- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 And Dickwellas's scratchy innings comes to an end! This one was straighter and angled in. Dickwella is looking to swing his arms, but he's cramped for space here. Ends up just chipping this easy as you like to mid-on 12/14.3 Wellalage strikes straight away! This one was again on a good length on middle, bit of grip and turn as Hales looks to rock back and pull it away. Only manages to slice it straight up in the air, and Thisara makes no mistake at cover with the reverse cup 25/218.2 Shadab hits back straight away! Good length leg break, but this time it's straighter. Seifert goes for the reverse sweep, but he doesn't execute the way he wants. Ends up chipping a catch straight to short third 132/69.2 And now Wellalage has his revenge! This was quicker, 95kph, and fuller on the stumps, as Rajapaksa goes for the reverse sweep and misses. He's rapped low on the front pad and the finger goes up quickly. Only thing that might save him is the point of impact. But despite his review, replays show three reds as Galle lose their third 52/312.5 And Bhanuka's cameo ends as swiftly as it arrived! Wijesundara bowls it full once but this time takes the pace off. Bhanuka looks to go again over extra cover, but this time he slices it and only finds the sweeper in the deep 93/415.3 And the short strategy pays off! Another pace-off bouncer as he rolls his fingers over it. Arachchige gets inside the line and hooks it, but only finds the man at fine leg 109/519.2 And now he's gone! Again good length, slightly wider, slightly slower. Liyanage backs away once more, but this time can only chip it in the air. Angelo Perera at cover does well to hold on as this falls over his shoulder 138/818.3 Gone first ball! Looks to drag this fuller oner from outside off, gets hold of the slog sweep but can't beat the man at wide long-on 132/719.4 Searing yorker! There's the yorker everyone's been clamouring for. This was quick and tailing in, too good for Theekshana, too good for most. Middle and leg are disturbed 138/919.5 Ha! He's only done it again! A tailender's nightmare. Swinging in on leg stump, scorching scorching yorker as Galle are bowled out for 138! 138/10Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL138 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Niroshan Dickwella, 2.3 ov), 2-25 (Alex Hales, 4.3 ov), 3-52 (Sadisha Rajapaksa, 9.2 ov), 4-93 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 12.5 ov), 5-109 (Sahan Arachchige, 15.3 ov), 6-132 (Tim Seifert, 18.2 ov), 7-132 (Isuru Udana, 18.3 ov), 8-138 (Janith Liyanage, 19.2 ov), 9-138 (Maheesh Theekshana, 19.4 ov), 10-138 (Jeffrey Vandersay, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.5 Theekshana though has the last laugh! Gurbaz in multiple minds there on what to do, as he first winds up for a swing across the line but then has to adjust quickly to a quicker yorker from Theekshana. In the end he looks to bring the bat down to block but gets nowhere near it. Huge gap between bat and pad, and the stumps are rocked 60/21.5 And now straight to mid-on! This was fuller on off, and again some movement inwards. Angelo looks to pick this up over the infield but catches it with the inside half of the bat. Seifert makes his way to his right, loses his footing at the last, but nevertheless manages to hold on 14/114.3 And the breakthrough Arachchige does find! Full and straight, almost a yorker as Waseem is caught in the crease. Misses this completely, as it pitches around off and spins in low on the back pad. Would have crashed into the stumps 109/3Extras12 (lb 5, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL142/3 (18.2 Overs, RR: 7.74)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Angelo Perera, 1.5 ov), 2-60 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 5.5 ov), 3-109 (Muhammad Waseem, 14.3 ov)
