26:34Much depends on Inzamam.
26:3654 not out.
26:37And of course he's capable of absolutely anything.
26:39And a danger man two there for Sri Lanka.
26:42Lurking at number nine.
26:43Mohen Khan.
26:45Thank you for playing a dangerous little innings at the end.
26:48Which didn't happen many times before.
26:56Vass one for ten.
26:57Both very tightly at the start with Zoyser.
26:59One for 24.
27:00Good Chandana though.
27:01Three for 40 from ten movies.
27:06That's big.
27:07But I don't think it's going to be big enough.
27:10And that's a terrible dismissal for Pakistan in the circumstances.
27:13Inzamam has holed out that long off.
27:21It's Zoyser who's taken the catch.
27:22And that's the last thing that Pakistan wanted in this situation.
27:30They've lost their sixth wicket.
27:31Inzamam.
27:33Who played so well.
27:3554 from 78 balls.
27:37Has rather thrown his wicket away.
27:41Trying to clear a long off.
27:42Inzamam didn't quite get hold of it.
27:44Not too sure why he would want to play a shot like that at this stage of the game.
27:49Don't want to be losing two wickets that quickly together.
27:52And Zoyser isn't he happy.
27:54Not a bad knock by Inzamam.
27:56Inzamam though.
27:5654 from 78 deliveries.
27:59Pakistan won 48 for six.
28:00Here's a danger man I reckon.
28:20The danger man Moen Khan.
28:22And has come in at number eight.
28:27A very handy contributor down the order.
28:30Okay I'll get it.
28:33There's still ten overs to go.
28:35Pakistan have only four wickets in hand now.
28:39The skipper's there but he's only got two to his name.
28:45Let's see it through.
28:52That was a fumble of extra cover.
28:53The last thing Pakistan wanted is a run out.
28:55Sorry skipper says Moen.
28:58And he can breathe again.
29:00I'll be able to see where is the man that did the fumbling out on the offside.
29:07I think Pakistan were very fortunate that he fumbled.
29:12I don't think there was a genuine single on there.
29:15But he was very excited and interested in what was happening until he saw the fumble.
29:23He hasn't reached double figures yet in this series and he's got the chance now.
29:36He's got the chance now.
29:46Here's a good stroke.
29:48This is Jayasuri's 6th over, that's a good stroke, there have been so few half volleys
30:05today.
30:06They've still been hard to put away, the outfield is green, it's really quite slow, boundaries
30:13very hard to find, Moen got his head down there and nothing was stopping him, particularly
30:33Kalu, that would have been a nasty collision I think, very good understanding between Moen
30:40Kan and Wazimakram, the ball didn't go very far at all, but Moen Kan was immediately off
30:49the mark, Wazimakram responded well.
30:55He's got it too, dreadful ball, and will that get Wazimakramram i wonder,
31:06he looks pumped up, he means business i think.
31:10He means business I think.
31:13Stark contrast to the rest of the liveries that Jair Souria has let down so far.
31:19He has been pitching right up in the block hole, that one about the full treatment.
31:24Here's another one, that's gone further.
31:28And it's another four.
31:30Two terrible balls.
31:32A long hop and then a full toss.
31:36And he can't ball like that to Haseem.
31:40That's the problem when you bowl the first, the bad delivery.
31:44You're under pressure to try and get it back in the right spot.
31:47Tried to bowl the Yorker and it turned up to be a full toss.
31:53Russell Arnold there again, trying desperately to prevent the boundary.
32:04Four men inside the circle of course, but they're now on the edge of that circle.
32:10That's a meaty blow.
32:13And Haseem hits it, it stays hit.
32:15That's a meaty blow.
32:16That's a meaty blow.
32:17And Haseem hits it, it stays hit.
32:18That's a meaty blow.
32:19That's a meaty blow.
32:20And Haseem hits it, it stays hit.
32:21That's a meaty blow.
32:22That's a meaty blow.
32:23That's a meaty blow.
32:24And Haseem hits it, it stays hit.
