1:42Kamindu Mendis survives Pakistan's lbw review against Arafat Minhas.
3:36Agha Salman reacts quickly to catch Kusal Mendis off his own bowling.
4:46Kamindu Mendis clears the boundary to reach his maiden ODI century.
8:12Dasun Shanaka launches a huge six off Shaheen Shah Afridi.
13:00The final delivery brings frantic running; the short-run decision and closing score follow.

Kamindu Mendis doesn't nudge his way to the milestone. He clears the boundary, bringing up his maiden ODI century in a final, with Sri Lanka's coaches and supporters applauding from beyond the rope.

That moment anchors Sports TV's first-innings highlights from the tri-series decider at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The upload has drawn about 1.3 million views since yesterday, offering the other half of the final we covered here earlier: how Sri Lanka set up the demanding chase that Fakhar Zaman would help Pakistan negotiate.

Mendis survives an early lbw review against Arafat Minhas, then builds an innings that lasts until Shaheen Shah Afridi traps him in front. Around him, Pakistan produce some sharp interventions. Agha Salman catches a fierce return shot from Kusal Mendis off his own bowling, barely giving himself time to react.

Sri Lanka still have acceleration available. Dasun Shanaka sends Afridi high over the boundary, while Pavan Rathnayake contributes a half-century before Babar Azam catches him off Haris Rauf.

The finish is less tidy than the century celebration: hurried running on the final delivery brings a short-run call. Sri Lanka close on 325 for eight, with Pakistan's late wickets having contained, rather than erased, the work Mendis had done.
