- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.1 Massive appeal and the finger goes up! Low full toss ball on the stumps channel, attempts to play the reverse sweep and thuds the front pad. Did he get any bat on it? Harper opts to review the decision. Well, he is walking off after seeing the replay on the big screen. It looks like his bat got stuck on the ground as he missed the length. Ball tracking is coming up next. Yeah, all three reds and hitting the off stump. 124/29.4 Zahir Khan finds the breakthrough Tossed up a widish fuller length ball outside off, wrong'un ball and Nurul tries to send it downtown, connects the toe-end of the bat towards long on. Hasaranga comes around and completes the catch. 81/117.6 pace off fuller length ball in the slot, moves across and tries to play the lap scoop, mistiming the stroke to short fine leg and Fernando tracks back to gobble it up 182/3Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL208/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.4)Fall of wickets: 1-81 (Nurul Hasan, 9.4 ov), 2-124 (Sam Harper, 13.1 ov), 3-182 (Dasun Shanaka, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 Colombage strikes and finds the breakthrough! Tossed up a length ball on the pads, plays the slog sweep but doesn't get enough on it to clear the ropes, finds the deep midwicket fielder near the ropes. 103/110.2 Caught at long on! Fuller length ball in the slot, it was there to be hit. Hasaranga gets underneath the line of the ball and hoicks it to deep midwicket area, and Karunaratne makes no mistake this time 125/212.2 Colombage keeps on picking up wickets! A fraction short with a hint of turn, Moeen Ali attempts to heave it away over the midwicket area with the turn but doesn't generate enough power to clear the fences there. Ratnayake times his leap in the air and gobbles it up nicely near the ropes. 135/312.6 Caught and bowled! Back of a length ball on the stumps, hung up in the air. Phillips moves away from the wicket and punches off the back foot, poking it straight back to the right of the bowler. Colombage dives to his right side on his follow-through and pouches the catch. 137/417.6 yorker ball on the stumps, digs it out to deep square leg for a single. Mathews is retired hurt now, struggling to walk back to the dugout. Vijay Shankar walks in as the new batter. 185/4Extras15 (lb 2, nb 1, w 12)TOTAL214/4 (18.5 Overs, RR: 11.36)Fall of wickets: 1-103 (Pawan Sandesh, 7.5 ov), 2-125 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 10.2 ov), 3-135 (Moeen Ali, 12.2 ov), 4-137 (Dale Phillips, 12.6 ov), 4-185* (Angelo Mathews, retired not out )
