FunTranscript
00:00Pakistan the dominant team went on to win that tournament. The two teams a few
00:06changes. Sri Lanka have brought back Dananjay, De Silva to the squad. Charita
00:11Salanka is back.
00:17He'll get a bit of movement back into the right hander. He's kidding.
00:23Depends which time of the year as well that. Hint of movement but Nisanka leans
00:32into it. How about that? Outfield very quick. Opening boundary and that was by
00:40no means a bad delivery. Shaping back in again trying to go between bat and pad.
00:48Really a top cricket stroke as you mentioned. Top of the bounce. Nice
00:53positioning and timing. Now I feel quicker than we were expecting. He hits it into
00:58the pitch. That gets it to skid off. Pakistan able to trust him as well and that
01:04gives them... That'll be four. Look at that goal. So so quick. A hint of weight.
01:14Nisanka. The second boundary of the innings. With the greasiness out there the
01:21ball sliding off the bat face. Going a bit finer than that third man was
01:25position. As you say any width whatsoever. He throws those hands at it. He picks up a
01:31second boundary. Third man very wide indeed. Had no chance. Get finer! Says the captain.
01:43Apesh mid-off takes it. Kamil Mishara goes.
01:48That one loop. The noise of the bat was just not right.
01:55That's right. Merz has been impressive so far. With his new ball first ever. Got a bit of swing.
02:01This time a little bit of pace. Not quite timing it. Mishara looking to be aggressive. He's
02:06north of two before this. Hadn't got much strike. Starved of strike and this time
02:11trying to hit his first boundary. Only ends up holding out to mid-off.
02:15Straight forward catch taken by Salman. And there I go. Simple catch and that's the
02:20first one for Pakistan. Sri Lanka now. One down. Mishara gone for none. 13 for one.
02:50Sri Lanka lost a wicket. Kamil Mishara trying to get on with it. Just lobbing one to mid-off.
02:59Out comes Kosal Mendes.
03:03Average. Oh takes it on. Square leg underneath it. Oh!
03:14Morgut Nawaz almost built it. Batum Nisankar's gone. Oh he tried to launch this one. You said
03:22how hard it is to play your strokes with confidence. Well the wicket just holding up a bit and Pakistan
03:27have got their second. Big big wicket Nisankar. No attempt to keep that down. We're going to pick
03:33it up on the onside. Good delivery. Back of a length. Got underneath it but the timing. Nowhere
03:40near the middle of the bats. And that was nowhere near the middle of the hand either. The first time
03:44around. Ahmed Wasim Jr. gets his wicket. He's bowled well but they're saying what was that shot?
03:52Sri Lankan fans they disappointed. That's a big player gone for them. Nisankar. He's gone for 12.
03:57Sri Lanka 15 for 2.
04:07Sri Lanka wobbling. They've lost their openers.
04:11Dhananjo De Silva. Back in the team. Played the last team.
04:18Nicely played. Nicely played. That will relieve the pressure. Short and wide.
04:25And Kosal Mendes was on top of it. Good evening Ahmed Sohel and good evening to all.
04:34Yeah no matter what. And the. How the pitch is behaving. But as a batter. If you're feeling
04:41the pressure. You have to stay alert for such deliveries. And Mendes was.
04:50Seized. And the opportunity.
04:54Bump the boundary.
04:57This one. That is a very good shot.
04:59Perfect length. And Dananjo De Silva found the length to his liking. And that area is open.
05:08So that's a very good hit.
05:10Seam up delivery from Fahim Ashraf first up. This is a stroke which do not associate with
05:19Dananjo De Silva. He prefers hitting the ball towards the offside. But this time around.
05:29Went with the angle.
05:31And he's been benefited. Go about the job.
05:35Another slow one.
05:37But it was too short.
05:40And good enough for Kosal Mendes. To pick up another boundary.
05:44See what Fahim Ashraf has to be careful about is the length.
05:48If he's going to take pace off. That was short.
05:50Loved the batter plenty of time.
05:53And yes we've had a lot of rain here. But look how quick this outfield is.
05:57That is a tribute to the ground staff who's done a brilliant job.
