- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.6 Daniel holes out at long-on! The pressure had been building, and Wellalage tossed it up. Daniel chances his arm and looks to loft this over long-on, but it's Miller on the ropes who steadies himself and completes a good catch 63/33.6 Theekshana strikes in the powerplay as he so often does! This was pushed through quicker on a length, Croospulle goes back once more but this time he looks to defend and fails to get bat on it. The ball just deviating enough to beat the outside edge and rifle into off stump. 28/14.3 Bhanuka gifts his wicket first ball! Skips down the track but doesn't get to the pitch of it. Ends up looking to whip it over midwicket but only finds the man at wide mid-on 29/210.1 The finger goes up for leg before! It's the big one of Seifert though, so they review. Seifert misses the reverse sweep and his struck in front of off. This looked absolutely stone dead though. And yes, it's three reds. As this was the reverse sweep, the third umpire has to actually double check if this had pitched outside off or leg. 66/412.3 And Wellalage has another! This one was tossed up on leg, Shakib clears the front leg and looks to heave this over deep midwicket, but fails to get the elevation as the man in the deep is found 75/518.1 And he strikes straight away! Pace-off, Shanaka is early on the swing. It keeps low and the stumps are rattled 107/714.4 The pressure tells, and Samarakoon must go! The tall left hander comes down the track, but Wellalage fires this full and wide outside off. Gurbaz grabs it and almost makes a hash of it as he misses the stumps first time round. But Samarakoon too failed to get his bat back in the crease as he lost his grip on it, allowing Gurbaz to eventually complete the stumping 89/618.3 Outstanding take at short third! Akila looks to open the face and guide this back of a length ball fine, but it's in the air and Thisara dives low to his right and holds on to a great catch 108/819.2 Cracking yorker cleans him up! The slower one followed by one that's rapid, crashes into the base of leg stump as Rajitha charges and misses 110/9Extras7 (lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL117/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.85)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Lasith Croospulle, 3.6 ov), 2-29 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 4.3 ov), 3-63 (Shevon Daniel, 8.6 ov), 4-66 (Tim Seifert, 10.1 ov), 5-75 (Shakib Al Hasan, 12.3 ov), 6-89 (Lahiru Samarakoon, 14.4 ov), 7-107 (Dasun Shanaka, 18.1 ov), 8-108 (Akila Dananjaya, 18.3 ov), 9-110 (Kasun Rajitha, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.2 They finally see the back of Gurbaz! No review needed for those. Tossed up on off. Gurbaz dances down the track eyeing a massive slog. Is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and his stumps take a beating. 100/22.4 Loud, sustained appeal and the umpire agrees finally! That looked very close on first glance. Asalanka has reviewed. Pushed quicker on off, Asalanka shapes up for the sweep and misses. He is pinned bang in front of the stumps. Oh, that looks done. The only question is whether he got his foot outside the line. He didn't and ball-tracker confirms that would have taken out off stump. Early success for Galle. 17/1Extras10 (b 1, lb 4, w 5)TOTAL120/2 (12.4 Overs, RR: 9.47)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Charith Asalanka, 2.4 ov), 2-100 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 11.2 ov)
