- BATSMENRB4s6sSR17.4 gone this time! Full and slanted across the batter outside off stump. Daniel looks to carve it over extra cover but ends up slicing it badly. The ball goes miles up towards deep cover point, where the fielder settles himself and completes the catch. What an innings this has been, though! 163/118.6 holes out to deep mid wicket! Dipping low full toss on middle and leg stump. Cox has a mighty mow at it but only ends up chalking it towards deep mid wicket, where the fielder does the rest! 167/219.3 Shanaka departs! Very full delivery outside off stump. Shanaka opens the bat face and tries to get it past short third man but only ends up guiding it straight to the fielder in the circle! 177/319.6 and another wicket falls! Full delivery pushed across the batter outside off stump. Rajapaksa tries to access the off side but slices his attempted lofted extra cover drive straight to deep cover point 178/519.5 has he been run out? Looks like it! Back of a length delivery on leg stump. Raza chips it straight to short fine leg. But because this is a Free hit, he can't be out caught. In the meantime, he hesitates before eventually deciding to go for the single. By then, though, it is too late and Raza is well short of his ground at the bowler's end 178/4Extras9 (b 4, lb 2, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL178/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-163 (Shevon Daniel, 17.4 ov), 2-167 (Jordan Cox, 18.6 ov), 3-177 (Dasun Shanaka, 19.3 ov), 4-178 (Sikandar Raza, 19.5 ov), 5-178 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 holes out to deep mid wicket! Length delivery just outside off stump, and Dabare, without having a look at Madushan, decides to go big straightaway. He chalks it badly and the ball swirls towards deep mid wicket, where the fielder judges the catch to perfection and completes it smartly! 5/20.5 oh dear, he chips it straight to mid off! Full delivery just outside off stump. Mendis comes forward tentatively, which could be a result of the injury he is nursing. He has a half-hearted swing at it and toe-ends it straight to mid off. Massive moment in the game! 5/111.5 edged and taken! What a catch by Cox! Oh my word! Another off-pace delivery on a length outside off stump. Udara throws his hands at it and gets a thick outside edge. The lack of pace means that the ball floats to Cox's right, who flings out his right mitt and grabs it one-handed! What a way to break open this game again! 89/55.1 Madushan has another! Back of a length delivery on off stump that rises sharply. Shafiq has a flat-batted heave at it but is awfully late on the stroke. In the end, he splices it straight to mid off, where Shanaka does well to avoid the fielder at mid on and complete the catch 46/35.6 oh dear, that is not great cricket! Low full toss on middle and off stump. Nuwanidu drives it towards mid off and sets off for the single. His partner, though, is not interested at all. Shanaka gathers cleanly and fires a relatively accurate throw at the batter's end, catching Nuwanidu a yard short of his ground! 52/415.1 Iftikhar bites the dust! Slanted into the batter, and this back of a length delivery gets onto Iftikhar a lot quicker than he expects. He has a massive swipe at it and shanks it straight down deep mid wicket's throat. Raza can't believe his luck, and that is another nail hammered into Galle's coffin for today! 114/813.1 and he cleans up Imad! Googly on a full length on middle and off stump. Imad shuffles across early, looks for the paddle but gets into an awful tangle. In the end, he can't access the ball as it breezes past the bat and smashes into the stumps! 93/614.3 edged and taken! Back of a length delivery just outside off stump. Wahab tries to be a little too cute and looks for a fine cut. This time, though, he is late on the stroke, meaning that he feathers it through to the keeper. Dambulla keep chipping away! 106/719.4 knocks him over, and Dambulla win for the first time this season! Excellent yorker on middle and leg stump. Sandakan has a swing at it but is awfully late on the stroke. The ball breezes past his bat and clatters into the stumps! 130/1018.2 straight to deep mid wicket! Short delivery outside off stump and Pradeep could have hit that almost anywhere. Instead, he hits it straight down deep mid wicket's throat, and Raza is not complaining! This is the second wicket he has gotten with such a delivery today! 126/9Extras9 (b 1, lb 4, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL130 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.61)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Kusal Mendis, 0.5 ov), 2-5 (Thanuka Dabare, 1.1 ov), 3-46 (Asad Shafiq, 5.1 ov), 4-52 (Nuwanidu Fernando, 5.6 ov), 5-89 (Lahiru Udara, 11.5 ov), 6-93 (Imad Wasim, 13.1 ov), 7-106 (Wahab Riaz, 14.3 ov), 8-114 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 15.1 ov), 9-126 (Nuwan Pradeep, 18.2 ov), 10-130 (Lakshan Sandakan, 19.4 ov)