06:04They have just made sure that this ground remained bone dry.
06:08And that.
06:11That's close. That is close. And given.
06:17Has impacted the game straight away Shadab.
06:21Well if there was no bat. I don't think he should review it.
06:25He's thinking about it. But he's running out.
06:27He's coming.
06:28Original decision is out.
06:30Pitching in line. Impact in line.
06:32Vickers. Umpires call. Go back to on-field.
06:35Umpire Chamara please.
06:39Chamara you can stay with the original out decision.
06:41Turned out to be an umpire's call. But it was very straightforward.
06:46If there was no bat. That looked dead.
06:49Kosal Mendes thought it could have been a feather.
06:53But not to be this time.
06:55Out for 14.
06:56Sri Lanka. 37 for three.
07:04Charita Sri Lanka.
07:07Was the captain of the Sri Lanka T20Is.
07:10But in as a player.
07:12Hasn't had a great run in the recent pass.
07:15But take nothing away from him as a player.
07:17To make a shred away.
07:21Was a inside edge.
07:24He's been given.
07:32Not reading the googly on that occasion.
07:34Dananjar De Silva.
07:36Inside edge and a good catch behind the stumps.
07:40I wonder what's going on here.
07:42There was some confusion.
07:43Because the umpire said not out.
07:46He didn't think it was out.
07:47But then Dananjar De Silva started walking.
07:51It was quite apparent and obvious.
07:53That the wrong had taken the inside edge.
07:56So let's see.
07:56This is confirmation.
07:59Definitely Drongan.
08:00Looking to drive.
08:01Yes.
08:01Under edge.
08:04Almost getting stuck in the midriff.
08:06But doesn't matter.
08:07He's held on to it.
08:08He's surprised.
08:09And now.
08:11A first a no.
08:12And then a yes.
08:13Sri Lanka losing.
08:13We got close to each other.
08:15Dananjar De Silva out for 10.
08:17It's 38 for 4.
08:23But he's picked that up.
08:24And he's got hold of it.
08:26You could just tell by the sound of ball on bat.
08:29Got right underneath that.
08:30Planted that foot to the pitch of the ball.
08:33And launched it properly.
08:34Launching it.
08:37As he said.
08:38That is a beautiful stroke.
08:40This is a good matchup for the batting side.
08:43Left hander.
08:43Left arm orthodox.
08:46With the turn.
08:47And this is the matchup they want to do.
08:49A lot more often.
08:50This batting partnership.
08:52Trying to get a partnership of some stature.
08:55With themselves.
08:55The launching pad for those last 5 overs.
09:05Down the wicket.
09:06And he finds the man.
09:07He tips it over the boundary.
09:10Saib Zadhaferan there.
09:11Would have been third for Shadab.
09:14He was in good position to take that.
09:16He eventually just helps it on his way.
09:20As he was taking his hands towards the ball.
09:23He was looking over his shoulder.
09:25In a way he knew that boundary rope was right behind him.
09:28But the batter.
09:30Would have had his heart in his mouth at this stage.
09:32And they're just trying to rebuild.
09:34He just felt there was a sound there.
09:42Oh has he?
09:43Oh he's walking.
09:45You're right about that.
09:46There was a sound.
09:48And suddenly very subcute celebration.
09:52Asalanka takes the walk.
09:54They've lost 5 now.
09:57Trying to hit one down to mid wicket.
10:00On a ball turning away.
10:02Just have a look.
10:05Top spinner.
10:07Big heave onto the onside.
10:09A slight edge.
10:10Slight defection.
10:11And another good take.
10:12By Khan.
10:14Big appeal.
10:15Here's a celebration.
10:18Smile.
10:20The batsman walks past him.
10:21He's gone.
10:22He walks off.
10:23Just as Sri Lanka started fighting back.
10:25Asalanka's out.
10:26He's gone free.
10:26Along with the on again.
10:29He'll be expected.
10:30Take this team forward.
10:33And get to a respectable score.
10:37Abraar meanwhile.
10:38At least a couple.
10:42He's hit it hard.
10:44Long boundaries.
10:48Tix runs off.
10:49Shadab's over.
