    13.2 fifty and out! Back of a length and outside off, Chandimal takes it from there and slogs it into the lap of midwicket. Chandi hit that hard but placement deserted him... Target practice 89/3

    9.1 and he breaks the strong opening stand! Short ball just a shade outside off, Dilshan shapes to pull. He fetches it from there and mis-hits it to deep midwicket. Dilshan never really found his rhythm 68/1

    11.1 Siri has been bounced out too. Dug in short and cramping Siri for room. He looks to pull and miscues it to deep midwicket, the fielder moves to his right to snap it up. Two in two overs for Amjad. Can UAE build on this? 79/2

    16.1 Sri Lanka five down, Rohan wheels away in celebration. Non-turning ball, fired in, Mathews can't connect with an ambitious reverse sweep. He is hit on the pad in front of the leg stump 105/5

    17.3 Jayasuriya aims for an encore and fails. A touch fuller on middle, he shuffles across for a lap-scoop again. He misses. Naveed knocks the middle stump back. SL losing wickets in a heap 113/6

    19.1 Shahzad has a sheepish little smile on his face. Off-stump full toss, heaved straight to deep midwicket. That should have been heaved over him; it was the shorter part of the ground as well. It has been that kind of a day for SL. Replays confirm the full toss was below the waistline and Kapu has to go 123/7

    19.6 and the innings ends with a wicket. Slower bouncer outside off, Kula wants to swipe over midwicket. He can't get on top of the bounce. He skies a top edge, this is caught by the keeper 129/8

    0.1 Malinga strikes first ball! Nice and full, swings in, close to 140ks, to rap the pad in front. It would have taken out the leg stump 0/1

    3.2 Kula gets Kaleem now. Length ball on off, Kaleem wants to go over mid-off. He can only miscue it to the fielder. Malinga and Kula have tipped the scales in SL's favour. Mathews catches it around chest height 14/3

    0.6 double-blow from Malinga. This was a little over 20ks slower than the first ball. 113.7ks, in fact. Shahzad has a leaden-footed drive at it. The ball slithers under the bat to hit the off stump. Shahzad was through with the shot. Malinga is back at work. There is that roar! 7/2
    Muhammad Usman

    3.5 Kula gets another. Usman dances out for a leg-side slog. He can only send a thick edge to slip around head height. Good catch from Kapu, but poor shot selection on the part of Usman. The chase is in tatters at 16 for 4 16/4

    16.3 Malinga's slower ball does the trick, again. Short and around off at 117.7ks, Patil looks to go over midwicket. He can only lob it in the air off the leading edge. Malinga follows the ball, runs to his left, and takes it near the short-cover region 85/7

    9.5 flighted and full outside off, Haider attempts a big slog. He can only sky a catch to Chandimal off a big top edge. UAE are falling away quickly. Two each for Malinga, Kula, and Herath. Chandimal took a few paces forward to take it in front of the batsman 47/6
