Usman Tariq continues... big appeal for caught behind first up, but the umpire isn't interested. The batters rotate strike with a couple of singles. Oh dear! It sneaks through the keeper's legs and races away to the boundary for four. That's sloppy. A single to finish the over. 10 runs off it. Sri Lanka 85/3 after 10 overs.
At the halfway mark, Pakistan have 62 runs to play with in their qualification equation.
Abrar Ahmed continues' Rathnayake flicks to midwicket for a single. Mendis nearly misses the next but manages to squeeze out a run. Boom! Rathnayake launches a massive six -- clean strike, right out of the middle. He follows it up with a single. Mendis pushes one back to the bowler. Mendis OUT -- Bowled! Abrar does it again! Beats him through the gate and crashes into the stumps. Mendis departs for 3 off 6 balls.
Whenever Sri Lanka try to build a partnership, Abrar steps in and breaks it. That's his third wicket tonight. 9 runs and a wicket from the over.
Sri Lanka 94/4 after 11 overs.
