Over 15.5Saeed Ajmal to NT Paranavitana, STUMPED OUT. Paranavitana dances down the track for an ambitious lofted shot straight down the ground and is comprehensively beaten by the turn for an easy stumping.
Over 56.5Saeed Ajmal from round the sticks to TM Dilshan, OUT LBW! Dilshan goes back and gets a quicker off break which skids through to hit the pad plumb infront of middle for an lbw! Dilshan out just a couple of minutes before Tea!
Over 149.1 Mohammad Hafeezto KC Sangakkara,1 + Herath Run Out. Sangakkara drives it off the frontfoot powerfully to the right of long off and sets off for a desperate second run. Herath is struggling though in completing the second run and is a yard short with Hafeez collecting the throw and disturbing the stumps.
Over 97.3Saeed Ajmal to DPMD Jayawardene, CLEAN BOWLED, Mahela bends down for a slog sweep and is foxed by a doosra which straightens to hit the off stump!
Over 103.5Saeed Ajmal to TT Samaraweera, STUMPED OUT, and Ajmal takes four out of the four SL wickets to go down! Samaraweera lunged forward in defence, and is completely foxed by a doosra which spins past the outside edge. The batsman has overbalanced and is slightly out of the crease and that is enough for Adnan Akmal to quickly affect a stumping.
Over 103.6Saeed Ajmal to AD Mathews, CAUGHT N BOWLED, make that five in five for Ajmal and he is now on a hat-trick as well! Mathews lunges forward and pushes his bat to a well tossed up delivery too early and ends up lobbing the ball back to the bowler!
Over 140.3Abdur Rehman to S Randiv, CAUGHT N BOWLED, Randiv comes forward and drags his forcing drive back to the bowler who takes a sharp catch to his right.
Over 141.5Mohammad Hafeez to KMDN Kulasekara, CAUGHT, Kulasekara only comes half forward in defence and gets hit on the thighpad by a sharp turning off break and is taken at shortleg. It is not a convincing appeal from Hafeez but Umpire Gould for some reason lifts his finger up to give a wrong decision! And that will be Tea at Galle on Day 2.
Over 153.2Mohammad Hafeez to Nuwan Pradeep, CLEAN BOWLED. And that I am afraid will not allow Sangakkara to his double century! Pradeep came forward in defence and is cleaned up through the gate by a well tossed up and turning off break.
Over 133.5Mohammad Hafeez to HAPW Jayawardene, CAUGHT, Prasanna comes forward in a cover drive and can only edge the straighter one to the keeper.
Over 141.5Mohammad Hafeez to KMDN Kulasekara, CAUGHT, Kulasekara only comes half forward in defence and gets hit on the thighpad by a sharp turning off break and is taken at shortleg.

Over 20.3S Randiv to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT LBW, Hafeez goes back to a full delivery and is hit plumb infront of off on the backleg by a straighter one. The Umpire thinks about it and gives it out.
Over 4.2KMDN Kulasekara to Taufeeq Umar, OUT LBW, Taufeeq pays a big price of nervously padding up to a length ball which nips back around middle. The Umpire gives it out lbw but the ball had marginally pitched outside leg. Poor decision I feel as the ball hit the pad pretty high.
Over 4.3KMDN Kulasekara to Azhar Ali, CAUGHT, Azhar falls for a first ball duck, he moves back and feels for a delivery that left him off the seam and can only manage a thin edge to the keeper! Kulasekara is on a hat-trick with that!!
Over 20.4S Randiv to Saeed Ajmal, CAUGHT, Nightwatchman Saeed Ajmal comes forward to work a sharp turning and bouncing off break and the ball clips something and flies to shortleg. Ajmal seems to be walking away and the Umpire gives it out caught. Replays show that there was no inside edge or glove and Ajmal shakes his head in disbelief. His body language fooled the Umpire in giving him out. Suraj Randiv is on a hat-trick!
Over 21.6HMRKB Herath to Asad Shafiq, CAUGHT, Pakistan lose their fifth wicket!! Shafiq comes in defence on the frontfoot in front of middle but the flattish delivery drifted in and turned away sharply to take a thin edge to the keeper who takes a low catch!!
Over 53.5HMRKB Herath to Mohammad Ayub, OUT LBW, Ayub looks to come forward in defence and is foxed by an arm ball which strikes the pad plumb infront.
Over 45.1HMRKB Herath to Adnan Akmal, 1 + Adnan Akmal Run Out! Akmal sweeps it to fine leg and sets off for a second run. His partner Ayub is ball watching and both batsmen end up at the batting end! Adnan tries to return to the bowling end but in vain as Nuwan Pradeep cleverly throws it to Herath for a run out.
Over 50.1S Randiv to Abdur Rehman, OUT LBW, Randiv dismisses Rehman with a flat drifter from round the sticks which has the left hander plumb infront of the stumps in an attempted forward defence.
Over 54.3S Randiv to Umar Gul, CAUGHT, Gul bends down and goes through with a big slog sweep but can only top edge it high in the air and the keeper takes the high catch behind the stumps. That is also time for lunch with Pakistan conceding a first innings lead of 372 runs. I suspect they will be asked to follow on.
Over 4.2KMDN Kulasekara to Taufeeq Umar, OUT LBW, Taufeeq pays a big price of nervously padding up to a length ball which nips back around middle. The Umpire gives it out lbw but the ball had marginally pitched outside leg. Poor decision I feel as the ball hit the pad pretty high.

Over 19.6Saeed Ajmal to NT Paranavitana, OUT LBW, Paranavitana steps out and is beaten in the flight and he blindly has the ball hitting his back thigh which is plumb infront of middle. The Umpire gives the lbw much to the relief of Ajmal.
Over 20.3Junaid Khan to TM Dilshan, CAUGHT BEHIND, Dilshan gets half forward in defence and is hit on the pad by one that nipped back. The Umpire Steve Davis gives it out though the impact seemed to be on the higher side. Well surprisingly that has been given as caught behind, so another bad decision from the Umpires in this match.
Over 25.3Saeed Ajmal to KC Sangakkara, CAUGHT, Sanga stretches forward to drive it through covers, and is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and ends up spooning it to extra covers. Sanga was in two minds whether to play it along the ground or lift it over the top of the fielder.
Over 30.6Junaid Khan to DPMD Jayawardene, CAUGHT, Mahela reaches out to a short and rising delivery for an upper cut and can only edge it to the Keeper Adnan Akmal. Mahela just didn't get enough pace from the bowler to put it behind his upper cut.
Over 32.3Junaid Khan to TT Samaraweera, CAUGHT, Samaraweera goes back for a cut to thirdman but edges it to widish first slip where Younis takes a smart low catch to his left.

Over 105.2S Randiv to Abdur Rehman, CAUGHT, Rehman comes down the track and goes through with a big shot straight down the ground but gets a leading edge which is caught brilliantly by a backward running Sangakkara at extra covers. That high catch was swirling away but Sanga somehow pulled it off!
