Amir to Udana, out Caught by Rajapaksa!! Gone. Six and out. Fifer for Amir. Dream spell for the Pakistan pacer. Fuller outside off, Udana slices it to extra cover. Sitter for the Galle skipper. Udana c Rajapaksa b Amir 21(10) [4s-1, 6s-2]

Amir to Udana, SIX, wow! What a strike. Udana dismisses it over mid-wicket for a huge six

Amir to T Kaushal, out T Kaushal Run Out!! Misses to connect this length delivery. But Udana wants strike, so rushes across and calls his partner through for a bye. Kaushal takes the gamble, but Azam Khan quickly rifles the throw to the bowler. Amir hits the target to catch the batsman short of his crease. T Kaushal run out (Azam Khan/Amir) 0(1)

Amir to Qais Ahmad, out Caught by Gunathilaka!! Fuller length within the stumps, Ahmad wanted to flog it over long-on. Couldn't get under it and also came off the cue-end. Hits it towards long-on, Gunathilka takes the catch, thinks he's going over the ropes. So tosses it back, comes back into the field of play and holds onto it. Qais Ahmad c Gunathilaka b Amir 5(4) [4s-1]

Amir to Qais Ahmad, FOUR, Ahmad connects and carves it over point. A widish full delivery from Amir, Ahmad reaches for it and putss it in the gap. Amir looks skywards and knows he's made an error

N Thushara to Udana, FOUR, Udana is fuming. Thinks this should've been a no-ball for height. Similar delivery like the one he bowled a couple of balls ago. Fulls toss into the body, Udana is too good to miss out on these freebies. Tonks it over long-on. 14 from the over

N Thushara to Udana, SIX, friendly full toss and Udana swats it over cow corner. Yorker doesn't yield for Thushara and pays the price

Amir to T de Silva, out Caught by Walton!! The ball is following Walton everywhere today like a magnet. Another one bites the dust for Colombo and both set batsmen perishes in the same over. Fullish outside off, Silva gets it off the cue-end and mistimes it towards long-off. Walton steps forward and cushions it onto his chest. What an over this is turning out to be from Amir. T de Silva c Walton b Amir 27(17) [4s-1 6s-2]

Amir to Bell-Drummond, out Caught by Dhananjaya Lakshan!! Amir breaks the partnership as Bell-Drummond departs six short of his half-century. First ball into his new spell, bangs in a slower short delivery outside off. Bell-Drummond couldn't get any distance, skying it up to sweeper cover. Lakshan judges it perfectly near the ropes and clings onto it. How much will this hurt the Kings? Bell-Drummond c Dhananjaya Lakshan b Amir 44(36) [4s-3 6s-1]

Jayasuriya to T de Silva, SIX, it started with a six and ends with one too. Jayasuriya misses his length, pitches in the zone for Silva to free his arms. Dumped over sweeper cover

Jayasuriya to T de Silva, SIX, launched over extra cover. Silva will look to up the ante from now onwards and here's a sample. Chips down, makes room and reads the off-break. Picks his spot and earns a maximum

Dhananjaya Lakshan to T de Silva, FOUR, bowls it on the pads and Silva gleefully glances it past the short fine leg fielder. Easy-peasy for the southpaw, Lakshan being generous there

Jayasuriya to Bell-Drummond, FOUR, Bell-Drummond biscets two men in the deep on the leg-side with a fuss-free glance off his pads. Utilized the pace, it was the low full toss and got the desired outcome. Five singles and then a boundary to ruin the over

Sandakan to Russell, out Caught&Bowled!! Massive, massive scalp for Sandakan and Galle. Third wicket for the Chinaman bowler, who finishes off a brilliant spell. Russell could've played safe here by knocking this delivery to see off Sandakan. But Russell being Russell here. An ugly cross-bat mow attempted which results in a top edge. It's spiralling down, Sandakan keeps his eyes on the ball and calls for it. Pouches it safely. The KIng's prospects off a strong finish has been dented. Russell c and b Sandakan 11(9) [4s-2]

Sandakan to Russell, FOUR, pulls his length back and Russell shows no mercy. Sits back and hacks it wide of long-on

Sandakan to Russell, FOUR, top edge and falls in no-man's land. Wrong 'un from Sandakan, nicely wooed Russell to play across the line. Russell's shape goes for a toss as he slices it and it lobs away wide of backward point for a boundary

