FOUR! Greeted with a crisp punch! Back of a length, outside off, Sahibzada Farhan hangs back, lets the ball arrive and punches it into the gap through cover and mid off for a cracking boundary. Farhan moves to 40.
A quiet over from Theekshana. Just 3 runs from it. Dasun Shanaka is introduced into the attack now.
Darts in a yorker on middle, Farhan shovels it out and flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
Comes from around the wicket. It is a length ball around the off stump at 94.9 kph. Sadaqat leans into a drive and sends it to the right of Theekshana, who dives and gets a hand to it, but can only manage a half stop. The batters hurry through for a quick single.
Full and flat, on off, Farhan drives it down to long off for an easy single.
Similar delivery, full and turning away. Farhan gets a leading edge and the ball is sliced along the ground to cover.
Spins away, full on off, Farhan looks to flick it to the leg side, but gets a slight leading edge and the ball rolls to the off side.
Short of a length at the off stump. Tucked away to the left of deep mid-wicket for a brace.
What a Powerplay this has been for Pakistan. 32 runs in the last 2 overs and they have galloped to 70/1. Sadaqat is already up and running with a couple of fine hits. Maheesh Theekshana is into the attack as the field spreads. Sri Lanka desperately need another wicket here to slow things down.
FOUR! Despite losing a wicket, the guns are just stopping. Eshan Malinga bends his back and offers a good bouncer, over off. Maaz Sadaqat gets on his toes, arches backward and opens the face of his bat to cut it over short third for four more runs. You can just admire these kinds of shots and nothing else.
