    2.3 top edge caught at fine leg! Excellent bouncer! Got big on Warner. Cross seam, short, just outside off, it climbs and Warner tried to get on top of it and pull it forward of square but it flew off the top edge to fine leg and Theekshana runs in to take a good catch. 14/1
    26.4 A blinder at first slip! And it's the big wicket of Finch as Vandersay strikes again. It's the ripping leg spinner from leg to off that does the trick once more, as Finch looks to stay back and work this onside but only manages a thick outside edge. There's still a whole lot of work to do for Dhananjaya though, who flies one-handed to his right and holds on to a stunning catch. 121/4
    10.3 caught at cover! Well bowled! Tossed up slightly slower. Marsh drives hard but mistimes it in the air straight to cover and Kusal Mendis takes a simple catch 47/2
    24.2 And has he got him here?! Yes, he's stumped! That's a beauty by Vandersay, and great hands by Dickwella who whipped the bails off in a flash. It's a looping, dipping leg spinner on middle and leg that draws Marnus into the on drive, but he's not quite at the pitch of it. The turn beats him, and causes him to lose balance as well. As Dickwella takes the bails off, Marnus is literally in a split, but crucially short of the crease. 116/3
    39.6 Given LBW! Carey reviews He tries to lap sweep again and this slides on and hits the front pad infront of off. The question is, did he touch it with the bat or gloves first? No bat involved on ultraedge. Ball tracking shows three reds. Hitting in line and smashing middle and leg. 193/5

    44.3 brilliant catch running back from mid on! Field change works. They brought mid on up. He tossed it up wide of off, Maxwell tries to go against the turn but he's reaching for out from way outside off, he gets it off the toe, Wellalage runs back from the circle with the flight and takes a fantastic catch 233/6

    7.5 And now he's gone! Inside edge on to the stumps! This is the arm ball from Maxwell that just skids on with the angle, and Dickwella gets thin inside edge on his drive as the ball crashes through bat and pad. 42/1
    47.1 Taken by mid-off haring back! This was a length ball on off, and he looked to loft this over the infield but couldn't quite get enough on it. Good take by Warner, with the ball falling over his shoulder. And with that a high calibre knock from Pathum Nissanka comes to an end. The Khettarama is on its feet! 284/3

    37.6 Fired in full and on the pads, defended into the onside for one. 212/1
    43.2 Return catch taken by Hazlewood! And anti-climactic end to an impactful innings, as Dhananjaya gets a toe-end on this low full toss, chipping it back to Hazlewood, who extends a nonchalant right hand and completes the catch. 255/2

    47.4 base of middle stump clattered into! Another inswinging yorker, but this one was too good for Shanaka, who is very late on the swing. 285/4
