    14.4 Nissanka's laboured innings comes to an end! Looks for the big sweep, but he's done in by the extra bounce as this pitches on middle and straightens. Top edge, and it's straight to Emon at deep square leg 69/2
    3.1 Edged and gone this time! Madushka was not comfortable at all in his short stay, and this delivery was a real tester. Tanzim got this this to seam in and some extra bounce as well. Madushka looks to fend it away, but it catches the shoulder of the bat, as Shanto pouches it well in the slips 13/1
    45.4 Kusal cannot believe it! Top edge and gone! Shamim has bowled a certified long hop here, Kusal could have put this away anywhere. But he's just top edged the pull. Shamim though has a lot of work to do, he runs back and holds on well to one falling over his shoulder. Kusal gets a hero's ovation on his way back 255/6
    20.6 big lbw shout and that's given! Looks pretty good too! That was against the run of play for sure. Did that stay a touch low? I think maybe Kamindu misjudged the length there. He tried to pull a delivery that was pushed through at the stumps, and missed completely. Mehidy and Jaker appealed straight away, and the umpire did not hesitate to raise the finger. Kamindu doesn't review either. Plumb. 100/3
    40.3 He goes for that six and perishes! This was another low full-toss, and he looks to hack this over midwicket, but ends up getting a top edge to hole out in the deep. End of a very important knock by the Lankan skipper 224/4
    44.6 length just outside off, goes back and across to work this through midwicket. Oh dear he's gone! Liyanage has gone so deep in the crease he's stepped on his stumps. Liyanage realises before anyone else and begins to walk off 249/5
    46.5 Held on well at cover! And it's Shamim once more. Wellalage charged out and tried to loft this over the offside, but it just goes straight up. Lot of work though for Shamim as it's another one falling over his shoulder, but he judges it perfectly 259/7

    13.3 holes out to deep square leg and Dunith is pumped. This was another flatter one, pitched quite full, and Emon gets low into a huuuge slog sweep. The length isn't there though, and he can't get under it. Comes off the bottom half of the bat, and Nishan Madushka makes good ground to take a fine running catch. 62/3
    2.6 No need to review this! Stumps are disturbed! And Asitha is absolutely pumped, proper send-off for Tanzim. This was a searing inswinging yorker. It rifles into Tanzims toes before ricocheting on to the stumps. That was an absolute corker of a delivery 19/1
    3.5 Chameera matches Asitha in spades! Stumps disturbed once more! This one pitches on off, and nips in. Shanto doesn't know if this is going away or coming back. He pushes at it away from the body and ends up getting an inside edge to the top of off stump. That was a jaffa 20/2
    32.2 Is this the game?! Chameera has produce an absolutely world class delivery here, right through the set Hridoy! Good length on off, and this has seamed back in off the wobble seam. Towhid has limited foot movement and leaves a massive gap between bat and pad as he pushes at this. The ball careens through and clatters into the stumps 153/6
    20.6 holes out to long on and Dunith has his second! Miraz ran at this ball, which Dunith had given some air outside off. He doesn't quite get to the pitch, and the bowler has beaten him in the air as well. Janith Liyanage runs in to take a good low catch, sliding his body nicely underneath that chance. 105/4
    27.1 it's Shamim who's beaten this time. This is a slider I think, flighted beautifully to get the batter over-reaching. It beats the outside edge and Shamim comes out of his crease briefly, and Kusal breaks the stumps. But has Kusal taken the bails off while the batter is out of his ground? The third umpire is also trying to decide if Kusal had the ball in his gloves when the stumps were broken - Shamim is definitely out of his ground. Enough evidence that the ball was touching Kusal's gloves when the bails came off, so that is given out. Great bit of keeping from Kusal, who hasn't had the best time behind the stumps in the last couple of months. 124/5
    38.5 Bang! Sri Lanka are on the verge! Full, quick and straight. Jaker was always looking to go across the line, and Asitha knew it. This crashes into off stump, as Jaker misses an almighty swipe 182/9
    34.4 Edged and Chameera has another! Back of a length outside off, 146kph, pitches on the angled seam and nips away. Extra bounce is what does Tanzim in though, as he has a waft at it and gets a healthy edge for Kusal to take a simple catch 162/7
    36.4 Sri Lanka keep chipping away! It's the slower one from Asitha that does the job, rolls his fingers over it and it pitches on leg and moves away. Taskin goes back to work this onside, but can only drag it on to his stumps. Jaker goes on his haunches at the other end and looks down defeated 171/8
    39.4 But this time finds deep midwicket, as Sri Lanka seal an emphatic 99 run win! Goes for the slog sweep into the same area but only finds the man patrolling the ropes. Sri Lanka win the series 2-1! 186/10
