49.3 to Umar Gul, the offstump is knocked out! Gul made a bit of room but was too late in getting his bat down on time, he tried to hit across the line. 200/10
1013613.60404010
43.6 to Shahid Afridi, That ends a superb rearguard effort by Afridi! He chased a full and wide delivery, the ball clipped the outside edge and flew to Sanga's right, he held it with one hand, Afridi was uncertain whether he hit the ball on the ground but in fact it was his bat. 181/8
1032632.60431010
6.1 to Imran Farhat, that's a really slick catch by Sangakkara! It was not a wicket-taking ball, down the leg side, meant to be flicked to fine leg, Farhat however could only glove it and Sangakkara anticipated it early, moved to his right and took it with one hand on the dive, he took it barely inches from the ground. 18/1
16.1 to Younis Khan, and Fernando yet again picks up a wicket with a first ball of a spell, soft dismissal this time, he fails to read the slower ball, comes forward too early and ends up tamely scooping it to Mendis at short cover. 62/3
46.6 to Saeed Ajmal, the yorker consumes him, full and straight on the middle stump, Ajmal is rooted to the crease and plays all around it, on the base of the pad, plumb in front. 191/9
904024.44271100
21.6 to Shoaib Malik, big appeal for a lbw and the umpire Zameer Haider gives him out! Massive googly by Mendis, Malik is trapped at the crease, he tries to rock back and play but the ball zips back in and traps him in front of the stumps, Malik thinks about reviewing it and discusses it with Misbah but he walks. 69/4
23.5 to Umar Akmal, another massive appeal! This time SL go for the referral, Haider thinks about it and says not out, Akmal goes right back at the crease and fails to pick the googly, the ball appears to hit him on the back leg in line with the leg stump, the third umpire confirms that he is gone and Haider has to reverse his decision. 71/5
1015525.50334240
15.2 to Mohammad Hafeez, Just when a wicket falls in Johannesburg, another one falls here! Hafeez goes for ambitious slog sweep, he doesn't get the elevation to clear long leg and Chandimal takes the catch. 57/2
34.2 to Sarfaraz Ahmed, we have a review here, the ball lands on middle and leg and straightens, Sarfraz is a half stride forward and the ball appears to hit him in line with the stumps, the umpire gives him out but there was a doubt if there was an inside edge, Pakistan refer it, the umpire takes his time and upholds the umpire's decision. 120/7

3.3 to WU Tharanga, that's a sharp catch! Cheema pitches it up outside off, angles it across Tharanga, he cannot resist another slash down to third man but the ball clips the top edge of the bat and Younis Khan cups it over his head at first slip, good reflexes. 18/1
7.6 to TM Dilshan, that's an awesome delivery, they appeal for a caught behind and Dilshan asks for a referral! The ball shapes in from outside off, draws Dilshan forward, the ball deviates before reaching the keeper and the keeper and bowler start celebrating, Dilshan wants it referred, there was the sound of a snick when seeing the replay on TV but there was no apparent deviation after it missed the bat, must have been a thin edge, the decision is upheld. 37/2
812312.87291000
12.4 to LD Chandimal, he's hit the timber! Something like how Dilshan got out in the third match, he moved right across his stumps to paddle him, the ball strikes the bat and then drags to the stumps. 53/3
511703.40190021
912923.22340110
38.4 to AD Mathews, now what have we here? He drifts down the leg side and Mathews has a feel for it, nicks it to the keeper as he tries to nudge it own, Sarfraz knows it and so does the umpire. 156/5
44.5 to SL Malinga, and Ajmal gets it to skid through! Tossed up on middle and it just snuck through that gap between bat and pad, Malinga was at the crease and clueless, perhaps he was expecting it to turn in, plumb in front. 174/9
9.203553.75344010
37.5 to KC Sangakkara, he's breached his defenses! But has it come too late? Sangakkara was beaten for the turn on the drive, lunged forward and the ball spun in and went past the bat-pad gap. 155/4
41.3 to BMAJ Mendis, another one bites the dust and this time Afridi stretches his arms and legs wide in celebration, the offcutter lands on middle and traps Mendis in front of the stumps, plumb, he was expecting it to spin away. 161/6
43.2 to DPMD Jayawardene, and it's that man again! Sharp catch by Hafeez to go with it, Afridi tosses it up outside off and Mahela cannot resist going for it, he scoops it hard and Hafeez at short cover falls forward and judges the catch well. 168/7
43.3 to S Prasanna, and he's on a hat-trick! This is incredible! Tossed up quicker outside off, he drives hard and Afridi anticipates it well and moves to his left very quickly, he catches it inches off the ground. 168/8
45.2 to NLTC Perera, Afridi goes one better by taking five wickets! Perera went for the mighty slog and got a top edge, it was in the air for an hour but it was Akmal who got under it. An incredible Pakistan fightback, reminiscent from the 1990s and earlier, and quite an unbelievable collapse by SL. 174/10
