2.5 a confident appeal for lbw, and given. Kusal consults his partner, and decides to walk back. Binura swung this ball into Kusal, and landed it as a yorker. The ball kept swinging in, and struck Kusal on his toe as he also seemed to be falling over while looking to flick 28/1

10.3 Up goes the finger! Full and straight, and Udara misses his flick. Udara has a chat with his partner, and doesn't bother with a review. Umpire gave it out immediately! This just seamed in slightly from outside off, and Udara plays down the wrong line. Great time for Neesham to strike, just as Kandy were hoping to build momentum with Udara's fifty up. Replays confirm that was hitting middle stump, with impact in line as well 82/4

3.2 mid-on takes a sliding catch. Atal falls early as well. He looked to half-heartedly heave at this length ball outside off, but got it off the bottom of the bat. Samarawickrama did well to move and slide to his left, and complete a low catch 29/2

3.5 another loud appeal for lbw, and given again. The batters discuss... and Phillips reviews. Mahmud bowled an inswinging yorker-length ball, which ended up hitting Phillips' front toe on middle. He tried to jam his bat down but missed. I think this one could be heading down the leg side too, just like Kusal's, given the sharp inswing. Oh, it's umpire's call on hitting the side of the leg stump, according to ball tracking! That's two wickets in the over for Mahmud as Kandy slide in the powerplay 31/3

17.6 Oh, that's some way to get out! But Neesham gets Mathews. Yorker outside off and Mathews backs away jams his bat down trying to squeeze it out on the off side, but ends up hitting it to backward point where Sahan takes a good catch. No fifty for the Kandy captain 164/6

16.3 That's a high full toss and Moeen has a swing. Miscues it and it goes to Rubin Hermann at long-on, who grabs it. But was that below waist-height? Yes it was, and Moeen's cameo comes to an end. That's a crucial wicket for Binura Fernando and Colombo Kaps 147/5

19.1 Oh, that's a very soft dismissal and Kandy's innings is coming to a tame end. Back of length outside leg, but it's bowled really slow. Shankar is early into the pull as he looks to help it over short fine but ends up lobbing it straight to the fielder 173/8

18.6 Oh, he's dislodged the off-stump with a perfect yorker! Seam-up, and it squeezes under Hasaranga's bat to hit the base of off, as Hasaranga jams his bat down in vain. Mahmud was crucial in the powerplay, and now he's finished his spell with a third wicket, and removed a batter who can get some sixes away 173/7

19.4 Another slower short ball down leg, Hemantha again goes for the pull and this time it lobs towards short fine again but doesn't carry. However, he is slow to get back in the crease after initially taking off for a run and the direct hit at the striker's end does him in! Hasan Mahmud contributes to another dismissal! Clumsy from Hemantha 178/9

19.6 Loopy yorker around off, pace taken completely off, Sanketh has a big swing and gets a top edge. Loops up behind the wicket and Kusal Mendis mops up. Colombo Kaps will now need 180 to win this 179/10

1.5 bowled him!! The leg stump comes off. Thushara keeps swinging them in, and gets a wicket for his consistency and his tight lines. This ball is sharply heading in, and pitching on a short of a length on leg. Hermann looks to punch, but is beaten by the pace and the ball skidding through. There's a gap between his bat and pad, and the ball smacks into leg stump 3/1

1.6 knee-height full toss on middle, and clipped to deep-backward square leg. The batter pick only a single even as the fielder has to run and slide to stop the ball - was it because Kusal isn't 100%? Yup, in fact, Kusal is walking off. So he's retiring hurt two overs into the chase 4/1

2.6 chipped to mid-off. Mathews' dibbly-dobbly bowling works for Kandy. He swings the ball in, and bowls it on the fuller side on off. Sadeera looked to loft it through the line, but gets it off the bottom of the bat. He holds the pose even after being caught, perhaps wondering how he couldn't clear the fielder 8/2

9.6 got him!! A sharp catch by Udara. He's up leaping in celebration. The ball stayed low off a short of a length, and he did well to keep his eyes on the ball while moving to his left. Hasaranga bowled it short and outside off, and Kamindu went for the cut, but got an outside edge 67/4

7.5 Hasaranga breaks the surging stand. McD stands in disbelief. In fact, the third umpire will confirm if it was a clean catch. Hasaranga bowled it very full on off, and McD lofted it straight back to long-off. The fielder there moved forward and took the catch safely as the ball dipped on to him. So McD is gone 56/3