10:50He finishes with 2 for 25.
10:5280 for 5.
10:53Hits well.
10:55Hit well.
10:55Down the ground.
10:58Hasaranga gets a boundary for Sri Lanka.
11:01After 16 balls.
11:03They need a few of this.
11:05Yes.
11:05We do know.
11:07That half of the side is out.
11:08But Sri Lanka can't afford to play.
11:10Dot balls.
11:12They need to be a little bit more proactive.
11:14Go after the bowling when it's offered.
11:17Just like that.
11:19And that's his strength.
11:20And one thing about Hasaranga.
11:22Who used to be a predominant offside player.
11:25Is now looking to pick more spots.
11:28That's a very good looking shot.
11:33Hit well.
11:34He picked his spot so so well.
11:36Lienerge.
11:38You hit the top of the fielder in the circle.
11:41Definitely hitting a cap.
11:42Because no one behind.
11:44This is really clever batting.
11:46By Janit Lienerge.
11:49Fast emerging.
11:51As a must.
11:52In the Sri Lanka white ball team.
11:54Look at how he keeps moving around the crease.
11:57Just making Nawaz err in his length.
12:01And pounces on it.
12:02Nevis spot all the time.
12:07Flat and hard.
12:08Four more.
12:09Skids off the outfield.
12:12Outstanding stuff.
12:13Outstanding stuff.
12:15Back to back boundary.
12:16We're talking about 150.
12:19Shrunker need to go at about 8, 9, 10 runs.
12:22And over from here.
12:23The last over gave 10.
12:25He's already got 8 of the first two.
12:29Yeah they're looking at 160 now.
12:32But work gotta be done here.
12:35Reveal we said earlier.
12:38Gotta keep it going.
12:40Five overs after this.
12:41Bit of momentum with.
12:45Useful edge.
12:48Fast outfield.
12:49Another four.
12:51The runs are coming for Sri Lanka.
12:57Well they needed a big over.
12:58To get this momentum going.
13:00They got one.
13:01They got 10 in the last.
13:02Now they got 15 here.
13:05Now this is perfect.
13:06This little face for them.
13:08Doesn't matter how it came.
13:10At this stage.
13:11There was a bit of grip and turn.
13:14But useful.
13:14Very very useful.
13:17In the context of the situation.
13:20Pulled a little quicker.
13:21From Navas too.
13:22That gave.
13:23The pace.
13:24The ball needed to run away.
13:28With the wickets falling.
13:30He's hit that.
13:31Long off.
13:33Takes it nicely.
13:35Chakaz Aman had a lot to do.
13:37Judged it very nicely.
13:40And that's the end of that partnership.
13:42Well that's unfortunate.
13:45You could see what Hassuranga's intent was.
13:48He was looking to go more extra cover.
13:51It went down to long off.
13:52Goal slower.
13:54And look where he's aiming.
13:57He was going wider.
13:58But found the fielder.
14:00But still I think it's a good platform.
14:02For that's on Shanika.
14:05To try and express himself.
14:06But that's an important wicket for Pakistan.
14:10Asuranga goes for 18 of 12.
14:13Sri Lanka.
14:14After a partnership of 38.
14:16And 110 for six.
14:18When you talk about playing this way.
14:22Oh this is nicely strong.
14:24It wasn't a quickish delivery from the left armor.
14:31Captain had to wait for it.
14:33And was able to time it so well.
14:36And then that placement.
14:38And you know why I say there's been time so well.
14:41Wasim Junior is quick.
14:42But he was struggling to get to it.
14:44It wasn't far away from him.
14:45Have a look at that.
14:46It was going away from him.
14:47But he is rapid.
14:50And the ball wins that race.
14:52Was hit very bad.
14:54Especially with the induction of Shadab.
14:56Who bowled really well.
15:00During his comeback game tonight.
15:03Or should I say this evening.
15:0570 very valuable deliveries.
15:11Bigger part of the ground.
15:12They can afford to come back for the second on the throw.
15:15And the throw is also pretty weak.
15:18It's a big boundary there.
15:20Not only.
15:22Eliana Gay has become.
