the score card is as follows till now


Sri Lanka innings (50 overs maximum) R B 4s 6s SR
View dismissal WU Tharanga c Salman Butt b Shoaib Akhtar 11 16 2 0 68.75
6.3 143.1 kph, Shoaib smiles. He spreads his arms. He doesn't run to nowhere like he used to do. Just stands there and walks towards his team-mates. Times they are changing. It was a short delivery outside off and Tharanga went for the cut but edged it to first slip. 31/1
View dismissal TM Dilshan c Umar Amin b Mohammad Asif 18 25 3 0 72.00
8.1 128.0 kph, Now it's the turn of Asif to smile. Courtesy a fab catch from Umar Amin. It was a gentle length delivery outside off and Dilshan goes for the on-the-up square drive. The ball flies and dips to the left of cover point where Amin dives to take it inches of the turf. It was dying on him and well to the left but he flung himself and got his palms under the ball. The Sri Lankan openers are back in the hut. The old firm of Sanga and Mahela are in. 36/2
View dismissal KC Sangakkara*† c Umar Akmal b Shahid Afridi 42 63 4 0 66.66
25.1 95.3 kph, Sanga falls. No it's not a tourist sight and the sparse crowd is stunned. It was floated outside off, Sanga fetched it from there and whipped it left of short midwicket. Sharp catch. The 83-run partnership is over now. 119/3
View dismissal DPMD Jayawardene lbw b Shoaib Malik 54 64 3 0 84.37
31.3 80.7 kph, Mahela has been given out lbw and he doesn't seem to be too happy with the decision. Reason? There was a bottom edge there. Hence the reaction from Mahela. It was a flighted off break around off stump and Mahela went for the reverse sweep and edged it to his pad. A fine innings but it's over now. Vital moment this. 150 for 4. The game could tilt either way now. Will Pakistan get ahead or will Sri Lanka move on? 150/4
View dismissal TT Samaraweera c Umar Akmal b Abdul Razzaq 17 22 0 0 77.27
32.1 128.2 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              0 0 77.27 32.1 128.2      end_of_the_skype_highlighting kph, And Pakistan get ahead with another strike. Soft dismissal. Samaraweera is angry with himself and crashes his bat on his pad as he walks off. It was a full delivery well outside off and Samaraweera square drove it straight to backward point. The bottom-hand came of the handle on point of impact and he couldn't control the shot. He ended up slicing it 150/5
AD Mathews not out 55 61 4 0 90.16

View dismissal CK Kapugedera c Umar Akmal b Shoaib Akhtar 2 6 0 0 33.33
34.6 143.0 kph, Again Shoaib smiles gently. He spreads his arms and walks slowly towards his team-mates. It was delivered from a short run-up, a short delivery outside off and the batsman went for the cut shot. The ball flew quickly and slightly low to backward point where it was swallowed on the rebound. The ball popped out but the fielder dived forward to secure it. The catching has been pretty good today. Sri Lanka slid further. That Mahela wicket was indeed the turning point 160/6
View dismissal MF Maharoof c †Kamran Akmal b Shoaib Akhtar 1 3 0 0 33.33
36.5 139.9 kph, That smile again. That gentle jog again. No wild celebrations. The left hand slowly goes up and a smile creases his face. It was a length delivery that straightened outside off stump, Maharoof, who had left the previous delivery alone, had a poke at this one. Mistake. Gone! 168/7
View dismissal KMDN Kulasekara b Mohammad Aamer 14 27 0 0 51.85
45.6 139.5 kph, Yorked! Kula took a step out and to the on side and went for the big hit but missed. Timber! He ended up yorking himself by moving forward there. 211/8
View dismissal SL Malinga b Mohammad Aamer 16 12 1 1 133.33
49.4 122.7 kph, moves outside leg and is cleaned up by the slower one. He had a slog and a miss. Quite a handy contribution from Malinga; could prove very vital in the end 239/9

View dismissal Shahzaib Hasan c Malinga b Mathews 11 33 1 0 33.33
13.2 128.0 kph, Shahzaib combusts. It was a short-of-length delivery cutting into him and Shahzaib tries to slog it over mid-on but makes contact with the top half of the bat due to the bounce. The ball lobs gently towards mid-on. It was a very struggling innings and it's over now. 32/4
View dismissal Salman Butt b Malinga 0 3 0 0 0.00
1.3 142.3 kph, Hasta la vista baby! Full, pacy and the middle stump has been pegged back. It landed full in length, landed on the off and middle line and seamed in to go through the bat and pad gap. Clatter! Butt went neither forward or back and groped blindly outside the line. 0/1
View dismissal Umar Amin c †Sangakkara b Malinga 7 26 0 0 26.92
7.3 142.1 kph, Malinga follows the slower one with a bouncer that does the trick. It climbed rapidly on Umar Amin who went for the pull but was beaten by the pace.
