With Sri Lanka reeling at 70/5, the match is delicately poised.

PAK vs SL Scorecard Live: Two in Two- Talat on a Hat-Trick!
What a turnaround from Hussain Talat! He picks up two wickets in two balls, and now Sri Lanka are five down!

SL: 52/5 (6.4)
PAK vs SL Score: Asalanka Falls!!!
Hussain Talat joins the wicket column, and it’s a big one -the Sri Lankan captain is gone! Talat bangs it in short, and Asalanka goes for the pull, but does not get the connection he wanted. Haris Rauf takes a safe catch in the deep, and Pakistan continue to apply pressure.
SL: 52/4 (6.3)
PAK vs SL Scorecard: Chance… But Just Short! Asalanka Survives😱
Salman Agha floats one up and Asalanka looks to slog it over deep mid-wicket. It is not middled and drops just in front of the fielder charging in from the deep.

PAK vs SL Live Updates: Wicket!!!
Shaheen Afridi shows his class once again, concedes a six, then comes back with a wicket on the very next ball! He bowls a length delivery outside off with a hint of away movement. Nissanka, trying to go big again, swings across the line but only manages a thick outside edge. Mohammad Haris behind the stumps makes no mistake.

PAK vs SL Live Updates: Pitch Report From Abu Dhabi
Pitch Report by Urooj Mumtaz and Simon Doull: "This is a ground that has yielded runs. 170 is the average score, but 183 is the average winning score. Really nice grass covering. The pitch looks hard. The ball will come on nicely. But there will be some movement early on. Don't think there will be much spin. The boundaries are pretty big and even. There is a little bit of breeze as well. The humidity around means that the ball might nip a bit for the first 4-5 overs. Keep a slip in place and bowl Test match lengths. But it is a good chasing wicket."
