- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.6 Jangoo at short leg grabs that! Sheer delight among the home team players as Nissanka falls flicking. Length ball outside off and coming into Nissanka. Just a shade of extra bounce while Nissanks preps to play the shot, and all he has done is played it into the hands of the catching fielder near him on the leg side 2/19.3 given out! Full on the stumps and Madushka wants to flick but he doesn't get bat on ball. Misses the shot completely, and the ball hits him on the shin. Madushka doesn't even bother taking a review because that's full. Alzarri strikes in his first over 42/225.1 rips a full delivery through Chandimal and crashes it into the woodwork! Shamar has bowled this full length all day, and this was practically a yorker, pitching near the crease as Chandimal plays a big straight drive, and going on to smash off stumo. Chandimal was beginning to look pretty good after battling his way through the first session, but Shamar has found a way through. 110/49.4 two in two! Alzarri comes around the wicket to the left-hander. He bowls a length ball marginally outside off and Kamindu tries to feel bat on ball. The defensive shot gets the outside edge, and it's a low catch at first slip 42/325.5 Two in an over for Shamar! Mendis drives at a full wide one and sends an outside edge into the lap off second slip. Could have easily let that one go, but was tempted by the juicy length Shamar was offering up. On this kind of surface, the odds are going to be against you early in your innings, however. Sri Lanka in serious trouble now. 110/5Extras8 (lb 5, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL181/5 (41.5 Overs, RR: 4.34)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Pathum Nissanka, 0.6 ov), 2-42 (Nishan Madushka, 9.3 ov), 3-42 (Kamindu Mendis, 9.4 ov), 4-110 (Dinesh Chandimal, 25.1 ov), 5-110 (Kusal Mendis, 25.5 ov)
