4.3 to JK Silva, he's nicked off! If there was an issue with his batting so far, it was his footwork when the ball wasn't quite so full. That's because Pakistan have been darting the ball both in and out to him. This time Rahat simply slants it away off back of a length. Kaushal is committed into playing at first, then tries to pull the bat inside the line. But he isn't quite quick enough. Faint edge taken and Sarfraz pouches an easy take. This is Rahat's wicket. Beautiful line. 15/1 84.2 to LD Chandimal, review from Pakistan. Big shout for leg before as Rahat gets the inswinger going again! Seems to have pitched in line, hits Chandimal on the knee-roll of the front pad. Bat is nowhere near the ball. Looks terribly close but umpire's call is not out, remember. So it needs to crash into the stumps and crash it does. Three reds, Pakistan have their man. 264/8 88.6 to PHT Kaushal, gone, lbw this time. Given out on-field but the batsman reviews. full and quick, hitting the stumps. It looks like the bat hits the pad. And is out on all counts this time, good decision. Early success for Pakistan. Rahat gets it to swing back into his pads, but is fuller and Kaushal was late on the shot. 277/9

34.5 to WU Tharanga, done him in flight. Loads and loads of it to pull the batsman into the drive. And then suddenly it dips, a result of all the revolutions he puts on the ball. Googly, I think, Turns a touch away, takes the outside edge, hits the keeper and then balloons over the slip. Younis has done well to keep his eye on it and dive forward to pouch it. Good strike, well worked out by Pakistan, from both ends. 106/2 44.2 to HDRL Thirimanne, got 'im! Awful shot from Thirimanne, he's succumbed to dot-ball pressure. Races down the track - which has admittedly been the ploy - and tries to lift a tossed up delivery over mid-off. Doesn't get the elevation he wanted. Simply offers a dolly to the substitute Babar Azam. 133/3 46.6 to AD Mathews, he's got another big one! Yelps and cries from Pakistan. Head tossed back in disgust from Mathews. Awful shot. The advantage they had cultivated in that morning session is slipping away courtesy these few minutes of recklessness. Mathews charges down the track, hits against the turn, concentrates on power more than placement and picks out Babar Azam at mid-on again. Inside edge, as the bat turns on contact. Its all well and good to attack the leggie, but the execution has been sorely wanting. 137/4 66.6 to J Mubarak, has he done him in?! Magnificent bowling from Yasir! Bat's in the air and Sarfraz has whipped the bails off! Another batsman racing down the track to the legspinner and losing his wicket. Appeared to be the googly? Not sure. Think it was just the legspinner that didn't turn. Beats his jittery defensive push. Had a bit of bounce to it too so the wicketkeeper did well to rise with the ball and then bring it onto the stumps. 204/5 89.5 to N Pradeep, Out again, lbw again. Flat and quick, and again Pradeep reviews. Hits him in front, hit in-line and hitting the stumps. Another five-for for Yasir, a five-for in each Test of the series. 22 in the series for Yasir! Pradeep half-prods on the front-foot, and the ball skids on, and is plumb. Didn't try to spin that, out of the front of the hand. 278/10
Azhar Ali	7	0	35	2	5.00	20	4	0	0	0
77.5 to FDM Karunaratne, the part-timer strikes with a big spinning googly! And Dimuth's brilliant innings is undone by a brilliant ball. Loop to make the batsman overbalance, then dip to fool him and then substantial turn as well to seal his fate. A little fumble from the keeper, but that he had the time to recover must tell you how far Dimuth had charged and how well he was hoodwinked. 248/6 77.6 to KTGD Prasad, phew! crazy scenes at Pallekele! Rank long hop (googly gone wrong) has been sent down backward square leg's throat. Perhaps that's simplifying things a bit, because Yasir had to run in and dive forward. Always a tricky proposition in cricket. A lovely stroke of luck for Pakistan. 248/7

8.5 to Shan Masood, took umpire Gould ages to get the finger up. Prasad has the Murali eyes going (wide and nearly popping out of the sockets), and most of that was in disbelief. until the finger came up. It was almost a yorker, hits him on the full on the boot, barely on leg stump. Might be umpire's call here. Double umpire's call - on impact with the pad and clipping leg stump. It was a good set up, a few short balls, the odd one going away and then the rapid one beating Masood for pace. But the batsman has cause to feel slightly unlucky there. 32/1 31.2 to Asad Shafiq, pinned him! Shafiq doesn't bother going for the review. Accurate bowling from Prasad. Hits a good length, threatens the stumps with some movement in. Loves that the batsman being a little stuck on the crease and plays a little across the line. Hit low enough on the pads and would have crashed into middle and leg. 91/4 56.5 to Yasir Shah, has he nicked it? Umpire Gould thinks the edge was there, but the soft signal to the third umpire is it has bounced. It was a fuller delivery, pulling Yasir to play away from the body. It seems a foregone conclusion that the outside edge had been taken. No one's bothering to check that. And the magnifier shows the catch has been taken cleanly by Chandimal diving forward. 197/8

