- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 Top edged to mid-on! Soft dismissal, as Shafiq is rushed by this short ball. The batter goes for the pull, but only manages to loop an easy take to Mathews in the circle. 6/15.3 And Mendis' dour vigil comes to an end! Huge wicket for Colombo. This was angled away and Mendis opens the face to run it down, but only manages a faint edge through to Chandimal, who holds on well 14/26.1 Short and taken well at fine leg! Drakes drags this down and Udara goes for the pull but only manages to top edge the pull towards Lakmal at fine leg, who runs forward and takes a good catch falling forwards 16/315.2 And now he holes out! This time he can't get a hold of the leg side slog as he'd like, and can only hit straight down long-on's throat. End of a very fine innings. 94/69.3 Taken brilliantly at long-on! Nuwanidu comes down the track and looks to clear the man in the deep, but he uses every inch of the ground available and takes this just inside the ropes. 40/412.5 Top edges the slog sweep and Nabi makes this look comfortable! This was a pace-off length ball from Lakmal and Ifthikar gets on one knee and looks to slog this over deep midwicket, but only gets the height. It goes high into the Colombo sky, and Nabi rushing in from the deep takes the catch near the ring 63/517.5 But Asalanka makes up for it here! My word! This was slapped in the air down the ground and Asalanka runs to his right and takes an outstanding diving catch to his right 106/915.6 Cleans him up! A beauty from Howell! This looked to be a cross seam delivery, perhaps little slower as well, that just dipped in front of Wahab. He was thinking of sweeping a full toss, but it dipped into a fine yorker. Crashes into middle and leg. 96/716.5 chops it on! This was a slower bouncer and Sandakan, making room, is taken by surprise. He ends up swinging wildly at this and only manages an under edge on to the base of the stumps 99/8Extras6 (lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL108/9 (18 Overs, RR: 6)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Asad Shafiq, 2.1 ov), 2-14 (Kusal Mendis, 5.3 ov), 3-16 (Lahiru Udara, 6.1 ov), 4-40 (Nuwanidu Fernando, 9.3 ov), 5-63 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 12.5 ov), 6-94 (Sahan Arachchige, 15.2 ov), 7-96 (Wahab Riaz, 15.6 ov), 8-99 (Lakshan Sandakan, 16.5 ov), 9-106 (Imad Wasim, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.1 And Madushka's edgy innings comes to an end! This was tossed up on off, and Madushka goes for the slog sweep over square leg, but he can't get the distance and Sandakan takes it on the boundary line 44/32.4 Phenomenal catch! Chandimal looks to go big again on the onside but slices this straight up in the air, and my word does this go high! Nuwanidu has time for a cup of tea as he waits for this, but just as it drops he realises he's misjudged it and has to dive forward. Somehow though, he manages to hold on. 16/17.5 Direct hit and that's the breakthrough Galle badly needed! This was a length ball dropped square on the offside and Asalanka looks to steal the single. But that man Nuwanidu is once again there, as he picks this up and throws down the non-striker's stumps with a gun throw. 43/2Extras10 (b 2, lb 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL109/3 (16.5 Overs, RR: 6.47)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Dinesh Chandimal, 2.4 ov), 2-43 (Charith Asalanka, 7.5 ov), 3-44 (Nishan Madushka, 8.1 ov)
