    3.5 Whipped and taken at deep midwicket! This was full on the pads, pleading to be put away. Dabare picks it up and makes no effort to keep it down, but unfortunately for him only manages to get the height as deep midwicket takes the catch well inside the ropes 20/1
    5.5 Forde gets another! And Raza takes a cracker! This was full on off, and Mendis skies this attempted drive. Raza runs back from mid-off and holds on to a tough take falling over his shoulder. He ends up sprawled on the Colombo grass as his teammates swarm him. 31/3
    3.6 Gone lbw! Big appeal! Given not out, but Forde is indicating for a review even as he appeals! This swung in massively from over the wicket to strike the batter in front of the middle and off. This looked mighty close, but the umpire felt it struck the bat first. The bat and pad are indeed very close, but it's pad first. And what's more, it's three reds! 20/2
    6.1 Another one bites the dust! This is on a length on middle from Madushanka, but it straightens just enough to catch Shafiq's leading edge. The catch is a simple one that loops gently to, you guessed it, Forde at extra cover. You just can't keep him out of the game at the moment! 32/4
    13.2 But Dilum strikes straight back! Azam looks to go again, as he charges down the track. But this is a wildish heave towards cow corner that goes past his inside edge and clatters into the stumps. 63/5

    14.5 slapped straight to short extra cover! And it's the stand-in skipper Raza who takes the catch. He is pumped, as he he should be! This was a good length delivery, pushed through on off. Raza is there for the catch, and Imad can't keep this drive down. 68/6
    15.6 Gone lbw! Big appeal as this raps the batter on the front pad! Given not out, but Raza reviews. This was angled in from around the wicket, and looked to hit in front of middle. Only question is this going down leg? But ball tracking shows three reds, and Galle are sinking! 75/7
    17.1 Caught at deep backward point! This looked to be flying for a flat six at one point, but this cleanly struck cut by Riaz is swallowed by Dilum in the deep, who takes a good catch running around from deep cover point 87/8

    0.6 beautiful. Malinga-like delivery from the round-arm operator. This was full, swinging in at a lively 135kph. Daniel was trying to clip it to leg again, but managed to play around it as it swung in, snuck between bat and pad, and crashed into middle and leg stump. 5/1
    9.1 tossed up, wide of the stumps, and that's hit straight back at the bowler, who takes the catch at about knee height. That's a big blow, as Cox was settled and looking dangerous. 90/3
    2.2 gone again. Another full delivery gets another wicket. This was on the toes, and Croospulle tries to flick this over midwicket, ends up picking out the fielder instead, who takes it at a comfortable head height. Aura unraveling early 11/2
    10.4 full, wide of the off stump, and Forde runs a second without waiting for Raza to respond, and he's run out. Raza never responded, and and Forde charged ahead nevertheless, both batters ending up at the striker's end. 105/4
    10.6 flat again, on the stumps. Raza tries to hammer this over long on, but doesn't get the timing, and hits it to the fielder down there instead. It's the end of an ordinary tournament for him. 111/5

    12.5 flat through the air again, and he pounds this straight to long on. Aura lose another, though the bite has gone out of this contest for sure 122/6
