19.6

Shaheen Afridi to Dasun Shanaka, no run, that's it. Pakistan win. But Dasun Shanaka almost pulled off the miracle off miracles. The last two balls were fine bowling. Especially this. Shanaka doesn't move much in his crease, this is bang on the tramline on the off-side, low full-toss and Shanaka leaves it. There's no signal from the ump and then Shaheen Afridi comes to shake hands with Shanaka. Pakistan are knocked out but end with a win. Replays are in and I have another look at that ball, it was such a close call – touch and go and another ump on another day would've signalled a wide. That's how some decisions go

19.5

Shaheen Afridi to Dasun Shanaka, no run, Dasun Shanaka tries a cute reverse-scoop and misses. Wants a wide. But gets nothing. It's a low full-toss and angling away from the right-hander outside off, slight tail away, Shanaka could've tried to hit that through cover, instead he shuffles across and is set for the scoop, but sees the line and tries to reverse-scoop, misses, definitely not a wide. Replays show that Shanaka shuffled across and that's why the ump's call of not a wide is the right one. Had he been in his original batting stance, that was a wide as it was wide of the tramline

19.4

Shaheen Afridi to Dasun Shanaka, SIX, Dasun Shanakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What a hero. Hat-trick of sixes. Again a half-volley and in the slot on off, Shanaka stays back, gets forward and clobbers the loft, sliced it off the open-face but all the way over sweeper cover. When it hit the bat, it was six all the way. Pressure on Shaheen Afridi and Pakistan. Crowd giving Sri Lanka so much boost

19.3

Shaheen Afridi to Dasun Shanaka, SIX, my word! What a shot. What do we have here. The crowd and Mark Howard on air going mental. This is insane stuff. A short of length delivery on middle, Dasun Shanaka backs away slightly and heaves, lots of height and the distance too, flies over deep square-leg. Agha chats with Shaheen Afridi who shakes his head. Replays show that it was the slower-ball into the wicket that Shaheen tried. Shanaka and Wellalage with a glove-tap

19.2

Shaheen Afridi to Dasun Shanaka, SIX, Sri Lanka are still in this. This is a half-volley outside off, Dasun Shanaka gets forward and smashes the loft way back at sweeper cover. What a hit under pressure. Shaheen Afridi didn't get it in the yorker length area and Shanaka pounced. Again what power. The crowd losing their marbles here. The face was open and it's carved away
