"Malinga is someone the Sri Lankans were banking on a lot for the big games, if perhaps not Canada, Kenya or Zimbabwe. But Thisara Perera hasn't let the side down, so it'll be interesting to see how well he performs."

"Perera is more of a bowling all-rounder, they've used him up the order as a pinch-hitter quite successfully. But I think you can't afford to give the batsmen any width on this wicket."

"I think Sri Lanka need to make a change here as Perera is struggling with his line."

"Pakistan will be pleased with this start, but what they want to do is consolidate, keep rotating the strike and set themselves up for later in the innings as the ball gets softer."

BBC Test Match Special's Kevin Howells


"I'll never forget Younus Khan after he led Pakistan to victory in the World Twenty20 at Lord's in 2009 - he gave one of the most heartfelt post-match press conferences I've ever seen, as he pleaded with the cricket world not to forget Pakistan and keep them in international cricket, despite their problems. He was nearly tearful."
