    1.1 What a start by Dahani! Over the wicket and right on the money; bowls it shorter in length and gets the ball to nip back sharply and got it to rise alarmingly off the deck, he hurriedly pokes at it and the keeper gobbles it after a bit of juggle. Dahani went for 71 yesterday; this is a great start 4/1
    3.3 Chopped on! Dahani has the last laugh. Hits the hard length and offers some room on the off-side, was swinging sharply, tries to flash a cut and gets a thick inside-edge onto the stumps 23/2
    17.6 He ends the over on a high, traps Hendricks lbw, that is stone dead, a full-toss that sudden dipped and took the batter by surprise as he looked to flick it leg-side, he is in a bit of pain as well. It kept low and curled a touch, hits him on the knee-roll and he is in visible discomfort but he has done his job, makes an impact right away after joining his squadmates. He's one player who seldom plays ugly shots, watching him is like watching poetry in motion; very aesthetically pleasing 147/5
    7.1 Zingers are alight! Over the wicket, dangles a delicious legbreak and turns away to off-stump, quick through the air, everything right about this delivery as he looked to fine sweep it and played down the weong line, Dambulla are in a spot of bother 49/3
    16.3 Mujeeb punches the air jubilation as Raza slices one straight to the fielder stationed at deep cover, gobbled down his waist 132/4

    7.4 Caught and bowled! Around the wicket, dropped short and angled wide of off, almost near the tramline, bit of a brain freeze moment, reaches out and then forces it across the line back to Dinusha who hangs onto the catch brilliantly, exactly Dambulla needed to stymie the run-flow, meeting fire with fire, crucial wicket because he was looking very dangerous, walking back to the hut and it will be a strategic timeout 79/2
    4.3 held his shape, waited a touch and then lashes the full ball outside off to mid-off, larruped it but no real oomph behind the shot, just a lazy and a run-of-the-mill lift and couldn't clear the fielder; Dambulla are roaring in delight as they were desperately after his wicket 40/1
    14.6 Bowls a gem of a delivery, an absolute pearler on a shorter length that spins back viciously and hits the top of off, excellent delivery, he danced down to bash it downtown and misread the line and didn't account for the spin as well 149/3
    15.2 bustling in, dug in short again on middle, gets big on him as he tries to break free the tangle and ends up lifting it to mid-off; covers a lot of distance and takes a screamer while diving and sliding and pocketing the catch low, could there still be a twist in the tale? 150/4

    15.3 Over the wicket, zipping across hard length in the corridor, probing line and length, too good for thee, couldn't resist the temptation, stiff hand and he pokes at it, edges it to the keeper, excellent delivery from the tearaway quick, draws the edge, this is getting a little spicy now, a few more wickets and we will be in for a thrilling ending. Chameera on a hattrick!!!! 150/5
    16.3 Taken in the deep familiar tale, good length and angled into middle, slower through the air, lifted away to long-off, regulation catch in the deep, not quite under it 157/6
