8.55pm So Dambulla end on 162 for 7, probably a par total on this surface but one that they would've been hoping to clear comfortably after that start from Avishka and Sadeera. But Kandy dragged the game back in the middle overs, before the final five went for a fair few more than they would've liked. The end result means that at the end of the innings neither side is really happy with how things went, though Kandy will be quite confident in hunting these down. Join us for the start of the chase in just a bit.
