Shaheen Shah Afridi to Theekshana, 1 run, full on leg and he uses his wrists to place the flick very fine. Protection in the deep though

Sami: "What the heck???? Rizwan has time to throw that and run Hasaranga out im so confused he just said "nah"" -- He didn't grab it cleanly either, taking the relay run-out out of the question

Faheem Ashraf to Theekshana, 1 run, mix up! But Hasaranga survives. Theekshana punches this length ball to mid off and takes off for a single. Hasaranga isn't sure that's the right call so he hangs back. Eventually Hasaranga hares off with Theekshana in the middle, and the fielder Shaheen aims for the stumps at the batter's end. Lucky for Hasaranga that Rizwan wasn't close to the stumps and the throw wasn't a direct hit. He scurries into the crease and SL add one to the total in chaotic fashion
required run-rate now nearly 10.

Faheem Ashraf to Hasaranga, 1 run, fullish ball just outside off and he hammers this off the bottom-half of the bat down the ground. Nearly had enough behind the shot to beat mid-off!

Faheem Ashraf to Chameera, OUT, sliced high up and Faheem does the rest! Back of a length ball, outside off, Chameera goes for a glory shot, and all he does is give Faheem catching practice. Didn't have the skills to control his flat-batted shot. Hasaranga loses another partner

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Chameera, 1 run, low full toss on middle and Chameera looks for a big one. It's mistimed, probably to his benefit, since the ball lands a metre short of long on.

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Chameera, no run, full ball around leg. Slides down leg with the batter letting it go around the corner. Not given wide as the ball stays inside the blue line that's been recently added next to the stumps
