- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.3 And Shadab has got the big 'un! This was in the slot and Dickwella connects with the sweep, but just doesn't get the distance. Only finds the man at the deep square leg boundary 77/25.2 Hales is gone! Slower one outside off, backs away and looks to smack this over cover. Ends up edging it to short third, who bobbles it briefly but holds on in the end 71/18.5 Shadab you beauty! This was the dream wrong 'un! There was loop and dip, draws Seifert into the front foot stroke and just spins it exquisitely between bat and pad. Stunning stuff 86/56.4 Oh my what a calamity! Bhanuka lunges forward and looks to drop and run, but he's nearly halfway down before realising that Seifert has made no effort to run this. In fairness, don't think the run was at all on there as they were taking on Phillips of all players at short cover. Bhanuka is stranded 77/38.1 Fantastic review! Good length googly, defended on the back foot. Oh and what's this? They've reviewed for lbw. Think they feel this was pad first. Sadeera was the one pushing for this, and it's a great call. This has just clipped the top of the back pad before hitting the bat. And it's three reds. Shadab turning yet another game on its head! 85/418.6 And finally the grab hold of one! It was another quick short one, this time the pull just loops up to midwicket who makes no mistake. Arachchige departs after a very well made 35 173/710.3 Shadab has another! Or does he? They review. This was the googly tossed up on off. Pretorius looks to sweep and misses. It's struck him low on the front pad. Question is, was this struck outside the line? Pretorius is in fact walking without even waiting for the ball tracking, as he sees that there's no bat involved. He stops after a while just to confirm the bad news - will take a miracle to save him here I think. And no miracle, it's crashing into the middle of middle! 94/619.4 And now he's gone! Another cutter, but this time he can't find the gap. It's flat batted straight to long-off 179/819.5 good length cutter, moves across the line and swings away. Misses and they look to run the bye to the keeper, but it's a direct hit and Tharupathi is well short 179/919.6 A team hat-trick to end the innings! Length ball swatted straight to long-on as Galle end on 179 for 9! 179/10Extras9 (b 2, w 7)TOTAL179 all out (20 Overs, RR: 8.95)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Alex Hales, 5.2 ov), 2-77 (Niroshan Dickwella, 6.3 ov), 3-77 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 6.4 ov), 4-85 (Janith Liyanage, 8.1 ov), 5-86 (Tim Seifert, 8.5 ov), 6-94 (Dwaine Pretorius, 10.3 ov), 7-173 (Sahan Arachchige, 18.6 ov), 8-179 (Isuru Udana, 19.4 ov), 9-179 (Malsha Tharupathi, 19.5 ov), 10-179 (Zahoor Khan, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.6 Zahoor with a corker! This is the perfect yorker, 137kph, swinging and dipping in towards off. It's completely done in Gurbaz and Zahoor is on his bike in celebration 57/32.4 Ripper and Daniel walks! This was similar to the one in the last over as it gripped and spun away from off. Daniel comes forward and it brushes the glove on the way through to Dickwella. It's a huge appeal with Dickwella even calling for the referral before the umpire could raise his finger! 25/14.3 Waseem's charmed innings comes to an end! This flicked from the front of the hand on a length and straight. Waseem makes room and looks to go inside-out, but ends up getting an edge that loops gently to short third 43/29.3 You can't keep Udana out of the game! Good length wide of off, has Sadeera reaching for it and it's a thick edge that flies down to the man at deep third 81/414.3 Phillips goes big but not big enough! This was angled in and Phillips looks to go with the spin, but he just can't get enough on it. That man at long-on in business once more 117/712.5 Castles him! This is beautifully done by Arachchige. The last one gripped and spun, but this one from a similar area just goes on with the arm. Thisara goes back looking to cut and is beaten as it just skids through 106/513.5 Shadab find long-on! Tossed up on the stumps, Shadab looks to get low and cross-bat this over long-on but he just couldn't get the distance. Galle keep chipping away 115/619.6 And Galle win it! This is sliced straight up and Wellalage falls at the death as Colombo succumb to a 7-run defeat 172/918.6 What an incredible throw from the deep! This yorker was squeezed to deep square leg and Chamika is scurrying back for a desperate two, but it's the sub Sooriyabandara that picks it up and fires in a gun throw. Galle have been fantastic in the field today, must be said 164/8Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL172/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Did not bat: M PathiranaFall of wickets: 1-25 (Shevon Daniel, 2.4 ov), 2-43 (Muhammad Waseem, 4.3 ov), 3-57 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 5.6 ov), 4-81 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 9.3 ov), 5-106 (Thisara Perera, 12.5 ov), 6-115 (Shadab Khan, 13.5 ov), 7-117 (Glenn Phillips, 14.3 ov), 8-164 (Chamika Karunaratne, 18.6 ov), 9-172 (Dunith Wellalage, 19.6 ov)
