    7.2 What an outstanding catch in the deep! This is absolutely incredible from Sams, who runs along the boundary from deep midwicket towards square leg and dives at full length to hold on to a lofted sweep. The follow through on his dive sees him slide along the ropes, glorious stuff! 40/4
    2.1 And Gunathilaka goes for the softest of dismissals! This is a loose delivery to start, full outside leg. Gunathilaka spots it and goes for scoop over short fine leg, but his connection is only good enough to chip an absolute dolly to the man at short fine. 17/1
    2.5 Edged and gone! Back of a length, angling across the lefty from over the wicket, and Asalanka lazily hangs a bat out as the ball takes a clean edge through to the keeper. 23/2
    6.3 Oh deary me! This just holds up on the surface a touch, but it's enough to get Mendis checking his drive and chipping the easiest of return catches to Agar. 38/3
    16.1 bowled him! Clever slower ball. 120kph from deep in the hand and it dipped on Chandimal at a near yorker length, he tried to swipe across the line and it sneaked under the bat and crashed into off stump 87/5

    19.3 skied to cover and well held! That could have disappeared. A length ball in the slot, he tried to launch over midwicket and sliced it off a thick outside edge high to cover-point and Inglis gets under it to take it easily 115/6

    0.1 And McDermott's gone first ball! This is the carrom ball first up, on a length, and McDermott stays back, looks to push at it but ends up getting a thick edge to slip. What a start for the Lankans! 0/1
    4.4 Big appeal! Given not out for lbw, but SL take the review. Tossed up, but it's quicker. Agar tries to work this through midwicket, but misses and gets struck on the back pad. Replays show this actually straightens after pitching in line, and... that is three reds! Agar is gone! 26/2
    14.1 Edged and taken! Is there a twist here? Finch has to go, as he goes for the big inside out drive over cover, but gets a thick edge through to slip, via a small deflection off the gloves of the keeper. 102/4
    10.4 And Theekshana has his third! Maxwell goes for one big hit too many. This time it's the slog sweep, but he doesn't connect as he would like. Deep midwicket only has to venture a few yards in to complete the catch. 76/3
