    10.3 beautifully taken by Nuwanidu Fernando on the long off boundary. That was tossed up outside off, spinning away, Gurbaz goes for a big shot but it takes the outside half of the bat and goes hiiiigh into the air. Nuwanidu keeps his cool, leans over that boundary, and takes it on one leg. There's a bit of a hop, but he's left enough space between his foot and the boundary. 87/2
    8.3 full, just wide of off, poked to point and they sprint one. Perera is in trouble at the non-striker's end though, as the fielder has picked up and thrown quickly. However, Hemantha has not gathered the throw cleanly, and it should be not out. HANG ON! The third umpire has given this out! Surely that needed more replays than the third umpire took? The ball seemed to have bounced out of Hemantha's hands, when his tricep broke the stumps. And the third ump only called for a single angle -from what I can tell - before he made his decision. Angelo Perera is stunned. Hemantha had also run off after the stray ball after breaking the stumps, by the way, which suggested that even he thought he hadn't broken the stumps with the ball in hand. 73/1
    19.5 out now! That's another slower ball from Pradeep, who digs it short and gets Phillips to play a pull shot that settles in the hands of the deep square leg fielder. A dot ball, if nothing else 184/6
    11.5 top edges this to short fine leg. Not often you see Nabi get a wicket like this. This is quickish, on the stumps, and the ball is there to sweep. But Samarawickrama's execution is off - rolls his wrists early and it comes off the top edge to Nuwan Pradeep, who takes a comfortable catch 94/3
    13.6 thin top edge and Udara takes the catch. That's a decent deflection off a flat delivery pushed through outside off. Shadab had tried to cut, but there was a big noise before the ball thudded into the keeper's gloves, and Udara had positioned his gloves beautifully. 104/4
    15.4 banged straight to Nabi at mid off. This is a low full toss, about ankle-height, about a foot wide of off. Thisara Perera's eyes light up and he smashes that hard, but hits it at chest-height directly to Nabi, who juggles it once but holds the rebound. 125/5
