    8.3 length ball on fourth stump, Nissanka tries to help this over midwicket with a pull but the timing is off and it is miscued gently to short midwicket where Delany backpedals three yards and takes a basic catch. 48/1

    37.3 bullseye! Slower ball yorker, tired heave from Karunaratne. He swings past this as it rattle into middle and off stump halfway up. 235/4
    8.4 full and straight and McCarthy is on a hat-trick! Spears this in past a belated defensive stab down the wrong line and Mendis is hit in front of middle and off below the knee roll. Very straightforward lbw decision for Brathwaite. 48/2
    35.1 charges a full and wide juicy delivery but Samawickrama picks out the man at short cover blitzing a drive to Tector at head height. It was hit with plenty of juice on it, but straight to Tector. Didn't have to move his feet at all and reaches up to take this just above his forehead. So the drop moments earlier only costs Ireland one run. 216/3
    44.1 charge from Asalanka to a flighted delivery full on middle. He makes good contact but its catching practice at deep midwicket. Campher takes a simple catch shuffling to his left hand side and takes the catch reaching up at head heigh 10 yards in from the rope. 281/5

    46.1 full on sixth stump, Shanaka drives hard at this and slices this toward Dockrell at deep backward point/deep third man and it flies all the way to Dockrell, who takes a simple catch three yards in from the rope at head height. 299/6
    47.1 well-directed short-ball! Hasaranga was backing away from leg stump trying to uppercut over short third but Adair bowled a bouncer that tied up his hands and he fought the ball off straight to the short third fielder. 304/7
    47.3 length ball on fourth stump, Theekshana goes for a bit heave and feathers an edge behind to Tucker. 304/8
    49.4 back of a length ball on off stump, skies a top edge over the pitch and Adair calls off everyone to take the catch himself. 325/9
    49.5 length ball is slapped straight to Stirling at short extra cover. The pair set off for a run and Stirling first a one bounce throw at the stumps that misses but Campher very alertly backs up coming over from short midwicket and collects before running three yards to whip the bails off with Rajitha a yard short. 325/10

    6.2 Back of a length at an innocuous pace on the leg stump, he leans back and doesn't control his pull at all, gets the elevation but not the distance as Lahiru at long leg gobbles it up gleefully. Another crucial breakthrough for Sri Lanka! Short ball slammed into the body and he was a little cramped up for room, too late for him to pull out of the shot as he committed to it very early. Ireland in trouble and need a major rebuilding work here 39/2
    3.4 Oh my goodness! That's an unbelievable catch by Mendis, incredible glovework as Stirling throws his hands at it outside off, away from his body, gets a thick outside edge and Mendis goes airborne, extending his arms to the right and plucking it out of thin air. Stunning catch! A bit of a brain freeze moment as he played a premediated shot and was not in control 21/1
    10.3 Pinned in front! Produces magic straightaway, googly pitched up and it spun in from outside off sharply as he was camped deep in his crease, couldn't jam his bat down quick enough, misjudged the line and it was a vociferous appeal from Hasaranga and company, umpire took his time before raising the dreaded finger as Ireland find themselves in a spot of bother 57/3
    16.1 Another one bites the dust! Stone dead lbw! Nicely floated up delivery on a length, gets a hint of turn towards middle and Harry Tector completely misjudges the line, slinks forward and it goes past his bat, tenderises the pad, it looked pretty adjacent as the umpire raises the finger without much hesitation. Ireland find themselves in a rut! 86/5
    11.3 Chopped on! Crackerjack! Shanaka breaches Tucker's defences with a pinpoint delivery on a slightly shorter line and then nipping like a barracuda out of the murk, his feet movement is going nowhere and he tries to block it warily, gets an inside edge and the bails are off. Sri Lanka bossing the game! 58/4
    19.6 Shorter delivery outside off, tries to muscle it over square leg, goes straight up in the air and just when Ireland was looking to go with a counter-attacking approach, Campher loses the plot and plays a horrendous shot, gets a top-edge that ballooned up in the air, regulation catch for the keeper as his ebullience lasted 31 deliveries but an enterprising innings laced with four boundaries and one maximum 116/6

    22.3 That's a tremendous riposte! Shows his class with a searing googly piched on a length and it turned back viciously from off, clattering the off stump, his feet was going nowhere and was stuck on the crease, making an absolute mess of his stumps. Hasaranga with a vicious fist-pump and a very loud scream! 141/7
    22.5 Once again Hasaranga gets his man! Fuller and drifting on the pads, tries to belt it over midwicket, finds Shanaka at short midwicket who catches it like a lizard pouching its prey. Hasaranga you can do no wrong as Ireland continue to fold 145/8
    27.4 That's a screamer! Swings big but doesn't control his bat and Kumara at mid-off leaps off his feet to his right, goes airborne and takes a superb diving catch! Just instinctively flicks out his hands and the ball sticks in it. 162/9
    30.6 Hasaranga seals the deal with a brilliant caught and ball, he is absolutely pumped up as he picks up a fifer and his 16th wicket in the tournament as Sri Lanka register an emphatic 133 run victory over Ireland - they have lost seven consecutive ODIs and didn't really turn up in this tournament, absolute surrender with the bat today although they got a bit of momentum towards the death with the ball 192/10
