    1.4 appeal for lbw and it's given. It looked pretty straight. Samarawickrama though takes DRS. He was moving around in his crease. Nawaz didn't get fooled by it. Went full and straight. Samarawickrama attempts to sweep, right in front of the stumps. He misses. UltraEdge says no bat involved. Ball-tracker flashes three reds. Colombo lose their opener and their review 12/1
    2.2 Asalanka believes he's bowled him. And the third umpire is needed to see if he's right. Yep. Replays confirm the LED lights going off as a really quick ball, into the wicket, goes straight through the advancing Dabare. He's essentially beaten for pace by an offspinner. Keeper was beaten too. He couldn't collect the ball and was afraid he'd missed the stumping 18/2
    16.3 full on leg stump. Inside-edged onto his pads and they scurry across to attempt a single. Non-striker and Malinga both run towards the batter's end and the bowler picks the ball up and successfully gets a direct-hit! That's out! 158/7
    2.6 caught behind. Mendis is off. Square seam delivery. So it's not meant to turn, even though Asalanka gives it a rip. Mendis goes back to cut. The ball keeps following him. He's cramped. He edges and Harper takes a lovely catch 20/3
    5.3 caught and bowled. Pretty much a half-volley just outside off. Liyanage goes to drive it down the ground. He's looking for four. Except Akif reacts really well in his followthrough. Barely any time to look up and still comes away with a two-handed grab 47/4
    6.1 taken at point. Lovely bowling. He lured Neesham to play away from the body. A nicely tossed up delivery, inviting the drive. Only if he's willing to risk playing way outside the line of his body. Neesham is. Which is bad news because the ball pitches, turns, takes the outside half of the bat and becomes the easiest catch 52/5
    13.2 length ball outside off. Skiddy one, gets onto him quickly, and he's late on the cut. Pops up for an easy catch to backward point 122/6
    17.4 full on middle. Clears the front leg and tries to club it over long off. But he's toe-ended the shot to an extent, and long-off takes a reverse-cup catch over his head 171/9
    16.5 overpitched ball on middle, and mistimed to deep midwicket. They want the extra run but the fielder in the deep - Rogers - beautifully throws the ball in, darted at the stumps on the bowler's end, and he gets a direct-hit too! Top fielding effort from Galle 159/8

    18.5 you miss I hit. Full on the stumps and that rattles the middle stump! Malinga gets the last one and Colombo finish on 176 in this must-win game 176/10
