SLA 1ST

OUT! Run Out. Muhammad Waseem Jnr to Dasun Shanaka. Reverse Swing-In half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed to long on for 1 run, fielded by Azam, shy attempt by Khan. That's the end of the first innings. Sri Lanka posted a competitive total on the board. After the early departure of Pathum Nissanka, Kamil Mishara and Kusal Mendis built a solid partnership, with Mishara reaching his half-century. For Pakistan, Abrar Ahmed picked up two wickets, while Salman Ali Mirza and Saim Ayub each took one. Will the home side chase down the target, or will Sri Lanka defend their total? Join us for the run chase.
