Over 45. 6 runs. Bowler: Thisara Perera. Pakistan: 199/10(rr 4.42)

OUT! Caught. Perera to Ajmal. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, fielded by Thirimanne. Ajmal drives and drives with no real conviction as Sri Lanka wrap up the innings with five overs to spare. Ajmal looked for the big shot over long-off but his limited footwork was his undoing as he scooped a chance to mid-off. Thirimanne ran in and dived at full stretch to claim the final wicket of the innings. Sri Lanka fought back extremely well to win this match when it looked as if Pakistan had it by the scruff of the neck. Perera's hat-trick was the turning point in the Pakistan innings as the tourists fell apart. The bowling was good from the SriLankans but Pakistan's batsmen will have some soul searching to do. Sangakkara batted well for the Sri lankans and Azhar Ali almost matched him with his knock of 81 not out, the support was not forthcoming for Ali though. That ultimately proved the difference as only Misbah provided him with a long term partnership. Sri Lanka will look to wrap up the series in the final ODI while Pakistan will be looking to level it with Sri lanka leading 2-1.

OUT! Caught. Perera to Khan. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, outside edge in the air under control to wicketkeeper, fielded by Sangakkara.
