Saim Ayub to Kusal Perera, leg byes, 1 run, looked so good on line but one of those balls that probably landed on the seam and jumped extra. Round the wicket, ball pitching leg stump and turning square to stun the batter as he looks to nudge to leg. Perera missed it by a distance. Impact in line with middle and off but the bounce was taking it over the off stump. Pakistan lose a review

Saim Ayub to Kamil Mishara, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Advances and lofts, but this hasn't gone off the middle of the bat. Oh Babar with another great catch. He took one overhead to dismiss Mendis manning the long-off fence. Now he runs in from long-off to take a very good low catch diving forward. This is a big wicket because it's the set Kamil Mishara who is walking back. Sri Lanka will be hoping it's not another middle-order collapse today. Mishara stepped out to go hit, but the ball came off the bottom of the bat and didn't have the legs. Babar judged it so well to get the big wicket. Kamil Mishara c Babar Azam b Saim Ayub 59(47) [4s-2 6s-4]

Saim Ayub to Kamil Mishara, 2 runs, shortish delivery down leg, Mishara flicks through square leg, Mishara actually slipped while turning back for the second run but that doesn't stop him from stealing the second run. Poor throw to the left of Usman Khan and he injured himself in the process trying to collect an awkward throw. Looks like it hit the left elbow/forearm
