- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 change of pace does for Chandi! Looks to come down and hit over the top but he gets right underneath it, and Thisara Perera settles under the catch at mid-off! Breakthrough for Jaffna in the Powerplay, and it's the big wicket of Chandimal 18/18.4 run-out backing up! Hasaranga gets a hand on Evans' full-blooded drive and Bell-Drummond is stranded! Nothing much the non-striker could do there, having advanced a couple of yards down the pitch... good reactions from the bowler, and he gets a bit of fortune to turn it on to the stumps 53/215.4 Mathews attempts to join the one-man show, but he's holed out to long-off! Two men converge, and manage not to bounce off one another as the chance is swallowed. Mathews never really got going, but then he hasn't needed to in the last few overs... 137/319.6 Russell runs himself out with an unlucky drive into the stumps! Timed well enough, but placed too well, too straight, and as the ball stops dead on the base of the stumps, Lakmal has the presence of mind to uproot the stump with the bails already off. That's the end of that 173/4Extras6 (lb 2, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL173/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Dinesh Chandimal, 3.3 ov), 2-53 (Daniel Bell-Drummond, 8.4 ov), 3-137 (Angelo Mathews, 15.4 ov), 4-173 (Andre Russell, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.4 makes the breakthrough. Slower ball, 70mph/113kph, which moves in just enough to peg back off stump as Charles is utterly bamboozled. Colombo have an early wicket and Johnson Charles' horror run continues 14/16.6 great catch by Russell at extra cover! Not a great ball from Qais, a flipper which he landed halfway down, and Moores had time to free his arms and hit this wherever he chose. Unfortunately for the Stallions, he went for extra cover, where Dre Russ was lurking to take a superb reaction catch 47/212.2 hoicked into the leg side, very high, and the fielder is in off the rope to take a good catch diving forward! Asalanka goes. Length ball, Asalanka gave it the big heave-ho, but could only pick out deep midwicket. Russell celebrates the breakthrough 83/315.6 short ball, Malik backs away and finds deep point with the cut! Short and wide from Dre Russ, and Malik picks out DBD on the rope. Two in two for Russell, and Colombo are closing in 125/613.2 tight to the stumps, on a length at 76mph/123kph, and de Silva pulls straight to short midwicket where Russell takes the catch! Cheap dismissal, Russell hardly had to move 91/415.5 full outside off, looks to dig it out cross-batted and deep point takes the catch on the rope! Big moment. Didn't look comfortable under this, but took it low to the ground 125/5Extras9 (b 2, lb 5, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL167/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Johnson Charles, 2.4 ov), 2-47 (Tom Moores, 6.6 ov), 3-83 (Charith Asalanka, 12.2 ov), 4-91 (Chaturanga de Silva, 13.2 ov), 5-125 (Thisara Perera, 15.5 ov), 6-125 (Shoaib Malik, 15.6 ov)
