    7.1 Lizaad has another! And it's the big scalp of Harper! Short scrambled seam again, as Harper miscues the attempted pull. Ends up chipping a simple take to a backpedalling Chamindu at mid-on 85/3
    0.4 And third time's the charm! Rogers losing his patience and charges out to mitigate the lateral movement but Shiraz smartly drags the length back a touch. Seams away again, and this time finds the edge on the wild swing, as the keeper holds on easily 1/1
    5.3 Top of middle! Lovely stuff from Lizaad. It's the old scrambled seam that does the trick. Back of a length and Asalanka goes for the cross bat swipe. It seams in and deflects off the top of his thigh on to middle stump. Unfortunate from the batter's perspective, but just what Jaffna desperately needed 76/2
    13.3 Outstanding at backward point! This is exactly the sort of magic you need in a high-scoring affair like this! Short and this was cut away hard, seemingly clearing the infield, but Bhanuka at backward point has leapt high and to his left and held on incredibly with both hands! Yes, you read that right, it was Bhanuka Rajapaksa! 160/5
    8.6 Edged and gone! Wellalage strikes - and it's with his leg break! Length outside off, as Arachchige looks for the cut, but only manages to feather one through to the keeper 97/4
    14.5 And is this the game?!<>/b> Wide full toss again, Shanaka looks to carve this away but it's more height than distance as Wellalage settles under it at deep cover. This full toss was quite, high and they check the replay. But it's just on the margin as Shanaka has to go, and with it you imagine Galle's chances in this game 165/6
    16.1 Bhanuka is having a dream day in the field! Another outstanding take! This low full-toss around off was sliced high over mid-off, as Bhanuka runs back and judges this to perfection as it falls over his left shoulder. Makes no mistake, and holds on well as he tumbles to the floor. Nawaz is gone 176/7

    17.4 Taken at wide long-on! This was a length ball and he looks to pull this into the space between long-on and deep midwicket, but only finds the man in the deep. Nearly a fumble but he holds on comfortably in the end 190/8
