Over 35. 1 run. Bowler: Thisara Perera. Pakistan: 135/4(rr 3.86)

Perera to Afridi. In-swinging length ball, middle stump on the front foot pushing, to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Mathews. A tame end to the match which was dominated by Pakistan. Two early wickets to the impressive opening attack gave Sri Lanka some hope, but the scoring rate was never enough to entice Pakistan to play rash shots. The good balls could be occasionally pushed into gaps and the odd bad ball could be punished, and there was even the luxury of the option to leave several deliveries. Mohammad Hafeez, Misbah-ul-Haq and Umar Akmal all got into the thirties, with young Akmal getting some licence to play some bold shots as the winning tape came into view. The bowlers all had tidy figures, but given the batting disaster earlier in the day exceptional was what was needed rather than tidy. So Pakistan go one up in the series, with four to play. The second match will be on Saturday at the same venue. Umar Gul did bowl exceptionally to wreck the Sri Lankan top order, and he has been named Man of the Match.
