9.5 Dabare bites the dust! Flighted nicely on a full length on middle and leg stump. Dabare comes down the track but it looks like he is deceived in the air. In the end, he has a poke at it and pops it straight back to the bowler. The spinners are at it in Pallekele again! 81/2

8.2 edged and taken! Length delivery outside off stump that goes through with the arm. Mendis has a half-hearted and loose waft at it and only ends up feathering it through to the keeper! 75/1

12.3 Azam perishes! Slowed up beautifully on a length on middle and off stump, and Azam's eyes light up. He looks to tonk it into next week but is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. The ball spins away a shade too, meaning that Azam slices it tamely to long off, where Lakmal does the rest! 98/3

13.6 goes clean through with an absolute ripper! Slowed up a touch on a length on middle and leg stump. The ball grips in the surface and almost turns square. Iftikhar has no clue about it and dangles his bat, more in hope. But to no avail. The ball breezes past the bat and crashes into the top of off stump! 111/4

18.6 wicket to end the over! Dug into the track outside off stump and this one climbs onto Nuwanidu a lot quicker than he expects. He swipes at it anyway but only ends up arrowing it straight to deep mid wicket 161/5

19.4 oh dear! Imad would not want to see that dismissal again! Slower delivery that ends up as a juicy full toss outside off stump. Imad could have hit it anywhere, even into the ocean if he wanted to. But because he has pre-meditated the reverse lap, he offers simple catching practice to short third man 169/6

4.2 what a catch, my word! Length delivery outside off stump that holds in the surface. Mathews looks to go over mid on again but does not get the timing right. He toe-ends it towards mid on, where the fielder runs back and then completes a sensational diving catch! 31/1

5.4 huge appeal, and given, after a bit of a delay! Length delivery that seems to pitch just outside leg stump before skidding through. Janat is caught on the crease and plays all over it as the ball strikes him on the pads. The ball then deflects and nestles into Azam's gloves too. So, both dismissals could be in play here! And, in fact, there is a slight spike as the ball is near the inside edge. The third umpire initially instructs the on-field umpire to change his decision before realising that Azam caught the nick clearly. Janat has to walk back to the shed! 32/2

6.3 knocks him over! Back of a length delivery darted into the batter on off stump. Paranavithana is stuck on the crease and then has a waft at it. By then, though, it is too late as the ball pitches and fizzes past his half-hearted attempt, and smashes into the stumps 37/3

8.2 soft dismissal! Iftikhar has another! Tossed up deliciously on a full length on middle and leg stump. Asalanka thinks he has gotten to the pitch of the ball, only to see it drop devilishly in front of him. He closes the bat face early and the ball loops off the leading edge towards short extra cover, where Mendis does the rest. The Stars are in a lot of trouble now! 47/4

19.4 finds the fielder at long on! Rising short delivery outside off stump and this one gets big on Bopara. He tries to muscle it over long on but because the ball has hit the higher part of the bat, he perishes to long on 145/7

17.4 edged and taken! Very full delivery just outside off stump. Chandimal opens up his stance and swings for the hills. He loses his shape this time, though, and gets a thick outside edge that is snaffled up by Imad at short third man. Is that the final nail in the Stars' coffin? 125/5

18.6 holes out to long off! Full delivery just outside off stump and Drakes looks to smash that one over long off. He lays back in his crease, though, and that means he can't generate enough power. The ball pings off the lower half of the bat and the fielder at long off does the rest! 135/6
