    2.5 TIMBER! Through Dickwella and there was nothing he could do. Length ball that lands on off and middle and shapes back into Dickwella who attempts an ugly heave, misses and sees his leg stump knocked back. Madushan strikes for Jaffna 23/1
    5.2 Hales' middle stump is pegged back! Length ball, on off stump and seams back into Hales. He looks for a cross-batted hoick, misses and sees his stumps in a mess. That is an important strike for Jaffna 45/2

    13.5 got him. Dangles it away from his hitting arc this time, gets a bit of away-drift, and Rajapaksa reaches out to try and hit over the off side. Ends up slicing a simple catch to backward point 114/3
    16.6 back of a length, pitches around leg stump and nips away to exaggerate the angle across. Was looking to scoop over short fine, but ends up gloving it loopily to the keeper 151/4
    19.5 in the blockhole outside off, good ball, denies elevation, and Seifert gets to his century with a drive along the ground to long-off. Looks for a second to retain the strike, and Liyanage is run-out at the bowler's end, by a long way, but the landmark has come up and Seifert keeps the strike for the last ball. Terrific innings after a slow start 183/5

    2.6 Spooned straight up and Hales at mid-off takes a comfortable catch! On-pace length ball away from Nissanka's arc outside off. He swings the bat, without a lot of foot movement, gets it right of the toe end of the blade as the ball balloons up. 25/1
    5.2 Oh, wow, that's cricket isn't it. The previous ball, he gets a top edge that goes for four. This ball he nails the pull and is caught at midwicket. Short of a length ball that is absolutely nailed by Mendis only for Theekshana to take a good catch right at the edge of the circle. Mendis' face says it all 59/2
    16.3 another slower short ball that completely dies off the pitch, and it gets Galle a massive, massive wicket. The line is outside off, and he tries to set himself up to slash it over the off side, but he's so early on the shot, so off-balance, that he skews it high in the air for extra-cover to settle under 142/5
    9.6 Oh, he has pulled it straight to deep midwicket. Nonchalant back of a length ball on the stumps, he pulls, gets a decent connection but not enough power to clear Sahan Arachchige who takes a simple catch 95/3
    15.4 bowled him, Ross has played all around this full one. Floated very full and it ends up dipping below his bat as he clears his front leg and looks to swipe it down the ground 136/4
