Herath to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, he gets away this time, and adds four more to the tally, it was the straighter one, and he was done in, but an inside edge saves him, and escapes fine down the leg side

Herath to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, and again, just past mid off’s dive this time, stepping out, moving inside the line and carting it with the spin

Herath to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, he has been trying to do this through this over, and finally succeeds, down the pitch to a flighted ball, and forces it straight over the bowler
Emphatic 10-wicket victory. Well done Pakistan well done in particular to Yasir, Sarfraz, Asad and Wahab, the main architects of this big win. The twin 100-run partnerships first between Asad and Sarfraz and then b/w Asad and Babar set up this unlikely victory.
Hafeez and Shehzad have a stump each in hand as they walk back. Pakistan have won this in basically three-and-a-half days, their first win in Sri Lanka since 2006. They also go past India for the most number of wins by an Asian nation - 123 in 390 Tests to their neighbours’ 122 in 488.