32:25well that's a meaty blow
32:28and Maseem hits it
32:31it stays hit
32:32a couple of singles early
32:49in the over
32:50and then the big blow
32:51big boundaries here
32:55in Sharjah
32:56and that went well clear
32:57of the boulders
32:58the ball's come back
33:05it's amazing
33:05it didn't create some damage
33:06in that stand
33:07it went in like a shell
33:08I think my eyes
33:22didn't let me down
33:22look at this stump
33:23look at this stump
33:24I reckon it hits
33:25look at that wobble
33:28no jet lag here you know
33:31that's well run
33:40or is it
33:41it's a wonderful piece of fielding
33:43and the fielders think they've got him
33:46I thought Maseem would be the one in danger
33:49I thought Maseem would be the one in danger
33:49but Chandana saw it back
33:52it was Mohen who was struggling up at the far end
33:54Sri Lanka think they've got him
33:55Muralithran's hobbling
33:59and here we go
34:02let's have a look
34:02it's been referred of course
34:03to the umpire
34:04it was beautifully picked up
34:06no time at all to aim
34:07oh he's gone by miles
34:08fantastic piece of feeling
34:15and just from that partnership
34:17was pushing Pakistan on
34:20a piece of brilliance
34:23has pulled it back for Sri Lanka
34:2531 they put on
34:26from only 32 balls
34:28it was Maseem I thought
34:30he was going to be in trouble
34:31but Chandana saw it as the bowler's end
34:33and look at that
34:34wonderful
34:40179 for six
34:41and the 45th over
34:45how's Mahmoud then
34:48he's also a fine striker of the ball
34:51he won't hold back
34:52not really a great tournament
34:55but he really hasn't had the opportunities
34:57up the order
34:57he's always come in with
34:59overs running out
35:00and having to throw the bat around
35:01so don't pay too much attention
35:02to his figures
35:03and he's going to have to
35:05contend with Chiminder Vass
35:07who had a very good opening spell
35:09six overs
35:09one for ten
35:10what are you backing Ramis
35:16200 plus
35:17well remember Pakistan
35:20a good team that finishes well
35:22in World Cup
35:25they showed their mettle down the order
35:27expecting them to get at least 200
35:30they've lost seven wickets
35:32normally you'd find five wickets down
35:35or four wickets down
35:36when the impetus would be provided
35:38by the later mid order
35:39twilight here at Sharjah
35:41the moon just
35:42appearing in the sky
35:45the lights are on
35:46and some great architecture around the ground
35:51Vaas again just drifting onto
35:59leg stump
35:59Azamambud has picked him off
36:01and going to get two
36:02good running
36:03they've got to try and break up the length there
36:05Vaas and Zoysa
36:07falling very full the batsmen are going to look to try and break the length up
36:12this was nicely played by Azamambud not belting the ball had the placement in mind
36:18and just went through with the shot nicely gliding the ball away on the onside
36:23and there goes the hit
36:29unfortunately it's not time
36:31just wonder sometimes when you've got the striker at the other end Ramiz
36:37Wasim has played well
36:38and he's the one who's got his eye in
36:40why doesn't he just dink it
36:42take a run
36:42give Wasim the strike
36:44he's the big hitter
36:44yes I think that is the plausible alternative
36:49but he hasn't done that
36:50Azamambud being made to work really hard here
36:52and that's better cricket
36:59not going for the big shot
37:04just getting nicely into line
37:05covering all the angles
37:07and just whipping it around the corner
37:09now he's given the strike to his captain
37:10yes a little bit of improvisation from Azamambud
37:15and a good one
37:16laid it down safely
37:17helping himself
37:21playing with soft hands
37:22and away from the fielder
37:23Chamindavas hasn't got a lot of cushion on the leg side for Wasimakram
37:30still three fielders in the circle
37:32on the off
37:33but they see just one solitary fielder
37:35at mid-ligate
37:36and he might be looking for two
37:40yeah this will be a good contest
37:41and he decides not to go
37:43and wisely so too
37:44he really was after that one
37:47got a little inside edge
37:49because he's swinging too hard
37:50and he's got one done
37:56he's gone
37:56straight to Jaya Saria
37:59and is it a no ball
38:02well I think Wasimakram was asking the question
38:11whether the fielder was in the circle