11.3 to Ahmed Shehzad, does him in! Indecision from Shehzad, and reward for the bowler for keeping the ball closer to off stump. The batsman was sucked into playing at first, then alarm bells ring, so he decides to pull it away. In the end, the ball kisses the face and goes through to the keeper. Didn't move that front leg across to get himself into any position to play that ball. 40/2 40.5 to Azhar Ali, gone, this time he has to go, huge edge. Fishes at one outside the off stump and takes the outside edge and good catch by Karunaratne. Good testing stuff has worked, Azhar looked at the huge gap between cover and the sweeper and throws his hands at it only to find the edge. 135/5 44.6 to Misbah-ul-Haq, that's huge! Pinned lbw, Misbah's checking with his non-striker and up he goes for a second opinion. Pradeep went wide of the crease and bowls a very full delivery, angled in at him. Misbah falls over as he looks to flick it away. He is struck in front of middle, and that is clipping leg. Umpire's call stands. Pakistan are fading away. 151/6

45.5 to Ehsan Adil, that's a grubber! It hits a good length outside off stump, Ehsan was justified in staying back. But the ball keeps dreadfully low and it hits his pads right in front of the stumps. 152/7 59.5 to Rahat Ali, another rain break, another Pakistan wicket. This was pushed through on middle, Rahat is too far across with his front foot and plays outside the line. Easy decision for the umpire. 202/9 65.6 to Imran Khan, beaut! bamboozles the No. 11 with a straighter delivery. Imran plunges down the wrong line to try and block. The ball skirts away past the outside edge and crashes into off stump. 215/10

6.2 to FDM Karunaratne, there it is! Top of off takes the gentlest little tap. The bouncer has done its bit, shortcircuits Dimuth's footwork. Good length ball, angled in. Then the little seam away from the defensive poke shaves the off stump. Terrific bowling. 12/1 10.6 to HDRL Thirimanne, awayswinging almost-a-yorker and its bye-bye baby! How late did that swing? Conventional swing doesn't do that. Thirimanne is perhaps a tad late, because he's stuck on the crease, worried about Rahat's swing and impeccable line this morning. Suddenly Thirimanne realises this is dangerous and he has to jam his bat down. Doesn't help him. An absolute demotion of the batsman's defences. 35/3
Ehsan Adil	17	4	66	1	3.88	71	9	0	1	0
7.5 to JK Silva, the captain claims it! The batsman isn't sure. The umpires are getting together. Third umpire called in and the soft signal is not out. It's a probing delivery outside off and Kaushal goes forward to block. Outside edge taken and as soft as he makes his hands, this time the edge seems to have carried. Misbah, at first slip, dives low to his right and has grabbed a good one, I think. Gone. 22/2
Imran Khan	20.4	3	58	5	2.80	94	6	1	1	0
85.2 to LD Chandimal, that's plumb in front! Chandimal checks with his captain and goes for a review though. But this won't help him. Jags the ball back off a good length and catches the batsman in the crease. Chandimal is playing around his front pad, looking for midwicket. He's late in getting there. The ball thuds into the top flap of the pad, but that's no issue since he was so deep in the crease. Hawk Eye shows three reds and off he goes. 278/6 85.3 to KTGD Prasad, that's a beaut! Prasad bags a king pair! First ball ducks in both innings.Terrific delivery to get, angled in on a good length, pitches and seams away. Too good for a tailender to handle. Prasad is caught in the crease and pushes at the ball. He has to play at it, of course. But the movement does him in and Sarfraz takes a simple catch. ~~Might well be the first king pair in Tests since Sehwag's in 2011~~. Herath copped one in 2014.... 278/7 89.6 to PHT Kaushal, edged and taken. Reward for good line bowling. It was in the off stump corridor, sucked Kaushal into playing a forward defensive. Genuine nick, simple catch.. 290/8 93.3 to RAS Lakmal, no doubt there. Gets the outside edge and its safely taken by Sarfraz. Imran pushes the ball fuller and gets it to move away just enough to secure the nick. 306/9 95.4 to AD Mathews, that's it! Five for Imran, his first in Tests. Does the sajda beside the pitch. Pretty innocuous delivery, lots of width outside off and asking to be belted away through the covers. Mathews attempts to do that, but only gets a nick to the keeper.. 313/10
Yasir Shah	32	7	80	2	2.50	154	11	0	0	0
22.2 to WU Tharanga, given this time! Bat-pad catch has been upheld. He's caught in the crease as he looks to play with the turn. But that isn't the threat here. It's the length. Yasir is flighting the ball, but he doesn't allow the batsman to simply lunge forward. So Tharanga keeps to the crease to try and tuck it behind short leg. The inside edge though takes a bit of the pad and balloons to short leg. Good catch from the man under the lid, diving to his left. 80/4 50.2 to J Mubarak, text book for legspinner from around the wicket against a left-hander. Hitting the rough, pulling the batsman forward, getting the ball to bounce a bit more than Mubarak thought, takes the inside edge and it balloons into short leg's hands. That's his 24th wicket of the series. 161/5

6.6 to Azhar Ali, that's unfortunate! He's been snaffled down the leg side. Clear edge as he looks to whip a shortish delivery that was addressed to fine leg's next door neighbour. Should have put it away to the boundary, instead walks back shaking his head. 13/2
Suranga Lakmal	19	5	48	1	2.52	86	3	0	0	3
1.3 to Ahmed Shehzad, that off stump has been surviving as nervously as the batsmen, biting its nails off. And now it takes a ferocious hit. Lakmal gets the ball back into Shehzad, who isn't ready for that kind of movement. He's late in bringing the bat down, his feet are still stuck on leg stump. Big gap provided. Big gap exploited. 0/1

Chandimal whips the bails off before he could turn back and ground his bat. End of a gritty innings from Masood. Waqar Younis pats Masood on the back. 255/3
