9.48 pm Solid finish sparked by Hasaranga to drag Jaffna to 148 when it looked like they might not get past 100 at one stage. Did Mathews make a strategic blunder in not bowling Qais for a full four overs? The Afghan ripped apart the middle order with three scalps but curiously had one over left unused. Still it's Colombo's match to lose at this stage. Will take a special effort in the field to hold them off. Join us in a short while for the chase.

Vihanga Perera: "I'm sure Vijayakanth Viaskanth would never have imagined he'd be facing Russell, let alone meeting him".

Mathews to PW Hasaranga, FOUR, length ball on off, slaps this over Evans at mid-off, not struck cleanly but enough muscle to just clear the fielder to the rope.

Mathews returns for the 19th. Looks like Qais Ahmad is going to finish with one over unused when he took three in a clump earlier in the innings.

Udana to PW Hasaranga, (no ball) FOUR, attempted slower ball is a head high full toss that Hasaranga adjusts to get inside the line and flick over short fine leg. Hasaranga is dragging his side back into this. Udana's over that started so promising is rapidly unraveling now.
17.5

Udana to PW Hasaranga, FOUR, full and wide again, driven behind point again, beats the boundary rider behind point once more. Brilliant batting by Hasaranga to counter the field settings.

Backward point moves into the leg side ring as they change the field slightly. Still five on the off side. Udana changes the angle to come around the wicket now too.

Udana to PW Hasaranga, FOUR, another full and wide ball outside off, almost off the pitch but Hasaranga shuffles way outside off to counter the field, converts this into a low full toss and drives behind point, beats the man on the rope as well.

Udana to PW Hasaranga, FOUR, full and wide outside off, field was set with short third man, backward point and extra cover in the ring plus three off side boundary riders. Hasaranga adjusts to hammer a full delivery wide outside off straight down the ground to split long-on and long-off.

Lakwin: "Wanidu HAS to drag them to atleast 140 to have anything to bowl at here. Get to 140, and get Russell out early. Thats their only chance"

17.2

Udana to PW Hasaranga, FOUR, Hasaranga shuffles way across his stumps and flicks this length ball off middle stump past short fine leg in the ring, clever manipulation of the field by Hasaranga.

Msrk: "Along with big-hitting ability, match awareness is also very important, that was lacking today from T.Perera..!!"

Udana to B Fernando, OUT, slower ball from Udana, tries to slog this flat over wide long-on. Evans with a sharp catch jogging to his right along the rope, reaches across his body at chest height and bobbles the ball initially but doesn't panic and clings onto the rebound while also keeping his body under control to stay inside the rope. Evans has been a magnet in the field today.

B Fernando c Evans b Udana 11 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 64.70
