- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.2 six and out! Slower ball lands on a fullish length, Gurbaz mistimes this one trying to go over midwicket and skews it toward long-on, simple catch for Udana jogging in 10 yards from the rope, taken crouching on his knees. 48/32.3 tremendous catch by Chandimal charging back toward the rope to claim a top edge! Length ball angled across fourth stump, tried to flay this over midwicket but it clips the top edge and swirls behind the keeper. Chandimal sets off in a sprint and covers 20 yards before lunging to latch on just on the edge of the nailed in advertising mats pinned in past the bowler's runups outside each circle. Wonderful athleticism. 10/10 as far as keeper catches go. 22/13.5 runout converted this time around! More sloppy running by the Tuskers. Short outside off, chops a bottom edged cut toward backward point. Mendis calls for a run immediately from the non-striker's end, but Gurbaz is preoccupied shouting at himself in frustration for mistiming it instead of carving it past the infield. Gurbaz never moves while Mendis is forced to scramble back trying to recover as Chandimal comes from behind the stumps to intercept it. Simple relay to the bowler who whips the bails off with Mendis three yards short. Umpire doesn't even refer it to his TV partner. 34/26.2 fullish length ball on middle stump, Taylor misses a flick to midwicket as the ball caroms to cover. Huge lbw shout by Mathews and Chandimal is denied. Looked out live and they call for the review. Taylor hit just below the knee roll on the crease after shuffling across. Three reds light up as ball-tracking shows it was ripping out a very thick part of leg stump 3/4 of the way up. 55/49.1 wicket first up! Gunaratne didn't wait to pull out the reverse sweep, premeditated, and now he doesn't have to wait to go to the pavilion. Misses badly and is hit full on the back leg in front of middle. Easy decision. Gunaratne walks straight past Irfan without bothering to consult for a review. 65/516.2 Irfan is defeated charging down the pitch. Good work by Priyanjan dragging the length back a touch and bowling it wider outside off, Irfan is stranded and has to go through with the shot anyway, can't control a slap through the offside and a thick edge flies to Chameera at backward point, easy catch jogging forward. 95/713.4 bowls the flipper and it skids on quicker with Dilruwan stuck on the crease. Clever change of pace from Qais. Had lulled them in the over with three gentle leg breaks at modest pace before slipping this in. Batsman tried to flick to midwicket but was beaten badly. Hit on the back leg in front of middle and off. Given out immediately by the umpire. 85/616.6 flighted full on fifth stump, another batsman defeated in flight charging. Priyanjan looks innocuous but the bottom falls out of the ball sharply with very tight overspin on this offbreaks. Embuldeniya gets under it far too much and punches an easy catch to Evans at long-on, taken five yards in from the rope crouching on his knees. 98/817.6 slower ball at 89 kph lands short on off stump, backs away again to try to heave over the leg side but can't keep the hands back long enough, skews a skier to mid-off, too easy for Mathews waiting for it to come down on the ring. 104/919.2 yorker on middle at full pace pings the base of the stumps at 130 kph. 105/10Extras8 (lb 5, w 3)TOTAL105 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 5.43)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Kusal Perera, 2.3 ov), 2-34 (Kusal Mendis, 3.5 ov), 3-48 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 5.2 ov), 4-55 (Brendan Taylor, 6.2 ov), 5-65 (Asela Gunaratne, 9.1 ov), 6-85 (Dilruwan Perera, 13.4 ov), 7-95 (Irfan Pathan, 16.2 ov), 8-98 (Lasith Embuldeniya, 16.6 ov), 9-104 (Vishwa Fernando, 17.6 ov), 10-105 (Munaf Patel, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 good length ball outside off, fends at this and gets a thin edge, goes through to the keeper. Appeal from behind and Munaf runs through in subdued celerbation. 22/15.1 back of a length at 133 kph, angled across fourth stump and draws him into a forward poke, thick edge carries through at a healthy thigh height as Kusal Perera dives across slip to take the catch. Outside of that free hit for six, Bell-Drummond never looked comfortable at the crease. 41/26.4 full and angling in from fourth stump, big seam movement off the pitch and Mathews is stuck on the crease playing down the wrong line. Big shout upheld. Mathews calls for a review. He was hit flush on the knee roll on the crease. Height is the only issue but it looked good live. Sure enough it's three reds on ball-tracking, ball is pinging back middle just below bail height. 52/3Extras29 (b 4, lb 8, nb 1, w 16)TOTAL108/3 (14.1 Overs, RR: 7.62)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Laurie Evans, 2.2 ov), 2-41 (Daniel Bell-Drummond, 5.1 ov), 3-52 (Angelo Mathews, 6.4 ov)
