- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 Caught and bowled! Full delivery outside off again, swinging in again and he looks to hit it straight down the ground but it's gone back to Zahoor Khan. Dabare's first knock this season comes to an early end 0/15.4 Brathwaite has his fourth! Mendis looked to go across and scoop a length ball outside off, but hits it straight to fine leg. The skipper departs and Gladiators have lost half their side inside the powerplay 28/51.2 Taken at deep third! Length ball outside off and Azam Khan came down the track. Slashes it high in the air and Ashian Daniel settles under it to take the catch at deep third. Gladiators are two down early 1/23.1 Skied and taken! Length ball outside off and he looks to drive it over cover. Comes off the upper half of the bat and Karunaratne takes it running behind from point. The ball hits him on the face, but he holds on and passes it on to a teammate. He is bleeding, but has done the job for his team 19/33.3 Castled! Carlos Brathwaite pitches it full, angling in on off and it straightens to beat the bat and hit off-stump. Brathwaite has his third! 19/415.5 And as so often happens, it's a wicket after the break! This was another short one, and it holds up in the surface. Subasingha swings hard at this, but can only get the height on his pull. It's caught well inside the boundary line by Hasaranga at deep midwicket. 93/618.5 Chipped straight up in the air and he's gone! This is a little fuller from Udana, and Imad gets under this but he can only connect with the toe end of the bat. It ends up going high but only as far as mid-off, who settles under it for an easy take 115/817.4 Caught on the boundary line! Hasaranga tosses this up and induces the big sweep from Riaz, who can't quite get the distance. Udana takes a well judged catch on the boundary line. A quick check upstairs confirms that Udana had indeed stayed well within the ropes. 107/7Extras2 (lb 2)TOTAL121/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.05)Did not bat: N ThusharaFall of wickets: 1-0 (Thanuka Dabare, 0.2 ov), 2-1 (Azam Khan, 1.2 ov), 3-19 (Nuwanidu Fernando, 3.1 ov), 4-19 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 3.3 ov), 5-28 (Kusal Mendis, 5.4 ov), 6-93 (Movin Subasingha, 15.5 ov), 7-107 (Wahab Riaz, 17.4 ov), 8-115 (Imad Wasim, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.4 Gloved to the keeper. Good short ball that cramped him for space. He looked for the pull but the ball kisses his glove on the way to the wicketkeeper. Both openers are gone now 59/23.5 Edged and taken. Fletcher charged down and Pradeep drags his length back. He had a swipe and gets a thick edge that carries through to Azam Khan. Finally, someone catches Andre Fletcher! 30/114.3 And Mendis can't see it through! Comes down the track and looks to go inside out over long-off, but he only connects with the toe end of the bat. The ball goes high but straight to long-off. 115/59.2 Bowled him! And another break brings about a wicket! This was pushed through much quicker from Ifthikar, 98kph, and Bandara is slow on the attempted back foot dab down to third man. Top of off stump is rattled! 73/312.6 Down deep square leg's throat! Slower ball from Pradeep, and this aerial front foot pick-up shot of off the middle and leg cannot clear the man in the deep. 107/4Extras12 (b 1, lb 3, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL123/5 (15 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Andre Fletcher, 3.5 ov), 2-59 (Pathum Nissanka, 7.4 ov), 3-73 (Ashen Bandara, 9.2 ov), 4-107 (Fabian Allen, 12.6 ov), 5-115 (Kamindu Mendis, 14.3 ov)
