    4.5 Dickwella departs! Seems like a cutter, hung up full and wide outside off. Dickwella probably pre-meditates the scoop and gets into position. No real pace to work with, though, and all he does is help it straight down deep backward square leg's throat! 44/1
    7.3 edged and taken! Nabi with the vital breakthrough! Flatter on a back of a length outside off. Hales stays back, looking for the cut. The ball, though, is perhaps a touch too full and too close to him to be playing that stroke. Gets a thickish outside edge that is snaffled up sharply by Perera behind the stumps. Big moment in the game! 60/2
    13.4 goes straight up, and Seifert bites the dust! Floated up full and wide outside off, daring Seifert to drag it leg side. He takes up the challenge but comes up second-best. The ball holds in the surface just enough to take the top edge and the ball lobs up tamely for short third to snaffle it. The Sixers keep chipping away; Galle keep losing their way! 89/4
    8.6 huge appeal, but the umpire is unmoved! Looped up full just outside off. The ball drops late on Rajapaksa and then spins back into him, beating him on the sweep. Thumps into his back leg, and looks pretty close. The Sixers have reviewed, and they could have a case here. No bat involved. All eyes on Ball Tracking now...and it returns with the ball smashing into middle and leg. Impact in line too, and Rajapaksa has to go! 67/3
    14.2 cleans him up with a corker! Fizzed through flatter on a length on leg stump. Liyanage looks at the trajectory and thinks he can play off the back foot. Bad decision. Very bad decision. The ball is much fuller than he anticipates and it also rags past the outside edge, clipping off stump in the process. Liyanage all at sea, and Hemantha has his second! 93/5
    18.1 Thushara among the wickets! Angled across on a full length outside off. Looks like a cutter. Arachchige tries to go inside out, specifically over deep cover point but the lack of pace means he gets more elevation than distance. Wickramasinghe settles under it on the fence and makes no error! 127/7
    17.5 Pretorius falls! Full and wide outside off again, tempting the drive. Pretorius takes up the invitation but can neither keep it down nor get under it completely. Slices it towards Hendricks at extra cover, who swoops down low and gobbles it up! 127/6
    19.2 no heroics from Udana today! Another attempted wide yorker and even though it ends up as a full toss, it is wide enough. Udana has to fetch it and in that process, he does not get the power he is after. Cloths it and Chapman running in from long on does the rest! 134/8

    19.5 taken at short fine leg! Slower ball bowled full and wide outside off. Nadeeshan chances his arm again, this time looking for the scoop. Does not have enough pace to work with, though, and spoons it towards short fine leg, who takes the catch high to his right! 142/9

    19.3 goes a mile up, and taken at long off! Galle believe! Dangles the carrot outside off and Hendricks bites. Tries to go up and over long off but the bat turns upon contact. Does not get the timing he desires and Pretorius completes a regulation catch on the fence. Oh my, what a moment in the game! 143/6
    0.3 struck on the pads, and the finger goes up! Perera reviews immediately! Length ball that pitches in and around leg stump. Zips off the surface and beats Perera for pace on the flick. Gets rapped on the front pad but the question is whether this pitched in line. Flat line on UltraEdge. Over to Ball Tracking now...and it shows the ball has pitched in line, with it also going on to clip middle and leg. Umpire's Call, so the Sixers do not lose the review but they lose Perera inside the first over! 3/1
    4.4 castled! Incoming delivery on a length on off. Nips back into Zadran as designed. Zadran looks to drive on the up but the inward movement means he chunks it off the inside edge into his back thigh. The ball then ricochets into off stump, and the Sixers lose their second wicket! 41/2
    8.6 timmbbeerrr! Pushed through quicker on a shortish length on middle and leg. Kisses the surface and hurries onto Udara. He looks to swipe it away but is late on the stroke. Brushes his back pad and then deflects onto the stumps Crucial wicket for Galle, just before the time-out! 73/3
    11.4 goes through him! Slowed up a little on a length on middle and off. Chapman looks to work to leg but the ball comes back in with the angle. Chapman perhaps tried to play it too square and in the end, played all around it. Top of leg stump pegged back, and the Galle Marvels keep chipping away! 86/4
    14.1 has he bowled'im? Or is that an appeal for a stumping? Fizzed through on a length just outside off. Drifts in before pitching and ripping away. Wickramasinghe is opened up completely and the ball seems to sneak past the top of off stump. Dickwella gathers and whips off the bails. Just in time, it seems. Wickramasinghe's back foot came up, and that was all the Galle skipper needed. Solid piece of wicket-keeping! 97/5
    19.6 and we have a Super Over! Chaos and carnage in Colombo! Zipped in very full outside off. Nabi digs it out towards cover point and sets off for the single. He is always struggling to get there. Theekshana holds his nerve, gets back to the stumps and then gathers to take off the bails, with Nabi not even in the frame! And we go on.... 148/7
