OUT! L.B.W. Naseem Shah to Vishwa Fernando. Half volley, off stump on the back foot defending, hit pad to. The morning has barely begun but Pakistan have already wrapped up the Test match. Three wickets in as many overs with two for Naseem Shah which takes him to five overall. The youngest player to ever take that many in a Test. Full and straight did the trick for him with Vishwa not wanting to get in line against the extreme pace.A brilliant victory for Pakistan back on home soil and they deserved it after fighting back from their below-par effort with the bat on day one. To come back from a first innings deficit and win by such a margin is outstanding. Credit has to go to their batsmen in the second innings and then the bowlers to wrap up the match in style. Sri Lanka will be hurting after not being able to make their lead count but the one shining light was a maiden ton for Oshada Fernando who looks like a good find for them.That is the series wrapped up and it has been a very enjoyable one. Hopefully Pakistan fans have a lot more opportunity to see cricket back home in the future.

Came off the face of the bat as Oshada tried it run it for the single but the extra bounce meant he couldn't control the shot. Sri Lanka have crumbled this morning.

OUT! Caught. Naseem Shah to Lasith Embuldeniya. Short, down leg side ducked Fended, Gloved to wicketkeeper, by Rizwan. It's day 5 and it is likely that there is going to only be one result. Pakistan have taken full control of this match in the last couple of days and with only three more wickets remaining they are well on their way to a historic Test win. Most of the work yesterday was done by the impressive Naseem Shah and he will eyeing up a maiden Test five-wicket haul. For Sri Lanka they have to hope Oshada Fernando can continue his fantastic performance and hopefully pull off something magical.The dream start. No looseners from Naseem as he is right on the money with a sharp bouncer. Embuldeniya gets himself into an awful tangle and feathers a glove to the keeper. It needed the review but Pakistan got the result they wanted. Hat-trick ball coming up.

OUT! Caught. Naseem Shah to Dilruwan Perera. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Rizwan. Pakistan are just able to sneak in another over before stumps and one ball was all they needed. Perera drawn into feeling at a ball he could easily have left. Naseem Shah's extra pace will do that to a lot of batsmen over the years. Oshada Fernando remains unbeaten on 102 and Sri Lanka need another 264 runs to win. Pakistan are closing in on a very emotional series victory in their first series on home soil since 2009. Join us tomorrow.

OUT! Caught. Lasith Embuldeniya to Shaheen Afridi. Stock length ball, middle stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Mathews. The luck runs out next ball though as Shaheen charges down the track and launches one high into the air. Matthews takes a very good catch, running backward over his shoulder to end the innings. Sri Lanka will be delighted with their days work, after losing the toss they've worked hard and been rewarded. Pakistan will be disappointed with their effort though, 6 wickets lost to bowled/lbw dismissals and the last 6 wickets falling for just 24 runs.

Start of Pakistan Innings. Hello and welcome to the start of the second Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. After a soggy affair in Rawlpindi the two teams move on to Karachi in the hope of better weather and better fortune. In times gone by Pakistan have had a tremendous record at the National Stadium and they'll be looking to replicate that on their return to the venue. The report from the pitch is that there is some live grass on the surface and there might be early help for the seamers, something which has been traditional in Karachi pitches of years gone by. The hosts have won the toss and will bat, it's all setup nicely for a good encounter.

OUT! Bowled. Shaheen Afridi to Lahiru Kumara. Seaming away length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, missed to. That will end the innings. Shaheen goes back to aiming at top of off stump and hits his target. Sri Lanka are all out for 271 but they have got a very handy lead of 80 runs. Dinesh Chandimal was the stand-out batsmen with 74 while Dilruwan Perera played a gem for his 48. With the new ball nipping around and the light slowly fading this will be a tricky period for the openers. A good start for Pakistan is crucial.

This is something you will never see in Test cricket again. The tailender looking to slog-sweep a pace bowler but sending an edge straight to second slip. The two previous bouncers worked wonders and unsettled Embuldeniya, making him play a strange shot.

Naseem Shah to Lasith Embuldeniya. Seaming in length ball, outside off stump on the back foot Leave, Left to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Rizwan. Plenty of wickets fell yesterday as both the spinners and seamers found something in the surface. Pakistan's total of 191 didn't look great but the three late scalps they took late on has brought them back into the game. A couple more this morning and they will be well and truly on top. Lots of work for the experienced Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal to do and Sri Lanka will be backing both of them to score big. This morning session is going to be crucial.

The end of a very good days Test cricket, where Sri Lanka will feel the happier of the two sides. After being made to bowl first a strong effort saw them bowl out the hosts for under 200. 3 wickets in the final session have kept Pakistan in touch, but it will be an important morning session on a wicket that still has plenty in it for both batsmen and bowlers.

To say it's been Pakistan's day is to endulge in understatement. They have added 338 runs for the loss of only two wickets. Shan Masood and Abid Ali made big hundreds and shared a partnership of 278. Azhar Ali is unbeaten on 57 which is a welcome return to form. They are 315 runs ahead and Sri Lankan have a mountain to climb with two days left in the contest. They can take heart though that the track is very good for batting and they will need to show some steely resolve to not lose this match. Join us again tomorrow.

OUT! L.B.W. Naseem Shah to Vishwa Fernando. Half volley, off stump on the back foot defending, hit pad to. The morning has barely begun but Pakistan have already wrapped up the Test match. Three wickets in as many overs with two for Naseem Shah which takes him to five overall. The youngest player to ever take that many in a Test. Full and straight did the trick for him with Vishwa not wanting to get in line against the extreme pace.A brilliant victory for Pakistan back on home soil and they deserved it after fighting back from their below-par effort with the bat on day one. To come back from a first innings deficit and win by such a margin is outstanding. Credit has to go to their batsmen in the second innings and then the bowlers to wrap up the match in style. Sri Lanka will be hurting after not being able to make their lead count but the one shining light was a maiden ton for Oshada Fernando who looks like a good find for them.That is the series wrapped up and it has been a very enjoyable one. Hopefully Pakistan fans have a lot more opportunity to see cricket back home in the future.

OUT! Caught. Naseem Shah to Lasith Embuldeniya. Short, down leg side ducked Fended, Gloved to wicketkeeper, by Rizwan. It's day 5 and it is likely that there is going to only be one result. Pakistan have taken full control of this match in the last couple of days and with only three more wickets remaining they are well on their way to a historic Test win. Most of the work yesterday was done by the impressive Naseem Shah and he will eyeing up a maiden Test five-wicket haul. For Sri Lanka they have to hope Oshada Fernando can continue his fantastic performance and hopefully pull off something magical.The dream start. No looseners from Naseem as he is right on the money with a sharp bouncer. Embuldeniya gets himself into an awful tangle and feathers a glove to the keeper. It needed the review but Pakistan got the result they wanted. Hat-trick ball coming up.

OUT! Caught. Naseem Shah to Dilruwan Perera. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Rizwan. Pakistan are just able to sneak in another over before stumps and one ball was all they needed. Perera drawn into feeling at a ball he could easily have left. Naseem Shah's extra pace will do that to a lot of batsmen over the years. Oshada Fernando remains unbeaten on 102 and Sri Lanka need another 264 runs to win. Pakistan are closing in on a very emotional series victory in their first series on home soil since 2009. Join us tomorrow.