38:13when the catch was taken
38:14and that is why an inquiry was asked
38:19and turned down by the umpire
38:20it's not critical when he takes the catch
38:25he can be outside the circle when he takes the catch
38:28the critical thing was
38:30was he inside the circle when the ball was bowled
38:33and he was
38:33that's a legitimate delivery
38:35Wasimakram's quite entitled to ask
38:38but he's gone
38:39it's 194 for 8
38:40Zoyza strikes
38:47Shob Malik is the new batsman
38:49and the departing batsman was Wasimakram
38:52and they'll be looking for two
38:58they're very quick between the wickets
38:59these two
39:00and they'll have to hurry
39:01not a good throw
39:03in fact I think he went the wrong end
39:05very good running from Shob Malik
39:12and a decent stroke to get off the mark as well
39:15also Mahmoud has been struggling to get that ball away
39:18Shob Malik
39:18on top of it
39:19saw the away swing
39:21and played it nicely through the offside
39:23very good running indeed
39:24calling for the second run
39:26and making it easily in the end
39:28they have to hit
39:32and doesn't
39:34couldn't have been all that far away
39:36Zoyza
39:39last delivery
39:41and again they'll be looking for two
39:45which end will he go this time
39:47he's gone for the keepers end again
39:49and they've beaten him home
39:51so good running
39:52from Azam Mahmoud
39:53just one over remaining
39:57six deliveries
39:58one ninety nine for eight
40:00Shob has got to put the right line and ball
40:04to hit it across the line
40:06got hold of this one
40:09and it's gone between two fielders
40:10whether it'll get to the boundary
40:11no it won't
40:12but they are hearing between the wickets
40:14quick as they are
40:16they can't take more than two
40:18and that's the 200 for Pakistan
40:19I think they'll be a little disappointed with that
40:23they had a much better platform
40:25somewhere in the 230-240
40:26nevertheless they've got 200 on the board
40:29and that's not going to be easy to get against a very good attack
40:33Jaya Sharia very keen to get on with it
40:39he's gone again
40:44will he be out just short
40:46on the bounce
40:47looking for two
40:48well action aplenty
40:53another very good stroke from Shwab Malik
40:58hitting straight
40:59not playing across the line
41:01good presence of mind
41:04being shown by the youngster
41:05there you see him lifting it through the onside
41:07because Jaya Sharia is getting that ball
41:09to come back to the right-hander
41:10as Mahmood's got this one away
41:17this will be more than one
41:18they're hearing between the wickets
41:20and there could be an extra
41:24they're looking for it
41:25they're looking for it
41:26what's going to happen here
41:27he misses
41:28Jaya Sharia in a bad position
41:31standing on the side of the wickets
41:32instead of behind them
41:33well they've given away an extra run there
41:38Sri Lanka
41:38just a little bit of panic
41:40Chandana has a reasonably good through
41:43Karl who was unsighted by the batsman
41:46had to run behind them for a minute
41:47and then didn't realize they were going to take one
41:49and look which eyes are he is
41:50he's next to the stumps
41:51and not behind them
41:53and I think he thought it was going to hit the stumps
41:55Pakistanis will be quite happy picking up an extra run there
42:02but they're always true in that stroke
42:04Karl who was just being a little lethargic
42:06and Sanat not getting behind
42:09and giving away an extra run to the Pakistanis
42:12that's one great 4.12
42:14that's a big one
42:21Marvin Abdelpatyu is moving back
42:24but he can't go far enough
42:26there were 12 fours and two sixes before that one
42:31and that's the third six
42:33Shahab Malik has struck
42:34a very good
42:37straight six
42:39well there was always the danger when
42:42Sanat Jasuria was bowling
42:44that the batsman can
42:45picking up for a big boundary
42:47and Shahab Malik exactly doing that
42:49and that's the stumps
42:52so off the last ball of the innings
42:56a little bit of a fumble
42:58but he's got the stumping
43:00and Pakistan end up with 211 for nine
43:05for a long time
43:12to have a tenth time
43:14but one of the first things that
43:15I wanted to watch
43:17at this time
43:18for a long time
43:19won't activities
43:21at this step
43:21the only one
43:23is that football
43:24and that's another thing
43:25that football
