- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 flighted full on fourth stump, tries to slog sweep this to midwicket but this one is flighted more to throw off the timing and a bottom edge is dragged onto the stumps. Clever variation in speed from Qais does the trick. 50/115.1 slower ball angled wide on sixth stump, Dickwella is way out in front trying to pull and top edges this to short third man. Simple catch on the ring knuckles to Chameera who jogs back five steps to take the catch. 144/34.5 Qais on a hat-trick! Stock leg break flighted full and spins in, Upul prods down the wrong line and plays outside the line with his bat tucked behind the pad. Struck in front of middle below the knee roll. Big lbw shout upheld. They call for the review. But it's quite ambitious. Ball-tracking shows it was hitting the top of the bails so decision remains with umpire's call. 50/2Extras10 (b 3, lb 2, w 5)TOTAL203/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.15)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Samit Patel, 4.4 ov), 2-50 (Upul Tharanga, 4.5 ov), 3-144 (Niroshan Dickwella, 15.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.2 tame dismissal. Chandimal was struggling from the start. Another length ball this time tighter on the stumps, took a shuffle down the pitch to try to get momentum in the shot but it knuckles off the splice and flutters gently to mid-off, taken at head height on the ring. 20/16.5 good length on the stumps, this time carts it over wide long-on. Evans brings up a half-century (53) off 24 balls. Sizzling form after his century against Jaffna. 72/18.3 good length ball on fifth stump, Bell-Drummond tries to guide this with an open face to third man but instead gives an edge to the keeper, well held. 79/37.1 stone dead. Samit flights this on middle at 86 kph. Poor footwork from Udara going back and misses a flick across. Given immediately after being struck in front of middle below the knee roll. Comes down for a chat to his partner and they decide against reviewing.... but replays show he got an inside edge! Bizarre to not review. Wasn't apparent live but it was faint before redirecting onto the pads. 73/212.6 full on off, slices a skier high over point, comes down into the hands of the sweeper who pouches this crouching forward on one knee. 128/4Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL205/4 (18.5 Overs, RR: 10.88)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Dinesh Chandimal, 3.2 ov), 1-72* (Laurie Evans, retired not out ), 2-73 (Lahiru Udara, 7.1 ov), 3-79 (Daniel Bell-Drummond, 8.3 ov), 4-128 (Thikshila de Silva, 12.6 ov)
