Pakistan pulled off a Cricket World Cup-record run chase of 345 to beat Sri Lanka in Hyderabad and make it two wins from two to start the tournament.
Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique starred with the bat for Pakistan, the former hitting the winning runs with 10 balls to spare to better Ireland's previous record of 329 to beat England in 2011. Sri Lanka, conversely, have lost both of their opening matches after they were heavily beaten by South Africa in the tournament opener.
In reply, Pakistan slipped to 37-2 inside eight overs as they lost Imam-ul-Haq and captain Babar Azam cheaply - both accounted for by Dilshan Madushanka . But that only brought Shafique and Rizwan together at the crease, with the pair promptly putting on 176 together for the third wicket, with Shafique going through to a maiden ODI hundred in just his fifth match.