15:24A dependable batter.
15:25But how about his running.
15:28He's rapid.
15:35The way he has approached this game.
15:40Yeah at times are important.
15:42But if you work the ball into the gaps.
15:44And keep on rotating the scoreboard.
15:47You can be bothersome for the opposition.
15:50And that's what.
15:52Eliana Gay has shown the world.
15:54Time and again.
15:58There's been a certain level of struggle for Shanaka to time it.
16:02But Eliana Gay has found a way to deal the spinners.
16:05The spade.
16:06In the air again.
16:07But this time around.
16:10From the fielder.
16:12That's a big wicket for Pakistan.
16:16Yup.
16:18For a moment I thought he'll clear that fielder.
16:20Nawaz at long on.
16:21But it just landed right into his lap.
16:25Eliana Gay every time I said that when they're looking to use that long handle.
16:29They lose a wicket.
16:30And this was perfectly.
16:33Into the hands of that fielder.
16:35And long on.
16:35Nawaz didn't have to move much.
16:38And out goes wicket number seven.
16:40With Janath Eliana Gay.
16:41Getting valuable 40 to his name.
16:43127 for seven.
16:48The ruling the way.
16:49Three for abroad now.
16:50And in comes Dushmanta Shamir.
16:54Into the bowlers now.
16:56With 127 for seven on board.
16:59After being asked to bat first.
17:01By Pakistan.
17:05Two overs to go after this.
17:06Was so important for Shanaka.
17:09Will look to face as many as possible.
17:11So.
17:11End of the over now.
17:1218 gone.
17:13One two seven.
17:14For seven.
17:17There.
17:17Flash your bat.
17:19And you've been finding fielder.
17:21One after another.
17:22This time.
17:22Fahim Ashraf takes that catch.
17:24He will find himself a little unlucky.
17:26The ball was wide outside off.
17:29But he manages to play it straight to the fielder.
17:34Very well appointed that fielder.
17:36For that kind of a delivery.
17:38Which started off way outside the Obstrum.
17:41Asked the batter to reach for it.
17:43He wasn't in control.
17:45But the fielder was.
17:48Captain departs.
17:49It's the eighth wicket.
17:55His contribution.
17:56Just 12 from nine deliveries.
17:58This innings.
17:59In a strife.
18:00127 for eight.
18:01Mahesh Thikshara walks in.
18:07127 for eight.
18:11Eleven balls to go in the innings.
18:12That's a good ball first up.
18:17The first one was way outside off.
18:18And this time.
18:20Straight into the block hole.
18:21Have a look.
18:25Gone.
18:27That's another wicket here.
18:29This time is Chameera who goes.
18:32Sri Lanka just not finding that accelerator.
18:35The foot on the pedal is missing.
18:37And they're losing their wickets.
18:40Eight down now.
18:41Nine down.
18:42Beg your pardon.
18:44Yeah with that angle.
18:45The option taken by.
18:48The fast bowler Chameera wasn't the right one.
18:50You need a bit of room outside the off stump to be able to hit the ball over extra.
18:58He was cramped.
18:59No timing.
19:01None so ever.
19:02That's why he's walking back without contributing.
19:06It's 138 for nine.
19:14This certain level of the if you look at the fall of wickets there's a pattern to it.
19:18And just have a look at that last wicket again.
19:23Thought he hit it firmly.
19:25And he did actually.
19:25But straight to Shadab at cover.
19:29You could tell by the reaction how hard it was hit.
19:35And they've been losing wickets in pairs.
19:37First two wickets.
19:3813 and 15.
19:39Then 37 and 38.
19:40Wicket number three.
19:43So losing the wickets in in that fashion.
19:46In that manner in pairs has probably been one of the reasons also.
19:50They've not been able to get like eight runs and over seven runs and over consistently.
19:57Yeah Sekunder you're right.
19:59On a pitch like this as a batter you cannot afford to get too comfortable.
20:03You need to stay dialed in.
20:08Focus.
20:09Not capitalizing.
20:12Very good over from the left arm.
20:13I picked up a couple of wickets in that.
20:15It's 128 for nine.
20:22Spinners have been good.
