- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 doesn't get it third time though. And that's what a leggie can do for you. Tries to hit another Qais ball way over the straight boundary, but this one is a touch slower and turns a little. It goes way up into the air, and Laurie Evans gets under it at cover. Colombo Kings DESPERATELY needed that wicket 75/119.1 what a catch! Chameera bowls hard into the wicket and KJP tries to bang that high over deep square. Takes the top edge though, and Priyanjan runs quickly back from short fine leg and tracks that ball down, completing a diving take about 15 metres from the boundary. 207/312.4 Mendis tries to get cute, but it jags in off the seam, and Gony gets a wicket? Mendis was looking to guide this past the keeper, but the seam back into him means he can't get the connection he wanted and Dinesh Chandimal leaps across behind the wicket to complete and excellent catch. 134/2Extras12 (lb 5, w 7)TOTAL219/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-75 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 5.4 ov), 2-134 (Kusal Mendis, 12.4 ov), 3-207 (Kusal Perera, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.3 oh no. he was playing so well, but Naveen has got the big breakthrough. this is short of a length again, and outside off stump. Chandi tries to ramp it fine, but doesn't quite get the connection he wants and merely guides it straight into the hands of third man, who just has to run in a few metres. End of a fantastic innings. 131/25.2 this is an offbreak I think, and Evans is as flummoxed as I am. This looks like a long hop, but all Evans can do is hack that away aerially to a gleeful deep-midwicket fielder. Gunaratne is grinning, like he totally planned to be hit for six the previous ball and then take Evans' wicket with this ball. 64/112.4 back-to-back wickets. Naveen has had a poor game so far but has turned it around. it's the other set batsman, Thikshila de Silva, who goes now. this is a back of a length ball outside off, that takes de Silva's outside edge and carries low to short third man, where an excellent catch is completed. 131/316.5 ho dang! Russell is out. This is hard into Russell's ribs, and he swings hard. only gets a top edge though. It flies high into the hands of long on, and Tuskers know that is a huuuge moment in the game. 167/613.4 that's a huge moment! Prasanna bowls what would normally be called a long hop, but he's pushed this through quickly, and it doesn't bounce as much as Mathews expects. The batsman misses with his big pull shot and the ball skids in to the top of middle stump. Tuskers are ecstatic. 134/416.2 fullish, wide of off stump, slower ball, Priyanjan tries to banish that over long on, but gets a thick top edge, and the long on fielder comes across and settles under a very high catch to send Priyanjan on his way. 167/519.4 Qais is not happy with how Udana is playing this. Asela finally gets a good ball in and, Udana gets an inside edge on to his pad. Qais is screaming for a single and running through, but Udana is not interested in the slightest. He turns him back and Kusal Perera easily runs him out 215/7Extras12 (lb 5, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL219/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Laurie Evans, 5.2 ov), 2-131 (Dinesh Chandimal, 12.3 ov), 3-131 (Thikshila de Silva, 12.4 ov), 4-134 (Angelo Mathews, 13.4 ov), 5-167 (Ashan Priyanjan, 16.2 ov), 6-167 (Andre Russell, 16.5 ov), 7-215 (Qais Ahmad, 19.4 ov)
