    2.2 Inside edged onto the stumps. Wild hack across the line from Gunathilaka, trying to hit square from a back of length. Line was around fifth and he shaved it off the bottom-half. Replay shows it was a slower one too, spun in a bit 13/1
    3.1 Another pull leads to a wicket, Perera tries to lift it from around waist-height. Was a channel ball and Mendis stood leg side and tried dragging it a bit, ended up lobbing it right up. Dolly for Hasaranga, who is chuffed. Back of length working beautifully for Kandy, this one might have decked away too 18/3
    2.6 Pull skied, and Mathews goes back from midwicket and takes a goodie. He was side-tracking if you will, running behind while looking back but with the body slanted to the right. Watched it till the end and finished safely. Was a shortish ball that took the edge. Might've hurried him a bit 17/2
    4.1 LBW call, is it too straight? Ump thinks so, Kandy review. Length ball shaping in a bit, beat the flick and hit close to the left-edge of the pad. Off-stump was fully visible. What does ball tracking say? Landed just outside off, came in and... is hitting leg stump! This is very much a DRS era call. Hridoy may have gone a touch across but Michael Clarke, on air, had the right instincts. Hridoy's feet were planted but the body fell over. 25/4

    12.6 Played on! Anti-climactic end this for Chandimal. Goes back to punch the carrom ball that is bowled on a length around off through covers. Gets an inside edge that hits his front leg and then ricochets onto the stumps. Massive wicket this because he looked to be on song 111/4
    0.2 Thushara snakes the ball to hit middle and off. Fletcher charged early and Thushara held onto the fuller side of length. The batter came close to the pitch but couldn't adjust to the wicked away swing that beat the attempted straight loft. Bat wasn't near ball in fact and Thushara flies in celebration 1/1
    3.1 And the Fizz strikes! Done for pace. Shortish ball first up, Haris tried to pull it from flank-height. Couldn't swivel in time and spliced it a few feet far in front. 26/2
    9.4 Fernando makes amends. Didn't judge this one perfectly, was back-tracking and had a team-mate converging, almost missed it as it came down but reached out in front and fell back whike bucketed the skier. Was a full ball that was slow, Mendis didn't pick it and went into the drive way too early. Thank goodness for second chances, eh? Not for Mendis on this occasion of course 82/3