20:23Two for Shadab.
20:25Three for Abraar.
20:26Nawaz was a little expensive today.
20:28Went wicketless.
20:29None for 40.
20:36Final over.
20:37This combination has been good now.
20:49Just looking at how you want to look at your 11.
20:54In the matches to come.
20:55And then so on to the World Cup.
20:57Bowling.
20:58Also in the power play.
20:59So a different outlook to Eddie.
21:01Appealing for a court behind.
21:02But a very delayed appeal from Wasim Jr.
21:15Salman just inquiring from the umpire.
21:17I think they've gone upstairs.
21:20I think the umpire is confirming whether the ball has carried to the wicketkeeper or not.
21:25That is the query.
21:26Give me the best angle for the catch please.
21:32First we are going to check whether it's touched.
21:34Give me the ultra ice please.
21:40Give me the ultra ice please.
22:04Just keep it rolling through please.
22:06Yes.
22:09Can you face it there please.
22:10Can you face it there.
22:14Yes.
22:14There's a clear spike.
22:16Clear spike has the ball next to the back.
22:18Go for the catch please.
22:19Completion of the catch please.
22:29Just keep it rolling through.
22:30Keep it rolling through.
22:32Keep it rolling through until he completed the catch please.
22:34Keep it rolling through.
22:37Keep it rolling through.
22:39I want to see the completion of the catch also please.
22:46Roll it through until he
22:50finishes his catch.
22:51Yes I am satisfied I have auditioned to the giant screen.
23:02Mike.
23:03Mike.
23:20Well he's walking off.
23:22And the television umpire has made his decision.
23:24It means that sri lanka have been wrapped up in 19.2 overs.
23:28It was a good catch taken.
23:29A faint inside edge was picked up by the bowler.
23:33And eventually sri lanka all out for 128 in 19.2 overs.
23:38With Mahesh Thikshana being that last dismissal.
23:41For one.
23:43Both the wrist spinners for Pakistan really bowled well.
23:48Picked up three wickets.
23:53Uh for Abra.
23:55A couple of wickets for sri lanka.
23:57Being asked to bat first.
23:58And uh they got 35 in that power play.
24:00Lost two wickets.
24:01And then Shadab's very first over after the power play got them two more wickets.
24:05And that really pulled sri lanka's plans back.
24:0740 from lianage was good of 31.
24:10Rest of them got stars but couldn't multiply that.
24:13128 all out.
24:20Yes the condition suited the ball.
24:22Kavel is not looking too good for sri lanka in the first 320 international of this rhino cup.
24:28Powered by bellows.
24:29Let's take a look at how sri lanka finished off.
24:32Not impressive at all.
24:35They had their moments.
24:36Especially with hasaranga and lianage together.
24:38And you would have expected dasun shanaka to come in and give it the finish
24:42that he's capable of but not to be.
24:45And sri lanka being dismissed for just 128 in the 20th hour.
24:50Pakistan bowling with a definitely below par.
24:54We were talking at one stage of around 160.
24:58But at least 150 looked very possible.
25:02But suddenly with those last few wickets crumbling and next to nothing I think they haven't really
25:10set Pakistan that challenging target that they would have loved to have had.
25:15But still it's a funny game.
25:18Absolutely right.
25:18Anything can happen in the evening.
25:23But Pakistan will take a lot of heart and take a lot of momentum from the end of that bowling innings.
25:28Into their batting and they can have a really productive power play.
25:32Really can break the back of this run chase quite early on.
25:36You've got some good players.
25:36Some experienced players as well.
25:38Men in form.
25:39They'll be looking to put this game beyond sri lanka early on in this power play.
25:48And they've got the likes of chimera.
25:50Those are real fast bowlers to look out for.
25:52He's been a standout over the last year or so.
25:55Head and shoulders above any other fast bowler.
25:57See that's a comfort for sri lanka because the bowling resources have gone in with four
26:04front line bowlers.
26:06There you spoke about Shamira Nwantushara has had his moments.
26:10He's been very good.
26:11He's been very good.
26:13But take nothing away from the Pakistan openers.
26:18Saib Sada Faran.
