- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.4 arm ball, trapped in front! But Athapaththu immediately - and vigorously - reviews. She must think it was bat first, but England look pretty convinced. Perfect length to trap the SL captain on the crease, and it's pad first, the bat jammed behind the knee roll as it comes down. Hitting middle and leg, Dean's got her! Brilliant one-two punch from the offie, after tossing the previous one up 53/32.6 pitched up in the channel, nicked off! Indeterminate prod from Gunaratne and the ball grazes the outside edge through to Jones. Audible contact and up goes the finger, Cross breaks through with her first ball to anyone other than Chamari Athapaththu 26/17.3 pitched up and edged behind! Filer has offered very few in the batter's half but when she does it is right on the money, full of a length and seaming as Harshitha tries to get forward without success, feathers a drive through to Jones for a second catch 41/216.4 short ball, top-edged... straight to fine leg! Karunaratne has struggled to get the ball off the square, this time it flies a long way, only to pick out the fielder on the rope. Davidson-Richards gets rewarded for a tight spell 76/417.4 floated full, chipped back to the bowler! Done by the drift, slow and dipping and she plinks it off the inside half of the bat it straight back for Dean to grab as she tumbles to her left in her follow through. SL five down 78/518.4 Dragged on! Davidson-Richards pulls her length back slightly while going for a straighter line with an off-cutter. Sanjeewani goes to play a cross-bat shot, decides for something straighter and ends up edging onto her stumps! 79/624.6 Gone! Or is it? Ranasinghe reviews after sweeping and getting struck on the pad in front of middle...ball passes under bat and gloves cleanly, predicted to clip leg stump! Umpire's call, which goes with the "out" decision given by standing official Jasmine Naeem 95/729.5 Inevitable! Smart bowling from Filer, full and straighter than the previous 4 deliveries, Prabodhani has a swing and edges through to Jones 102/830.5 Full, outside off, bit of a googly and defended back to cover... and now then... we've got a check for a run out. Kate Cross fields and throws at the nonstriker's end where Kulasuriya was being a bit absent-minded returning to her crease... and she's gone! She's watched the ball hit the stumps with her bat hovering over the line but not grounded! Astonishingly bad cricket from Sri Lanka! Great arm from Cross! 106/9Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL106/9 (30.5 Overs, RR: 3.43)Did not bat: I RanaweeraFall of wickets: 1-26 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 2.6 ov), 2-41 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 7.3 ov), 3-53 (Chamari Athapaththu, 9.4 ov), 4-76 (Hansima Karunaratne, 16.4 ov), 5-78 (Kavisha Dilhari, 17.4 ov), 6-79 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 18.4 ov), 7-95 (Oshadi Ranasinghe, 24.6 ov), 8-102 (Udeshika Prabodhani, 29.5 ov), 9-106 (Achini Kulasuriya, 30.5 ov)
