Perera to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, dropped at mid-off. Could have added to the drama. It was full , drilled hard to Kulasekara, who grabbed at it, bobbled out as they completed the run. Looked like Kula was confused for a split second, went Aussie style and burst out of his hand to nearly hit him on the face

Kulasekara to Umar Akmal, OUT, outstanding, simply wow. This was a flat hit over the infield, Thisara, at wide long-off, started running almost as soon as Akmal made contact, it was a flat hit and Thisara simply threw his hands up as he moved to his right, did well to hold on even as the momentum threatened to knock him back. He slid over, showed excellent balance. Superb athleticism.
