- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.3 Haris is gone! Kumara bowls this on a good length wide outside off, entices Haris into the drive on the up and he gives it a big swing, but only manages a thick outside edge that flies right to that man at third man. Massive wicket for Galle! 7/13.4 And Kumara has another! Again the extra pace does the trick. This was a good length ball on off, asking the batter to drive on the up. There's just enough movement off the pitch though to see the batter slice a simple catch to point 19/215.2 Taken by long-off! Chandimal comes down the track but fails to get to the pitch, loses the bottom hand as he looks to loft this down the ground. Doesn't get any distance and long-off runs in to complete an easy catch 105/54.4 Oh dear, sloppy, sloppy cricket! Arachchige has just gifted his wicket away! Comes down the track and gets nowhere near the pitch as the ball goes past the outside edge. Then what's worse, he doesn't even bother looking back and continues walking. Had he done so, he might have made his crease as the keeper had fumbled the ball. In the end the keeper gathers the ball in front of the stumps and runs him out/stumps him 20/313.2 And Hasaranga's brave innings comes to an end! Tossed up and he gets on one knee looking to go big. Only manages though to get this high and straight, where long-on comes around and completes a comfortable catch 92/419.4 Great work from the keeper! Runs out Mathews! This was a slower ball that Chaturanga missed completely, they look to run to the keeper but de Livera throws down the stumps with Mathews barely in the frame 154/718.3 Taken excellently by Shanaka! This was in the slot, but Asif only manages to hit this straight up towards mid-off. Shanaka runs in from cover, and takes this expertly as it falls over his shoulder 139/6Extras9 (nb 1, w 8)TOTAL157/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Mohammad Haris, 1.3 ov), 2-19 (Thanuka Dabare, 3.4 ov), 3-20 (Sahan Arachchige, 4.4 ov), 4-92 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 13.2 ov), 5-105 (Dinesh Chandimal, 15.2 ov), 6-139 (Asif Ali, 18.3 ov), 7-154 (Angelo Mathews, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.3 But this bounces just right! Das plants a foot outside off and looks to sweep this, but Chaturanga pushes this through full and straight, and middle stump is rocked 38/16.2 Chipped straight to wide long-off! And it's the big one of Croospulle! He comes down the track and looks to go inside out. But he doesn't get to the pitch, which means all he ends up doing is lobbing a gentle catch to the man in the deep 45/35.2 Caught at short third! Looks to reverse sweep but it's straight into the hands of Hasnain at short third! 39/211.1 Deep midwicket holds on! Arachchige tosses this up and Shakib takes the bait, goes for the big slog sweep but gets too far under it 73/417.3 Scooped straight to Chandimal! This was a slower ball, 120kph, and Dinusha walks across the crease and looks to scoop this, but the connection is poor. Chandimal scoots back and takes an easy catch 104/813.4 Hasaranga strikes! And he gets his fellow skipper! This was on a good length, and Shanaka only manages to top edge this sweep off the bottom of the bat for the keeper to take an easy catch. Hasaranga then pulls out a brilliant hopping celebration! 87/514.4 Ramped straight to third man! Galle are folding fast here! This was a short of a length ball on off and quick. Najibullah hangs his bat out and looks to uppercut this but he can't get enough on it to beat the man stationed at third man 90/615.1 And the one-leg hop celebration gets another outing! This was a good length ball outside off, and the attempted slog sweep is simply chipped straight to Angelo Mathews and midwicket 93/7Extras12 (lb 3, w 9)TOTAL123/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.15)Did not bat: T ShamsiFall of wickets: 1-38 (Litton Das, 4.3 ov), 2-39 (Sohan de Livera, 5.2 ov), 3-45 (Lasith Croospulle, 6.2 ov), 4-73 (Shakib Al Hasan, 11.1 ov), 5-87 (Dasun Shanaka, 13.4 ov), 6-90 (Najibullah Zadran, 14.4 ov), 7-93 (Seekkuge Prasanna, 15.1 ov), 8-104 (Sonal Dinusha, 17.3 ov)
