Pakistan score 247 for 7

Pakistan got most things right in their effort to cast aside the memory of their batting debacle in the previous ODI, putting up 247, a score Misbah-ul-Haq, at the toss, believed was competitive on this Premadasa track.

Down 1-2 in this series, Pakistan's batsmen made amends for their dramatic collapse on Saturday with a collective display, led by Imran Farhat's fluent half-century at the start, solid batting from Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq and a typically attacking knock from Umar Akmal in the latter stages that gave his team a strong chance of drawing level.  (Source: Crickinfo)
