| Khurram Manzoor | c Jayawardene b Vaas | 93 | 263 | 197 | 10 | 0 | 47.20 |
| 60.5 gone! Sri Lanka have struck! Manzoor is absolutely distraught as he pokes at a full delivery outside off that leaves him at the last moment, it produces the outside edge and Jayawardene does the rest, taking a good low catch at first slip 203/3
|
| Fawad Alam | c †Dilshan b Thushara | 16 | 51 | 29 | 1 | 0 | 55.17 |
| 11.2 gone! Shot away from a good length just outside off, moved away just as he prodded at it from the crease, got a thin edge straight through to Dilshan 34/1

| 63.3 from Thushara, run out, pushes it wide of mid-off to get a quick single and reaches his 7000th run, there's an overthrow towards deep square leg but there's plenty of hesitation out in the middle for the second run, Misbah is already halfway down the pitch and Yousuf has covered too much ground at the other end to make it back for the second run in time, an accurate throw to the keeper and Dilshan clips the bails to find him miles short 210/4
|
| Misbah-ul-Haq | c †Dilshan b Kulasekara | 27 | 115 | 62 | 1 | 0 | 43.54 |

| 87.2 Timber! Short outside off, the pull was on, Akmal went for it, trying to strike it in the direction of midwicket, got an inside edge straight into off stump, absolutely no resistance this morning from Pakistan 289/9
|
| Umar Gul | b Kulasekara | 2 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 50.00 |
| 84.6 here we go again! A hint of inward movement, but its a little too wide, Gul drives at it lethargically from the crease with little foot movement, gets the inside edge straight onto the stumps 287/7
|
| Danish Kaneria | lbw b Kulasekara | 1 | 6 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 12.50 |
| 86.3 trapped in front! An outrageous shot from the batsman, darted back in from a good length outside off, Kaneria had a wild swing at it, hoping to clear midwicket, missed and was rapped in front of middle. Taufel had no doubt about that one, Sri Lanka have struck early 289/8
|
| Mohammad Aamer | not out | 2 | 15 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 22.22 |

| BSM Warnapura | b Umar Gul | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
| 0.1 gone first ball! Warnapura has been cleaned up. Full on the off stump, a hint of inward movement, Warnapura steps out to drive that across the line through midwicket, audacious shot first up, he misses and the stumps are pegged back 0/1
|
| NT Paranavitana | b Younis Khan | 5 | 33 | 19 | 0 | 0 | 26.31 |

| 23.3 bowled'im! The conventional offspinner, but turned in prodigiously, taking Samaraweera by surprise, short on the off stump and ripped back in, he got onto the back foot totally unprepared to handle the turn and was bowled through the gate.

|
| AD Mathews | c Misbah-ul-Haq b Danish Kaneria | 31 | 82 | 53 | 4 | 0 | 58.49 |

| 44.4 to Paranavitana, they've broken through! A wicket against the run of play with the way these two were going, bowled it slightly flatter and straight onto the pads, Paranavitana got forward and tried to work it square but did so a little uppishly and Alam was alert at short leg to snap a sharp one 139/2

| 25.2 to Warnapura, he's given him! Gould raises his finger immediately after Warnapura got front and across and tried to turn it fine, it clipped his pads and went through to Malik at leg slip. There didn't appear to be any contact with the bat there, the appeal was spontaneous and the umpire answered in the affirmative. Tough call. Clipped the back of the pads, and Malik took it really low down. 83/1
50.1 to Jayawardene, edged and gone! Tossed it up outside off and Mahela was drawn forward to defend, it turned away to produce a thick outside edge which crashed into Akmal''s gloves, popped out only for him to dive to his right and take it on the second attempt 155/3
