Dunith Wellalage to Phil Salt, out Caught by Dushan Hemantha!! Salt knew he was a goner. The moment the ball left the bat, Salt crouched and put all his weight onto the bat, almost anticipating the inevitable. He looked tired over the last 3-4 overs and this was waiting to happen? A loose shot. Dropped short alright, but Salt didn't generate ample timing and power on the slap. Got more height than distance and picked out the man at long-off. A superb knock nonetheless. Phil Salt c Dushan Hemantha b Dunith Wellalage 62(40) [4s-6 6s-2]

Dushmantha Chameera to Phil Salt, SIX, pure timing! Banged in short at the armpit, Salt wasn't ready for it, but he did well to just show direction with a one-legged whippy flick. So good was the timing that it went alll the way for a 69-metre maximum

Dushmantha Chameera to Sam Curran, out Caught by Kamil Mishara!! Dushmantha Chameera is usually known for his pace, but he has worked a lot on his variations in the last couple of years. Here is the reward. A slower full ball wide of off, Sam Curran tries to loft him down the ground for a maximum and ends up chipping it off the cue end of the bat. Mishara jogs back at long-on and takes it comfortably. Sam Curran c Kamil Mishara b Dushmantha Chameera 11(11) [6s-1]

Harry Brook lbw b Dunith Wellalage 14(7) [4s-1]
