9.09pm Right, so Colombo Strikers get to 157 for 6. Not the kind of total they would have wanted after batting first, but they have something on the board. The surface has not been the easiest to bat on and Strikers will hope for their spinners to come good. The innings was set up by Babar, who scored 59 off 52 even as none of the other batters could get their timing right. Can Kandy chase it down? Join Madushka in a bit to find out.
saif: "The scorecard really shows how vital babar was today. strikers would have been lost without his anchoring inning"

Mohammad Hasnain to Mendis, 2 runs, Straight up and falls in no-man's land and the duo scurry back for two. Banged in short as he looks for a pull. The ball goes up and falls towards the square leg area.

Mohammad Hasnain to Mendis, FOUR, Oh, he gets a four straight past the bowler. On pace length ball just on off, he presents the full face of the bat and powers it past the outstretched right leg of Hasnain. Mid-off is up
