2.1 to Ahmed Shehzad, Shehzad is gone. Dead plumb. Inswinger from Kula, on a length, and Shehzad is caught on the back foot and beaten. Hit right in front. When Kula gets the inswingers right and accurate, he is a tough customer. 11/1
19.3 to Yasir Arafat, bouncer, Arafat comes down the track, and cuts it in the air, straight to Dilshan at sweeper-cover. Dilshan still not emoting much. Arafat has at least brought Afridi back on strike. 119/6

403117.75103100
18.3 to Shoaib Malik, Dilshan takes this one, but is still cross with himself for having dropped the previous one. Short again, but stays a little low. Malik pulls, and finds Dilshan to perfection. Dilshan throws the ball away in disgust, and doesn't even join the others in celebrating. Clearly disappointed with the previous delivery. 109/5
411804.50110000
403127.7594010
8.1 to Umar Akmal, and he strikes first ball. Akmal premeditates a paddle, Kaushal bowls a flat legbreak, and he misses. My first reaction says Akmal is unlucky, but I am still waiting for replays. I am wrong. This is a good decision. Length ball, pi6ches outside off, doesn't turn, goes with the angle, hits him in front of off. The lack of turn did him in. 29/3
10.1 to Mohammad Hafeez, Kaushal gets another. Soft dismissal. Short, on the pads, stays a touch low, hurries onto him, and he has hit it straight to shortish midwicket. 41/4

14.5 to LD Chandimal, Tanvir strikes timber. Too much pressure. Slower ball. Chandimal tries the scoop over the keeper. He is through the shot before the ball arrives. When it does arrive, the ball hits the leg stump. 76/5
3.201835.40143020
3.2 to KC Sangakkara, Arafat gets the wicket. For no obvious reason, Sangakkara - who has the run-rate under control - dances down the track and slashes at the fast bowler. Mis-hits it straight to point, and Pakistan are still in it. 19/1
3.6 to KMDN Kulasekara, Sri Lanka have let Pakistan back in through some ordinary batting and inexplicable thinking. Promoted to No. 3, Kulasekara plays three dots before going for another wild hit, and manages to lob it as far as cover-point. T20 doesn't follow reason or logic. 19/2
19.2 to AD Mathews, fittingly Afridi gets the last touch on the ball. This is his 50th T20I, and he has scored a fifty, taken wickets, and then the final catch. Mathews slices this slog towards long-off, and Afridi charges in to complete a low catch. Hafeez is delighted at first win as captain. 99/10
301635.33111020
16.2 to HDRL Thirimanne, he has done Thirimanne in for pace here. Sami copped a lot of flak the other night, but Sami has come back superbly. Not too short, but this bounces chest high, with no room. And then the pace. To late into the pull. Keeper completes an easy catch. 85/6
16.4 to NLTC Perera, you can't keep a really quick man down for to long. Good to see real raw pace in a format where "taking the pace off" is the regulation delivery. Sami is quick, straight, just short of a length, and has burst through Perera's defences. Timbahhhh. Boy, is Sami pumped?. 90/7
18.2 to SMSM Senanayake, Sami is running through them here. A poor shot. He is looking to sweep Sami, and this is a length ball well wide of him. The top edge is gleefully accepted at cover. 94/9
401724.25160100
7.5 to TM Dilshan, Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi doesn't need the umpire this time. No turn again. No room again. A frustrated Dilshan goes to cut a ball that is neither short nor wide. Cleaned up. And Afridi raises his arms in the Boris Becker celebration. 39/3
11.3 to CK Kapugedera, and Afridi has his right index finger up in the air as his team-mates gather around him. He has fired this slider in, and before Kapu realises it has crashed through the gate to flatten the stumps. 62/4
402015.00101000
17.2 to KS Lokuarachchi, Don't bother about the dots. Ajmal gets a wicket. Reminiscent of Tino "mind-the-windows" Best. Kaushal leaves the crease even before the ball is delivered, and all Ajmal has to do is bowl the straighter delivery, and he is stumped by miles. 91/8