Sandakan to Russell, no run, phew. End of the drama. Let me tell you what transpired here. A loopy delivery from round the stumps outside off, Russell wields his bat hard and couldn't connect. It hits the keeper's wrists, pops up in the air and the leg-slip fielder snatches it. An appeal follows but the umpire shook his head. It turned out to be the correct call and Galle lose their review

Sandakan to Priyanjan, out Caught by Sahan Arachchige!! Sandakan has struck again for Galle. Two wickets in two consecutive overs for him. Anticipated Priyanjan to use his feet, so gave some flight to this wrong 'un. The batsman wasn't near the pitch, still went through with the loft. Terribly miscues and holes out to long-off. Priyanjan c Sahan Arachchige b Sandakan 5(7)

Rajapaksa to Bell-Drummond, FOUR, horror end to the over. Shortish, too much of width and Bell-Drummond makes sure he dispatches it. Gets deep in his crease and unfurls a rasping cut between short third man and backward point

Rajapaksa to Bell-Drummond, SIX, short and that's been clobbered over deep square leg. Not a big boundary, so inspite of Bell-Drummond not getting lot of meat on this one, he ensured that he hit it with the wind

Sandakan to Mathews, out Caught by Walton!! Mathews is livid with himself. Reckons he should've got more bat. Lovely tossie from Sandakan, sucking the batsman to play the big shot. Mathews is unable to clear long-on with his swipe as Walton grabs his second catch. Timely wicket for the Gladiators and Sandakan is jubilant. They also take the time-out. Mathews c Walton b Sandakan 11(9) [4s-1]

Rajapaksa to Bell-Drummond, FOUR, flogged straight down the ground. Pitched in the hitting range, Bell-Drummond gets a smidgen lower and picks out the safest spot in the ground

Sandakan to Mathews, FOUR, incredible wristwork from Mathews. Shuffled across a bit, manipulates the field by slamming it right in between long-on and deep mid-wicket

Sandakan to Bell-Drummond, wide, chuckles all around. Sandakan wanted to outsmart Bell-Drummond as he stepped out of his crease. Threw the googly wider of off, Bell-Drummond quickly treks back to saftey. Anyway, it's a wide

Amir to Chandimal, out Caught by Walton!! Amir works out Chandimal with a short delivery and yells out a loud roar. This is the wicket Galle needed because Chandimal was just starting to cut loose. Banged in short, it rears up uncomfortably at the batsman and also gets big as Chandimal shapes to pull. Couldn't control it and skews it to the right of mid-wicket where Walton takes a smart catch. Chandimal c Walton b Amir 35(20) [4s-4 6s-2]

Dhananjaya Lakshan to Chandimal, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Chandimal. He doesn't want to let Lakshan settle. Landed fuller outside off, Chandimal doesn't go full-throttle here. Only times it through the line and hits it over mid-off. It came off the sweet spot and will clear the ropes

Dhananjaya Lakshan to Chandimal, SIX, Chandimal picks the slower ball and murders it over mid-off. Feasts onto by getting low in time and then boom!

Dhananjaya Lakshan to Chandimal, FOUR, Chandimal gives the charge to negate the swing and slices it wide of backward point. Not where he intended as his bat face turns in his hands at the point of contact and as a result, he lost his shape. It was risky and also was in the air, but just wide of the fielder

N Thushara to Chandimal, FOUR, same template as his previous over. Digs it short and wide, gets into trouble. Chandimal reaches out and slaps it powerfully through the packed off-side field

Dhananjaya Lakshan to Laurie Evans, out Lbw!! The bowling change doing the trick for GG. Lakshan strikes with his first ball. Banana swing for him as this came back in a long way. Evans's head was falling away and he doesn't gauge the movement as well. Wants to flick it away, misses it and gets struck in front. Superb review from Bhanuka and Evans walks away with a sheepish smile. Laurie Evans lbw b Dhananjaya Lakshan 7(7) [4s-1]

N Thushara to Chandimal, FOUR, loses his radar and hurls it wider of off, Chandimal throws the kitchen sink and crunches it between point and cover. First real blemish from Thushara

Amir to Chandimal, FOUR, "Noo" grunts Amir as he slides the slower delivery down leg. Fine leg inside the ring and Chandimal gets inside the line to tuck it very fine of the fielder

Amir to Laurie Evans, FOUR, glorious from Evans. Shade fuller from Amir, very pacy and it's drifted on the pads. Evans is happy to clip it effortlessly through the vacant mid-wicket region. Fluid timing and no stopping these
