    26.1 chop on! Good length ball slanted across the body, Nissanka doesn't move the feet much to create room and drags this into the ground onto middle and off stump. 138/2
    16.6 full on middle and off, Karunaratne shuffles across to sweep but is beaten by a ball darted in a bit flatter and quick and struck well below the knee roll. Big lbw shout upheld. This definitely was not going over the top or missing the stumps. The only doubt was whether or not Karunaratne was struck in line with off or outside the line. Live, it looked a fair call and replays haven't indicated anything to change that. Leg stump was visible but he looked to be struck in line with off. 95/1
    39.2 swatted into the hands of deep midwicket. Ali Naseer returns and provides UAE with the breakthrough. Naseer follows the bouncer with another one dug into the deck. It cramps Mendis on the pull and has him holing out. Reward for Naseer. Well done 243/3
    44.3 Horrible mix-up between the wickets and SL lose Sadeera. He reverses this from the stumps and hits it more or less straight to Jawad at short third. There's no single here. Sadeera takes a few paces down the pitch. His partner, however, knows that there's no single here. The throw is to Aravind who takes the bails off. Sadeera gives up and has to depart 287/4

    45.3 Caught at deep third. Naseer gets his reward once again. Banged in short and outside off, but the line isn't too wide. Ramped straight to Jawad at deep third. Wicket no. 2 for Ali Naseer. He has looked like picking up a lot more today 292/5
    46.2 Mustafa pins de Silva lbw. Very full and straight, just short of a yorker length. Straightens from round the stumps and strikes the pad in line with middle as de Silva does not meet with a reverse-sweep 297/6

    16.1 low full toss on off stump, Waseem sweeps this before it pitches and creams it flat toward Asalanka at deep square leg. He moves 10 yards to his right and ntercepts this diving to his right in front of the rope and lands just inside the foam triangle. The third umpire is checking to make sure he landed without touching the rope but he was two yards inside. Spectacular take. 82/2
    5.3 short ball on middle, Mustafa clears the front leg for an audacious hack to the leg side but is beaten for pace and top edges this tamely over short midwicket. Kumara shuffles five yards to his left in his follow-through and claims it off his own bowling. 36/1
    24.2 stock offbreak from de Silva. Pushed through fuller and turning into middle. Aravind dares to sweep from the stumps but does not lay bat on ball. Pinned in front. Looks plumb once again. Aravind falls 11 short of a half-century 119/5
    16.4 another googly, strikes the front pad, Hasaranga knows he has his man even before the finger goes up. Slides in, pings the front pad as Hameed does not read the variation once again. Hasaranga's double-strike has damaged UAE's chase 82/3
    18.3 Hasaranga is carving up UAE's chase. Another fizzing wrong'un, skids back in to strike the front pad in line with middle. This looks adjacent as well, Asif has to exit 94/4
    34.1 Rameez wastes no time sprinting down the wicket Hasaranga, and as a result will keep on sprinting, or walking, but with feet moving at variable speed regardless, back to the pavilion. It was a good length ball on fifth stump which Rameez was nowhere close to getting to the pitch too and continued with a wild heave that went between bat and pad on a googly and crashed into middle and off stump. 170/7
    32.6 Theekshana bags the key scalp of Naseer. Fullish and breaks back in as opposed to turning away. Theekshana goes through the defences of Naseer and cleans him up 167/6
    38.5 maiden ODI five-for and 50 career ODI wickets all at once for Hasaranga! It had to be the googly. It's been his wicket-taking ball all day and this one pitches on fifth stump before spinning in past a wild heave across the line to crash into middle stump. Hasaranga turns around and points his thumbs to the back of his jersey gesturing to his name and number for all to see who's the alpha dog today. 180/9
    34.3 full on seventh stump, tapped to cover and a terrible misfield by Rajitha allows a single. They're referring this to the third umpire because the backup fielder behind Rajitha coming in from the boundary is Theekshana and he scoops before throwing a direct hit to the bowler's end. Looks innocuous live but on replay this just furthers a completely village sequence of play. Meiyappan isn't looking at the ball arriving and never bothers to ground his bat. His toe is on the line, but not past it and so therefore nothing is grounded to complete the run. He's been given out. That's definitely not going to be making Meiyappan's Instagram stories after the game. 170/8

    38.6 googly cleans him up to end the match with a six-for to Hasaranga! It was floated in on the angle from around the stumps pitching on middle and off before straightening past a forward prod to hit the top of off stump. 180/10
