- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.5 Inverses his stance and he can't execute the reverse sweep! Bowls at a tight line and he deflects it off his gloves to the stumps. A much-needed breakthrough for Strikers who have had nothing to cheer about so far in the innings. This will gee them up as Sandakan punches the air in ecstasy. He has kept things very tight in this over and induced a false shot 87/18.6 Mendis strikes! Huge appeal for an lbw and the umpire doesn't hesitate to raise his finger! Beautifully flighted delivery that holds its line and beats his punch, thumps on the front pad and it looks very close. 91/218.4 Wrecked the stumps! Fast and furious does it again, nails the yorker right in the blockhole. He tried to guide it to fine leg and exposed his leg stump, it rips through the stumps and Naseem gets his first wicket 178/3Extras13 (b 7, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL188/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.4)Fall of wickets: 1-87 (Lasith Croospulle, 7.5 ov), 2-91 (Shevon Daniel, 8.6 ov), 3-178 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.3 Galle finally get a breakthrough! Stretches out and takes a big mow at it, got the height but not the distance as he miscues the slog sweep and launches it straight into the hands of Shevon who reached out with his hands and did well in the end to hang onto it, tracked it well from his bat, into the air and then in his hands 111/119.1 Holes out to long-off! Bit of an anticlimactic end to an otherwise superb knock! Tossed up fuller outside off, just couldn't get underneath it, got toe-end of the bat and Strikers are in deep trouble now. Set batter is back in the hut 175/317.4 Holes out to long-on! He was looking to loft it straight down, but mistimes it straight to Shanaka in the deep, who makes no mistake. Lofts it straighter than he wanted to and couldn't get underneath it 166/2Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL189/3 (19.5 Overs, RR: 9.52)Fall of wickets: 1-111 (Pathum Nissanka, 12.3 ov), 2-166 (Nuwanidu Fernando, 17.4 ov), 3-175 (Babar Azam, 19.1 ov)
