Colombo: Misbah-ul-Haq has finally won a toss and they will be batting first in third ODI against Sri Lanka at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Wednesday.

Pakistan have strengthened their batting too, bringing Asad Shafiq in for Rahat Ali. Premadasa was a notoriously bat-frst venue until Sri Lanka made a mockery of that reputation by winning the World Cup's quarter-final and semi-final chasing. For Sri Lanka, Weerakoon makes his debut right away, replacing Herath.

Chris Broad is officiating in his 300th international.
