00:00Afridi in much earlier than he would have wished again outside the line is

00:11Michael but Afridi never picked that one either they're asking for it but hitting

00:19him outside the line even though it's it in the stumps but it's not here as long

00:23as he's playing a shot he's safe Shida Afridi

00:34gets the gap that was in the slot Shida Afridi he's not one to hold back

00:40no he sure isn't they're loving it there in the terraces

00:47I've got to say it's a nice friendly full one with Malinga starting another

00:53new spell and a nice little ripper through off stop

01:06that's what he's looking for to be right up there

01:10not pretty quickly on to five or three and they got to bank them or back them

01:16quick single direct hitwood's definitely would have had me spell hug

01:25come back to do terms of possible running here was he started there and a director

01:33would have been very tight very risky to take that given the match situation

01:41this is big very good use of the feet and it's on the roof

01:48no in fact it's in the crowd but that's what side are pretty can do now can it be

01:55he stay today he is a big occasion player and look at the use of his feet tossed up

02:03down the wicket bang

02:07he loves it he just loves using his feet and getting to the pitch and I have not seen

02:12many at this stage slow delivery everybody's trying those not

02:19sacrifying from a Freedy that's for sure

02:25works of an outside edge I could have been trouble both batsmen were in the

02:29middle of the pitch Paul sliced off an outside edge now Freedy wanted the run

02:36he gets it down to long off sensible cricket 118 for six I think that's one

02:46big reason that he's getting those balls skits and turning a little bit also so

02:50that was really causing Pakistan a huge amount of problem

02:55they won't hold back with the batting power play

03:00and it's just the single

03:04the ball really well missed it miss fielder

03:11there's a poor fielding

03:18and the persona gave the Sydney have a bridge should have done better searching for the

03:24Yorker and it just misses it Lange but naughty

03:29not supporting your teammates got to stop everything you're on a roll Sri Lanka you're in the driving

03:36seat all those sort of cricketing cliches they're there

03:39and the full island for free d

03:47and see Lassit Malinga try the ball a fuller land of the it really hard

03:56they want to sing once the strike does a free d and a good running for much more good reaction

04:06persona back on he's excited the bowler but I think there's a little bottom edge here is wait for

04:12the signal

04:12He does and I was just wondering when is he going to launch and guess what

04:18right on cue

04:20he brings up his 50 in style gives himself room and slots it over extra cover for six

04:28well play to Fridi

04:33that was a brilliant shot from Fridi

04:36says there you go have a look at those three things the stumps

04:39and again fuller from persona so just a single one delivery to go in the oversize good result this

04:49for pakistan nine off and there is that uh glorious extra cover drive for six salutes the crowd

04:59such a showman see could get persona will continue goes down the ground

05:04and he's overrun it that's another mistake from the sri lancans

05:14angelo matthews sri lanka's best fielder i would say

05:19yes it turned out to be a wrong gun for angelo matthews straight ball hit straight

05:24up really was looking hopefully that the ball will go across the line but not like this

05:29gets it over the top again

05:35that's four more

05:40you notice he's been very clever

05:43well this is not good cricket from sri lanka they've released the pressure and they've allowed

05:47a fridi to explode a real half trigger put away

05:51another slot he won't get four but he'll get two

06:02and make that 55 or 51

06:08that is a beautiful shot

06:11how pretty at his best

06:12hardly seem to have hit that one and it went away in a flash for a magnificent six have a look at

06:19that one glorious shot clearing the man angelo matthews quite easily

06:25what a good over this is turning out to be for pakistan 16 runs from it still a ball to go

06:30but he goes long again delhiro fernando on the boundary line steadies himself and he's dropped it

06:41first couple of boundaries were considered and then delhiro fernando let himself down now this

06:45really should have been held he's got buckets like hands but it leaked it leaked the catch he couldn't

06:52believe it where it was he's sri lanka's fielding coach not bouncing too much and hens hitting the bottom of the bat

07:01he steadied himself

07:06oh no

07:08a jerky and in the end he couldn't believe it prasanna

07:13goes again

07:15could be just a single the prasanna's last ball and he's just been taken apart by a fridi

07:22he's given him

07:28the back did hit the ground and that's the moment the ball would have hit the bat as well

07:33but samakara good reach a fabulous take and afridi has to leave he was initially trying to hoodwink

07:42the umpire but zamir had a saw it and it was a good catch so sri lankans not passively hurt by that

07:50drop chance but nevertheless the momentum is once again with pakistan let's see what they achieve

07:55out of the last few others it's gone after playing one very impressive innings for 75 181 great
