    3.4 And Binura strikes again! It's another full delivery that's done the trick for him here and Dickwella has to go. Not quite a yorker this time and it's on a 5th stump line. Dickwella goes for the drive but gets a thick inside edge onto the stumps. 20/3
    1.6 And third time's the charm! Nails the yorker again, but this doesn't swing and it pitches just outside off, angling away. Salt stays in the crease, and looks to get low and drive this away, but he can only get an inside edge onto the stumps. 11/1
    2.6 What a catch by the skipper! This one is slightly fuller, and the line too is straighter angling into the stumps. It draws the batter into a forward defence, and the spins away sharply, taking the edge through to slip. But that's just half the job as this is play with soft hands and is dying to the right of Angelo Perera, but he dives low to his right and holds on to a stunner! 16/2
    4.6 Length on the stumps again and this is clipped to midwicket. 26/3
    10.2 And Al-Amin strikes off just his second delivery! On a length outside off, but it just holds up in the surface. Najbullah is slightly early on the drive and chips this straight to the man at mid-off. 56/4
    17.5 And this is scythed straight to the man at point! This is full outside off and after a brief chat in the middle with Mendis, Jayathilaka decides to go for it. But he doesn't get the contact he wants and his patient knock comes to an end. 105/6
    10.5 Another great catch! And the Kandy Warriors right on top here! Chamika goes for the pull, it's back of a length and there to be hit but he tries to control the hit. Unfortunately he gets a top edge and Lewis at long leg takes tough diving catch. 56/5
    19.6 And he's bowled him! Goes for the big hoick across the line, but it's the slower ball and he gets a faint inside edge onto leg stump. 130/9
    18.1 And de Lange doesn't hang around long! This is on a length and it's pace-off. De Lange goes for the big hoick over long-on but only finds Perera in the deep. 106/7
    19.1 Run out! Slower ball, length on the stumps and it's swung away towards midwicket. There's an easy one, but Mendis wants to keep the strike and they go for the suicidal second after a lot of yes, no, yes, no hesitation in the middle. Mendis dives at the keeper's end but the throw goes to the non-striker's at he's well short. 119/8

    6.5 And Tahir gets another! This is tossed up and much slower, Lewis goes to loft this over mid-off, but the leg spinner takes the batter's outside edge and backward point is given an easy catch. 41/2
    0.6 And Tahir sets off! This is the flipper and Asalanka stays back to pull this, but it's a fatal decision. The ball zips off the surface and ends up going in-between his legs to knock bag leg stump. 5/1

    10.3 Oh what's he done here? Absolutely unnecessary from Bhanuka. Goes for the paddle sweep, but it's premeditated as this ball is tossed up outside off by the off spinner. So Bhanuka is going against the spin and he only manages to get a top edge, which loops up to behind the keeper and is taken by slip moving around. 69/3
    12.1 Kamindu goes for the sweep and misses. And he's given out lbw! But there's a review after a long deliberation. No bat, and ball tracking shows that it's pitching in line, impact in line and wickets hitting. Review lost. 75/4
