- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 Up goes the finger! That's a big wicket, and Nissanka is walking back after consulting with his partner. This is a length ball angling in to pitch around off and then it straightens. Nissanka was swinging across the line but misses and is hit on the back pad. Height could have been the only issue, but he opts not to review 11/114.1 Cleans him up! Keeps the ball slower and gets the reward does Jayasuriya. The length ball goes on with the arm as Mendis lines up a slog. He misses and sees his leg pole pegged back. Jayasuriya is elated as he should be 117/38.1 And does he make an impact or what? Udana with a back-of-hand slower ball on a hard length that was also cramping Rossouw for room. He swivels and pulls but hits it straight to the deep midwicket fielder. Rossouw was looking really dangerous, but he has to go back for 40 off 22. Massive strike for Galle Marvels 72/217.5 Another top edge and this time the catch is held. Slower delivery angling across Avishka, who looks for his favourite no-look slog again. Can only manage a top edge that balloons straight up for Rajapaksa to take a simple catch 153/516.4 Pretorius returns and removes the captain. On-pace length ball outside off. Asalanka looks to go up and over, completely mistimes his loft and Rajapaksa running back from extra cover takes a good catch 139/419.1 Nails the cut but straight to deep point. Back of a length ball outside off, he backs away and gets excellent timing on his shot but couldn't find the gap. The fielder catches it right on the edge of the boundary ropes. 168/619.4 Edged and Pretorius gets his fourth. Slower bouncer outside off, Allen looks for a ramp, but the ball catches his gloves straight through to the keeper. 170/7Extras4 (b 1, w 3)TOTAL177/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Pathum Nissanka, 2.1 ov), 2-72 (Rilee Rossouw, 8.1 ov), 3-117 (Kusal Mendis, 14.1 ov), 4-139 (Charith Asalanka, 16.4 ov), 5-153 (Avishka Fernando, 17.5 ov), 6-168 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 19.1 ov), 7-170 (Fabian Allen, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.6 Finally, Hales is out! Allen deceives him with a ripper. This pitches on off and spins away sharply as Hales comes down the ground again. Mendis does the rest! Good end to the powerplay for Jaffna Kings, but with 70 runs off the first six, Galle Marvels won't be complaining too much either! 70/22.2 Goes for the scoop again and Kusal Mendis gobbles it up and goes up in appeal. This is not given by the umpire. And then with Hales outside his crease, Mendis tries to throw down the stumps at the non-striker's end. It's been reviewed, and it did go off the glove! Dickwella has to go! Hales was caught outside his crease and he may have been out had the review not shown Dickwella to have gloved it! It's all happening here in Colombo! The odd thing is, it was Dickwella who asked for a review, despite being given not out! 29/116.2 Goes high, very high and long on pouches it comfortably. Top spinner on middle, Liyanage looks to go downtown, mistimes his loft and the sub fielder makes no mistake. 162/3Extras10 (b 2, lb 6, w 2)TOTAL181/3 (18.1 Overs, RR: 9.96)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Niroshan Dickwella, 2.2 ov), 2-70 (Alex Hales, 5.6 ov), 3-162 (Janith Liyanage, 16.2 ov)