26:19A strike rate of close to 130.
26:23Average in the mid-20s.
26:26Early days in his career.
26:29And then this man.
26:31Sai Miobe has looked very good.
26:34He's had some wonderful times in the middle.
26:38Great strike rate.
26:39That average will get better.
26:41Just 23 years.
26:43So this is a quite a potent opening partnership for Pakistan.
26:48But sri lanka will have to strike quickly.
26:50And this man.
26:52He's generally on his day has can be devastating.
26:55Nwantushara.
26:56Those numbers.
26:57Right the countdown is on.
26:59Nine, nine, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
27:04Let's play.
27:06And looking for.
27:08Starts off on the leg stump.
27:10Searching for some movement.
27:16In fact they'll get.
27:18On the pads not.
27:19That's not the line to bowl.
27:21You got short fine leg in the circle.
27:23That's easy pickings.
27:30Striving for something.
27:31Early on.
27:33We're not quite shaping as much as the previous deliveries.
27:36Seem to keep angling in.
27:41And he's just off his executions.
27:46And it's costing him here now.
27:47This is.
27:48Come.
27:50Oh good shot.
27:51Very good shot.
27:52I'll tell you.
27:53That's gone the distance.
27:55That is an excellent shot.
27:57From Saim Ayuk.
27:59That's out of the top draw.
28:01What a brilliant stroke.
28:02He's not happy with that shot.
28:08This is a Sri Lankan coach.
28:12The coaching star, Nalinga.
28:14This is a glorious stroke.
28:16As you say, he's played from the crease.
28:19Wrist work, balance.
28:21The whole lot was included in that shot for six.
28:24Absolutely brilliant.
28:28Oh, nothing on the side.
28:30Oh, beautiful.
28:30Beautiful.
28:32That time on the pads.
28:33Working the angle.
28:35And he is looking good, Saim Ayuk.
28:39When you hear this name, Ayuk, you hear about the harp
28:42and what he's got and what he's got to offer.
28:44He's such a youngster.
28:46When he plays shots of this, it just oozes Kloss.
28:49Look at that.
28:50Just the belt fell onto the ball there.
28:54Just such a beautiful piece of timing.
28:58He's got fun.
29:00Oh, what a shot.
29:01What a shot that is.
29:04It hit the side screen on the full.
29:07That is a shot with authority.
29:10Again, pace off.
29:12And hit with tremendous power.
29:16Absolute beauty.
29:18He smoked this one.
29:20Almost like he knew it was coming.
29:21The slower delivery, he saw it.
29:24And he freed those arms up.
29:26Just enjoyed admiring his work.
29:30Lovely view of it.
29:31The left foot going out to the leg side.
29:33A touch so he could free those arms up.
29:35And pure timing.
29:3793 meters.
29:38That's a big one.
29:41Short one.
29:42That's gone for six as well.
29:46Back to back.
29:47They are moving very, very quickly.
29:52The other's gone for 18.
29:54There's still one delivery left.
29:56I was wondering when Tesoro would think about using a back of a length or a shorter delivery.
30:00And he's tried everything and he included that short delivery and has been dispatched.
30:07Went very hard, that's for sure.
30:10Went many a mile.
30:12Back to back sixes.
30:13A great wrist, a lot of power.
30:21It's too short.
30:22That is too short.
30:23That's for timing.
30:25And that's for that length.
30:27We're in the power place, John.
30:30You're asking for trouble.
30:33This pair has been clinical so far.
30:37I mean, great to watch his variation there.
30:41He never looks like he tries to hit the ball too hard.
30:44Ayub places the ball.
30:46Classical technique.
30:51That's four.
30:53The fifth is on the board.
30:54They're running away with it.
30:56Trilanka needed wickets, but they're leaking runs.
31:02Yeah, a pretty slowish delivery.
31:03108 kilometers on that.
31:06And Saibzada Faran was all over it.
31:11Five boundaries and three sixes already.
31:13Yeah, just trying to bowl a leg cutter there.
31:19Minus this boundary, but Chamira has been pick of the ball.
31:22He's been amongst wickets.
31:26It's a good delivery.
