    3.2 Straight up and well held! Udana goes with a hard length again, but this time it's closer to the stumps. Hendricks looks to pick this up over mid-on but only ends up getting under it. Seifert back peddles from mid-on, settles under it nicely and takes a well-judged catch falling backwards 29/1
    5.3 Udana has the big fish! Good length on the stumps, it's the back of the hand slower one and KJP is way too early on the stroke. Only manages scoop this straight to the man at long-on 40/2
    8.1 And he strikes! Skips down the track as Udara looks to go inside out over cover. He's going with the wind, but all that does is take this to Sahan Arachchige at sweeper all that much quicker. Well judged catch in the end 66/3
    11.4 Edged and gone! Back of a length cross-seamer just outside off. Nuwanidu leans back, clears the front leg, and has a wild swing at this. Only ends up edging gently through to Dickwella 86/5
    10.3 Finds the man at deep midwicket! This was another flat googly on off, and Chapman looks to go big with this pull. But he doesn't get the distance as Arachchige settles under his second catch of the evening 82/4

    12.1 And Dickwella is on his bike! This is a stumping chance for anyone wondering, as Nabi pushed at and missed a flighted leg break. Dickwella whipped the bails of in a flash, and set off in celebration immediately. Replays support the Galle captain's antics, as Nabi doesn't seem to have anything behind the crease 87/6
    16.3 Castled! This was a cracking yorker from Theekshana, it's the carrom ball. Drifts in and it's too good for Hemantha 111/7
    17.6 Chipped straight to mid-off! This was full on off, but Madushanka can only scoop this straight to the man in the circle 122/8

    0.4 What an absolute beauty! This is a Thushara classic! Good length inswinger, pitching middle and off and shaping in. Dickwella pushes at it and it's through the gap, middle stump is flattened 8/1
    7.3 Incredible return catch from Hemantha and Hales is gone! Hales skips down the track, Hemantha drags the length back. There's turn away from the batter as he looks to adjust and work this onside. Only ends up chipping it back towards Hemantha, who sticks a right hand over his right shoulder and holds on with two hands in the end. Outstanding stuff 46/5
    0.6 And that's another! Thushara with the dream start! This was full and straight, and Seifert just plays down the wrong line. It clatters into the back pad and the umpire has a very easy decision to make 8/2
    4.2 And the gamble pays off! Thushara is brought for his third and he delivers for his skipper. This is the slower one, full and just outside off. Bhanuka goes hard at this, but only manages a thick inside edge on to the stumps 24/3
    5.1 Huuuge appeal... and gone on review! To think they almost didn't take this review. Wow. Nabi had to be convinced and he seemed to signal just as the clock ticked down to zero. This looked mighty close to the naked eye, only thing saving him might have been bat. It pitched in line of middle and straightened. It's first though according to Ultra Edge and it's three reds! 27/4
    11.5 top edged and gone! Hemantha gets his third as Arachchige mistimes the sweep completely on the googly, and finds the man at deep midwicket 59/7
    9.2 And another one bites the dust! This was a tossed up leg break that Pretorius looks to slog sweep over cow corner. But this pitches on leg and turns sharply to spin under the bat and into off stump. 52/6
    19.1 And the young man has got the breakthrough! Udana can't see it through! Good length, outside off, angling away and all Udana can do is slice this to long-off where Nabi holds on to a very good high-pressure catch! That is surely the game! 134/9
    12.3 But no harm done, Pradeep gets a wicket anyway! Length ball, driven on the up and straight to Hendricks at short cover 62/8
    19.4 And that's the game! Short of a length on off, walks across and looks to pull this. Top edge straight to backward square leg. Dambulla win by 25 runs! 135/10
