1b
Rajitha to Ross, 1 bye, Oh my word! The game is not over yet! Bowls a searing yorker on sixth stump line and he cannot lay bat on it. Keeper has a shy at the stumps but misses as they manage to sneak a run. Don't go anywhere, it will be a Super Over - the first of this year's LPL!

Rajitha to Ross, 2 runs, Grassed! What have you done? Massive moment in the game, slashed away to deep backward point, fielder took a few steps in and got his hands to it but then it popped out as he landed. That could be the game!

6

Shanaka to Ross, 1 leg bye, Pitched on a length and thumps his pads, Shanaka is convinced he got his man, decides to use the review after umpire turned the appeal down.

18.3
4