31:27He's asking a question.
31:28The keeper never reacted to it.
31:30It's only Chamira.
31:32But as of now, you look at the two batters out there.
31:36And it's picked up.
31:40That's his favorite zone.
31:42He favors that.
31:43It's the stronger area where Saim Ayub scores runs and he gets yet another boundary.
31:50Jeez, they're playing some wonderful shots.
31:52Sasaranga loosening up.
31:54Well, he's not going to have many runs to bowl to.
31:59Because both openers,
32:03they really are
32:04and they are playing wonderfully well.
32:09Oh, he's missed it completely.
32:12That no-look shot has become a no-look wicket.
32:15Tikshana strikes has been rewarded
32:18for being consistently into the stumps
32:20and this time beats all defenses.
32:23Pakistan lose their first.
32:24A breather for Sri Lanka.
32:32Tikshana.
32:35Almost at 100.
32:36That deviates ever so slightly.
32:38In towards the left-hander.
32:46The celebrations tell you the story of how the Sri Lankans are feeling at the moment.
32:52Daim Ayub's gone for 24.
32:55Catch it is the call and it's been dropped.
32:59A tough call.
33:01Dived forward.
33:02Thought he got his fingers underneath it.
33:04Thought he had it.
33:05Dasun Shanaka.
33:06Never easy diving forward though.
33:10Sri Lanka need those to stick.
33:16Have a closer look.
33:17Thought he did carry.
33:22Oh, that's a drop in fact.
33:26Done all the hard work but just forgot to.
33:31Pour slightly towards that leg side.
33:37Rockiness serve.
33:42Sri Lanka's fielding coach here.
33:44Leg bicep.
33:47Another slow one but ends up as a low full toss.
33:50And another boundary.
33:51Runs leaking here.
33:53Eight overs gone.
33:5476 for one.
33:56And maintenance.
33:56Very prolific.
33:57Sabzada Farhan.
34:03And he started to ooze with confidence.
34:05But you have to lord a Pakistani baller's performance.
34:12By packing up that innings for a poultry total.
34:15They have taken all the pressure off from the Pakistani batsmen.
34:18Allow them the freedom to come out and bat freely.
34:24And there have been many a situation that they have to face including this one here.
34:32Where Pakistan's hitting boundaries for fun.
34:36But Sri Lanka as a nation has always overcome.
34:40Yeah, good footwork.
34:50Using depth of the crease of that occasion.
34:53Pakistani captain Salman Aliaga.
34:55He has looked very positive.
35:00Oh no.
35:01This time it's taken in the deep.
35:03It was a friendly full toss.
35:05For a moment.
35:07Salman Aliaga thought he had everything.
35:10But instead he only found the man at Longhorn.
35:13And Sri Lanka has just got their second wicket.
35:16It's a cruel game for some.
35:18You keep on balling good deliveries without any luck.
35:22And then you ball a long hop.
35:25Or juicy full toss should I say.
35:28And you pick up a wicket.
35:30Funny old game this.
35:34And Hasaranga amongst wickets.
35:36Nicely judged catch.
35:39That is the Pakistani captain.
35:42Who has to walk back.
35:43After scoring 16 off 11.
35:50There was a slow delivery.
35:52Outside the off stump.
35:54And that was thumped.
35:58Should be three.
36:02And button innings it has been by Farhan.
36:04He is 8.50.
36:06Third in his last five innings.
36:10It talks of the quality this man brings into this Pakistan batting.
36:17This time taken.
36:19Shanagata catcher.
36:21Farhan goes.
36:24It is Dushmantha Chameera who strikes.
36:27And Sri Lanka have got a third wicket.
36:30Yeah it was Roshan who put mockers on Sabzada Farhan.
36:35Commentator's curse.
36:37And he is walking back.
36:39Nevertheless.
36:40Good contribution from him.
36:4351 from 36 deliveries.
36:45No timing.
36:46No elevation.
36:48Let's hold out.
36:49Out.
36:50That's one of one for three.
36:59Out for 51 Farhan.
37:01It's 101 for three.
37:02I think.
37:03Alternately.
37:08Have.
37:23I think.
