3.6 Chopped on! Slower through the air ball with extra bounce off the pitch on the off stump channel, rocks back and attempts to carve it down, connects the inside part of the bat and drags it onto the leg stump. Massive wicket! 49/2

0.5 Massive appeal and given! That looks close to me. Floated a fuller length ball on the stumps with a hint of turn, attempted to play the reverse sweep and strikes the inner thigh pad in front of the stumps. Rogers has a quick discussion with Harper and opts to send it upstairs. Ultra Edge confirms no spike as the ball passes the bat and the gloves. Ball tracking is coming up next, but Rogers is already on his way towards the dugout. All three reds and hitting the off stump. Gallants lose their first wicket and the review too! 7/1

18.1 Caught at deep square leg! Pace off shortish length ball, plays the swivel pull shot and doesn't get quite hold of it, swinging it to the right of the sweeper fielder there. Liyanage rushes to his right side, covers his ground in time and completes the catch 171/6

9.6 Cleaned him up with a beautiful delivery! Length ball on the stumps with a hint of turn, enough to deceive Kalupahana, who goes down on one knee to play the slog sweep against the turn, misses the length and the ball crashes onto the middle stump 96/3

10.4 Neesham strikes! Done him with the slower delivery! Good length ball outside the off stump channel, pace off ball and Karunaratne walks across to play with hard hands, connects the sticker part of the bat and chips a dipping catch back to the bowler. Neesham dives in and pouches it, excellent game awareness by the Kiwi all-rounder! 103/4

17.4 Sahan finds the breakthrough! Sprays it wide outside off as he sees Arachchige step out of the crease early; the batter fails to reach for it, wide of his hitting arc and misses the line of the ball. Samarawickrama does the rest behind the stumps, clips the bails off after gathering the ball. 169/5

1.5 Javed draws first blood! Pitched up front on the stumps, 142.8 kph, plays the front foot straight drive and the bat face rotates after striking the ball, chips it to the cover area. Tharindu Ratnayake jumps to his right, extends his right hand and somehow manages to pouch the catch. Hermann can't believe it; standing there, shell-shocked in absolute disbelief. Forget about Hermann, even Ratnayake looks like he can't digest what just happened! 17/1

6.3 Floated a length ball on the stumps with a hint of turn. Samarawickrama premeditates the reverse sweep and mis-times it towards short third. Malinga tracks back and keeps his composure there, times his jump at the edge of the circle and completes the catch. 63/2

10.4 McDermott departs! Floated a fuller length ball around off, gets down on one knee and whacks it with the inside part of the bat towards long on. He knew trouble was invited as soon as he mis-hit the ball. Rogers rushes to his left side and gobbles it up near the ropes. 93/5

6.6 That's plumb and Mendis bites the dust! Back of a length ball pitching around the fifth stump line and spins in a wee bit, keeps a bit low and Mendis is caught inside the crease, plays the stroke late and misses the length. The ball strikes the back pad in front of the stumps, and a relatively easy decision for the on-field umpire in the end. 65/3

8.4 Nawaz keeps on hurting the Kaps! Generously flighted a length ball around the fourth stump channel, deviating enough to beat Bandara's wild swing of the bat as he dances down the track early and gets nowhere near the line of the ball. Easy piece of glovework by Harper behind the stumps. 74/4

13.1 Well, that should be the game for the Gallants! Slower through the air on a length, gets underneath the line of the ball and whips it away, only managing to sky it high towards midwicket. Two fielders converge and Rogers calls for it, covers plenty of ground and dives in full stretched under the night sky to gobble it up. Brilliant stuff! 121/7

11.3 flighted a length ball on the off stump line, played the paddle sweep and did not connect, struck the front pad. The umpire looks convinced and raises his finger. Liyanage reviews it straightaway. Seems like no bat or glove involved, yeah, confirmed by the Ultra Edge now. That's plumb as it gets. Pitching in line, impact is in line and hitting the middle-off stump. More trouble for Colombo Kaps! 100/6

17.5 Straight up in the air and that's taken! Slower through the air ball on the stumps line, advances down the track and goes for the big hit across the line, miscues it into the night sky. Malinga settles underneath, holds on to it using the reverse cup technique and then collapses on the turf. A sigh of relief for the Gallants as they managed to get the wicket of the dangerous Tharupathi. 173/8

18.5 Rathnayaka has holed out at deep midwicket! Pace off shortish ball on the stumps channel, plays the swivel pull shot and fails to generate enough power to clear the ropes. Karunaratne moves a few steps forward and grabs it comfortably. 181/9

19.4 Low full toss ball on the off stump line, shuffles across and clips it aerially towards deep square leg. Sahan called for the second run straightaway, but Mondol seemed busy watching the ball, failed to respond in time and left both batters stranded at the same end. A nightmarish outing overall for Mondol on his LPL debut, hanging his partner out to dry and bringing a chaotic end to the Kaps' innings today. 188/10
