9:17pm: A new pitch at the Premadasa had some mystery around what would be a good score. 140 was the average on the old one, Jaffna have powered through to 173, thanks mainly to Hridoy, who kept the scoring going in the middle overs. Wellalage and Priyamal couldn't hit the big ones but kept the score ticking. Pathirana and Naseem's noes-and-toes stuff worked at times but couldn't get the breakthroughs. Chamika and Sandakan went at an average around 8.5 or 9, which was in line with the innings. Nawaz was the most economical one with his darts. A good score on the board for Jaffna but Colombo have Babar and a good line-up. How will the chase go? Join Ashish to find out.

Pathirana to NLTC Perera, 1 bye, Perera misses and tries to sneak a bye. Has Pathirana collected it properly? Yes, but he was sliding and his folded knees were falling on the ground, so he couldn't maintain balance and lost the ball. He pushed the stumps with his hand. The shortish ball outside off was slow. Perera jumped and was shaping to carve it but let it go - maybe thought it was wide - but was well inside the off-side tramline.
