OUT! Run Out. Rumman Raees to Thisara Perera. Yorker, down leg side on the back foot Slog, mis-timed to silly mid on for 1 run, fielded by Khan, by Ahmed. That's the end of the innings as Perera is run out racing back for a second to retain the strike. It's good fielding from the bowler Raees and Ahmed to team up for the run out and it stops the Sri Lankan charge prematurely. It started well for the Sri Lanka's during the first power play, but some slow overs in the middle restricted the run flow before Perera smashed some quick runs at the end. Credit to the Pakistani spinners and in particular Hasan Ali who records his best ODI bowling figures with 5-34. Once again the bowlers were ontop. There's a long way to go in the game and the Sri Lankan bowlers have been good so far in the series, but I fancy Pakistan to have just a little too much batting to be prevented from victory.
Rumman Raees to Thisara Perera. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Slog, thick edge in the air uncontrolled to deep cover for 2 runs, dropped catch by ul-Haq, fielded by Zaman.
Hasan Ali to Lahiru Gamage. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot dropped, to cover for no runs, fielded by Hafeez.
OUT! Caught. Hasan Ali to Dushmantha Chameera. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Ahmed. Hasan Ali has his five-for after a brilliant spell of bowling. He gets Chameera with the faintest of outside edges behind to the keeper, and it's given by umpire Ravi after a long thought process. Perera is the key wicket though and Sri Lanka will be hoping for another quick 20 runs to boost their total with the remaining balls here.
Hasan Ali to Dushmantha Chameera. Short, outside off stump ducked, shoulders arms to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ahmed.

FOUR! Rumman Raees to Thisara Perera. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, past deep mid wicket for 4 runs, mis-fielded by Zaman. Another four! This is just what Sri Lanka need in the late stages, Raees has been the only bowler not to be at his best tonight and he's been punished that over. Pererra's hit him for 15, all into the leg side of course. He's pushing Sri Lanka up to a defendable total here.
FOUR! Rumman Raees to Thisara Perera. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Another four after getting lucky last ball, this time he's absolutely dominated the ball, hitting it straight out of the middle for four, a good little cameo from Perera here.
Rumman Raees to Thisara Perera. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Zaman.
FOUR! Rumman Raees to Thisara Perera. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. That's a really good pull from Perera who's clubbed the ball into the leg side and it's come out of the middle of the bat and left the fielder no chance in chasing it down.
Rumman Raees to Dushmantha Chameera. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot dropped, to short leg for 1 run, fielded by Khan.

Mohammad Hafeez to Thisara Perera. Off break length ball, middle stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, to backward point for no runs, fielded by ul-Haq.
FOUR! Mohammad Hafeez to Thisara Perera. Off break short, outside off stump down the track Slog, past long off for 4 runs, mis-fielded by Khan. Four again for Perera who slogs the ball unattractively down the ground, and it gets past Junaid Khan due to a misfield and he notches up another boundary.
Mohammad Hafeez to Thisara Perera. Off break length ball, middle stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, to backward point for no runs, fielded by Azam.
Wide Mohammad Hafeez to Thisara Perera. Off break length ball, down leg side on the front foot, shoulders arms to fine leg for 3 runs.

Mohammad Hafeez to Dushmantha Chameera. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot working, to silly mid on for 1 run, shy attempt by Khan.
FOUR! Hasan Ali to Thisara Perera. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Four for Perera who pushes the ball over the top to wide mid-on for a one bounce four, a good shot as he realises the need to up the run rate as the tail crumbles around him.
Hasan Ali to Dushmantha Chameera. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to third man for 1 run, fielded by Khan.
Hasan Ali to Dushmantha Chameera. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by ul-Haq.
Jeffrey Vandersay to Mohammad Hafeez. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Perera. That single gives Pakistan the victory, a very comfortable one in truth and it has been spearheaded by Hasan Ali with the ball, who managed a wondeful five wickets earlier in the game, and Ul-Haq on debut, with a glorious century. He no doubt will have secured his place for the final couple ODI's in this series with that performance. The victory gives Pakistan a series victory as they are 3-0 up in the five game series. It also condemns Sri Lanka to a tenth straight ODI defeat, and it wouldn't surprise you, given the body language on display out there in the second innings. Pakistan played both innings close to perfectly and fully deserve this dominating win. Sri Lanka will have to regroup and find an answer to their problems at present. Hasan Ali's five wickets makes him the fastest Pakistani to 50 ODI wickets, and fourth quickest worldwide, he also retains his spot as the highest wicket taker in ODI's in 2017. What an impressive young talent he is.
FOUR! Jeffrey Vandersay to Mohammad Hafeez. Leg spinner half volley, to leg on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Good shot from Hafeez who just lifts the ball over the top of the infield for four down to mid-wicket. One run for victory now.
Jeffrey Vandersay to Mohammad Hafeez. Leg spinner length ball, middle stump on the front foot defending, to silly mid on for no runs, fielded by Vandersay.
Wide Jeffrey Vandersay to Mohammad Hafeez. Leg spinner length ball, down leg side on the front foot, Left to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Dickwella.
OUT! Caught. Thisara Perera to Imam ul-Haq. Short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, Gloved to leg slip, by Dickwella. Imam Ul-Haq goes, a short ball from Perera which he gloves behind to the keeper, no doubt his concentration and emotions were all over the place at that moment in time. A very, very, impressive innings. He was confident and classy throughout, propelling his side to victory in the process. Well done.
Thisara Perera to Mohammad Hafeez. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot working, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Chandimal.
Thisara Perera to Imam ul-Haq. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Perera. Ul-Haq has done it! It hasn't been an innings without it's fair share of drama, but he has batted almost to perfection and fully deserves this. He's into a few record books with this as well. He's the second Pakistani to score an ODI ton on debut, and is also the third youngest to score an ODI ton in the world. What an impressive batting performance from the 21 year old. Well done to you sir!
