Sohail Tanvir retained for Sri Lanka ODIs
Pakistan fast bowler Sohail Tanvir has been retained for the ODIs in Sri Lanka and will replace the injured opening batsman Nasir Jamshed in the squad. Tanvir impressed in the two Twenty20s in Hambantota, bowling economically and taking four wickets. He also picked up the Man-of-the-Series award.

On the request of team management, chief selector Iqbal Qasim in consultation with the National Selection Committee has recommended the inclusion of Tanvir in the ODI Squad for the series. The chairman of the PCB has approved the replacement.

"In view of the request from the team management and keeping in consideration the current form of Sohail Tanvir, the selection committee has decided that he may be retained for the ODIs in Sri Lanka." Qasim said.

Jamshed, who was originally named in the ODI and T20 squads, was ruled out before the team left for Sri Lanka due to a fractured left index finger. The PCB hadn't named a replacement back then.

Tanvir, who was named only in the Twenty20 squad for the current tour, last represented Pakistan in ODIs during the tour of Bangladesh in December 2011 where he played two matches but failed to pick up a wicket. He will miss at least the first two matches of this season's Friends Life t20 after signing up with English county Worcestershire.

The five-match ODI series starts on June 7 in Pallekele.

Pehla catch drop ker dia Hafeez ney

[DexteR]

OUT!!!

Umar Gul to Dilshan, OUT, Dilshan can keep his appointment. This is the fifth or sixth attempt he has tried to get out. This time he succeeds, though. Short of a length, on the stumps, Dilshan stays in the crease, and wants to send it to Kandy. Nowhere near the pitch of it, and expectedly skies it up for Ajmal at midwicket. As I said, Twenty20s are over

TM Dilshan c Saeed Ajmal b Umar Gul 5 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 55.55

Wicket Number 2.

6.1
Umar Gul to Jayawardene, OUT, No need for replays here. Jayawardene is gone lbw. Gul has been bowling this one-off inducker every over. This one starts around the sixth-stump line, beats Jayawardene's inside edge, and hits him in front of middle and leg. No forward stride, so hardly any way for the ball to travel. Would have hit leg stump

DPMD Jayawardene lbw b Umar Gul 3 (20b 0x4 0x6) SR: 15.00

End of over 8 (1 run) Sri Lanka 18/2 (RR: 2.25)

Umar Gul to Chandimal, OUT

LD Chandimal b Umar Gul 0 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

[DexteR]

Out tha saaf. Blind Umpire!!

Umar Gul to Tharanga, no run, and he is gone first ball. Wait he is not. Oh he is not given. Thick inside edge onto the thigh pad, and caught by Sarfraz, but not given

12.4
Mohammad Sami to Sangakkara, OUT

KC Sangakkara lbw b Mohammad Sami 9 (31b 1x4 0x6) SR: 29.03

[DexteR]

Wicket Number FIVE!!!
41/5

14.3
Mohammad Sami to Mathews, OUT, Sami is on fire here. Good outswinger. Full delivery, on off, holds its line, Mathews plays a loose drive from the back foot, edges it low and flat, and Misbah collects it clean as a whistle at first slip

AD Mathews c Misbah-ul-Haq b Mohammad Sami 0 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
