    14.5 does him completely. The plumbest of lbws. It's the previous deliveries that set this wicket ball up. Fletcher is back to a flat, fuller delivery that he should be forward to, and it rushes on to him with the arm, and hits his back leg in front of middle and off as he tries to clip to the legside. No point reviewing that. Fletcher marches. 148/5
    4.2 arm ball, and Jayasuriya has got Chandimal's outside edge. This is looped up again, as if it is about to spin, but it's overspin rather than sidespin, and as Chandimal drives at it, he gets a thin edge to the keeper. Big wicket. 54/1
    5.6 goes for the sweep, doesn't connect, and is given lbw! That was fired through quickly, yorker length, and Haris gets inside the line but misses with his shot. That hit him on the back leg in front of leg stump, but was it sliding past? Haris asks Fletcher if he should review, but gets a curt reply, and doesn't go upstairs. Ball tracker says that would have missed the stumps! 69/2
    8.1 slower ball, on off stump, and oh no Kamindu, what have you done? Seemed to read that it was a slower ball, and his eyes light up and he swipes at it. But He's hit it to deep midwicket, who only has to take a couple of steps to the right and get low to pouch it near his midriff. Just poor placement, that. 84/3
    13.4 simple catch for Alex Hales at mid off. This was a pace-on delivery, wide of off, back of a length. Mathews tries to pummel that through wide long on I think, but is late on the shot. Hales backpedals a couple of metres and swallows it 144/4
    15.1 three wickets in three balls for Marvels. Team hat-trick, and suddenly Marvels have roared their way back into this game. This is a googly with plenty of air on it, pitched outside off and turning in. Shanaka tries to bang this over the legside, but the topspin has meant this bounces a bit, and it takes the top edge and balloons away to long off, who takes a simple catch, having jogged in a couple of metres. 148/7
    14.6 similar ball, and even more spectacular result! This is one of the best LPL overs this season. Another arm ball, fired in from wide on the stumps, right into middle and off. Hasaranga goes back and tries to hit through off but lets the ball slip through and make a mess of his stumps. 148/6
    19.1 He's caught at deep midwicket. This was a back of a length ball, slower one, very wide of off as Mendis treks to the offside. He tires to club Pretorius over that legside boundary, but has too much to do. He has to drag it from too wide, and create too much of his own pace. Easy catch in the end. 183/8

    19.4 run out by Dickwella. Another swing and miss and they try to run a bye, but Dickwella under arms the throw, and finds the target. 184/9
