- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.1 And Wanindu gets in on the act! Skidded through on off stump, and Salt misses the cut. Off peg goes tumbling. 39/60.4 And Theekshana strikes! The quintessential Dickwella dismissal here. Goes for the reverse sweep, and the extra bounce sees him get a top edge, looping an easy catch to short third man. 3/10.5 And it's two in two! Length ball on the stumps and this one goes away from the right hander. Maqsood does not read the turn, and looks to play this away on the onside. He can only manage a leading edge though which pops up on the offside. It all looks as if in slow motion as Theekshana dives full stretch to his left to complete the return catch. 3/22.4 And that's three for Theekshana! Length ball and Nuwanidu decides he's going to after this. He attempts the booming straight drive, but the spin from Theekshana means it catches the inside half of the blade, and the ball goes high and straight to the man at long-on running in. 9/35.2 No turn this time, and he strikes! The earlier spun and bounced from a similar length, but this one is pushed through. Shanaka goes for the cut, but he can't get the bat down in time and middle stumps is disturbed. 27/47.4 That's another for Chaturanga! Arm ball again and this skids on to Mendis's pads, who misses his attempted flick through midwicket. Swiftly reviewed though...but DRS shows, wickets are umpire's call. Review retained but Mendis has to go. 39/59.1 Oh my! How's he held on to that?! Avishka is positioned at an extremely short extra cover, and this one his short and wide and absolutely pummelled by Chamika. But Avishka on pure instinct puts both his hands up and holds on as clean as you'd like. 39/712.1 Down the track and stumped! Ratnayake gets nowhere near this. Just goes for a wild swing and misses. Tharanga behind the stumps completes a straightforward stumping. 55/814.1 And he strikes first ball! And that surely is gone. Comes down the track and goes for the old heave-ho, but it spins under the bat. Tharanga whips off the bails, and the batter is nowhere close to getting back. 69/1013.5 And that's gone! Pitches in line from around the wicket and straightens. Strikes Tahir on the front pad. He reviews but it's surely more in hope than anything else. And replays confirm, wickets hitting! Review lost. 69/9Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL69 all out (14.1 Overs, RR: 4.87)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Niroshan Dickwella, 0.4 ov), 2-3 (Sohaib Maqsood, 0.5 ov), 3-9 (Nuwanidu Fernando, 2.4 ov), 4-27 (Dasun Shanaka, 5.2 ov), 5-39 (Ramesh Mendis, 7.4 ov), 6-39 (Phil Salt, 8.1 ov), 7-39 (Chamika Karunaratne, 9.1 ov), 8-55 (Tharindu Rathnayake, 12.1 ov), 9-69 (Imran Tahir, 13.5 ov), 10-69 (Nuwan Pradeep, 14.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.4 And Tahir strikes! Caught and bowled! This is tossed up again on a length, and it holds up a touch on the surface. Tharanga goes for the big drive but hits it straight at Tahir, who reacts quickly to hold on overhead. 14/15.6 And Wanindu's cameo comes to an end! It's short and he goes for the pull, but it rushes onto him, and he can only top edge this to mid-on. 53/26.5 Bowled him! This one is fizzed through straight from Tahir. It's the flipper and TKC is too late to get his bat down, and the stumps are disturbed. 54/3Extras6 (lb 5, w 1)TOTAL71/3 (9.2 Overs, RR: 7.6)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Upul Tharanga, 2.4 ov), 2-53 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 5.6 ov), 3-54 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 6.5 ov)
