Dhananjaya to Shakib, out Seifert Run Out!! It's all happening out there! Seifert's struggle has come to an end with a run-out. Was a flatter delivery on off-stump, Shakib just knocked it towards point and set off for a single. Seifert hesitated for a second and that meant that he was found short of his ground at the striker's end despite putting in a full-length dive. Seifert run out (Avishka Fernand/Kusal Mendis) 14(17)

Dhananjaya to Rajapaksa, out Caught by Dahani!! And he holes out! There was pressure building up from the previous over and at the other end and it's a soft dismissal for Rajapaksa in the end. Was a tossed up delivery on off-stump, Rajapaksa came down the track but couldn't quite get to the pitch of it as he looked to drive. Ended up spooning it towards deep cover and this time Dahani made no mistake after running in. Rajapaksa c Dahani b Dhananjaya 48(34) [4s-5 6s-2]
11.3
Jayawickrama to Seifert, no run, length delivery on middle-leg, Seifert looks to reverse-sweep and misses, gets struck on the arm. There's a stifled appeal for leg before and they end up going for the review. No bat but ball-tracker confirms it was going down leg by a fair margin
11.2
Jayawickrama to Rajapaksa, 1 run, cries of catch and it's been put down! Floated up full on off-stump, Rajapaksa leans in and sweeps, it takes the top-edge and flies down to long-leg where he fielder puts down a dolly!

Binura Fernando to Shevon Daniel, out Lbw!! Decision overturned and he's on his way! Fernando nailed the yorker on middle and went up in appeal straightaway. Daniel looked to flick that through leg but just couldn't lay bat on ball as UltraEdge confirmed, it snuck past the inside edge and struck him flush just above the ankle. There was no saving him after that, three reds on ball-tracker and Daniel has to go after a decent knock. Excellent review from Dambulla. Shevon Daniel lbw b Binura Fernando 33(26) [4s-2 6s-2]
8.2
Binura Fernando to Rajapaksa, 1 run, full toss on off-stump, Rajapaksa chips it down to long-on, 50-run stand comes up between these two as well

Dahani to Croospulle, out Bowled!! Gone! Straight through him! Good length delivery outside off nipping back in just a touch off the deck, Croospulle goes for an expansive drive down the ground and he plays it on the up, he completely misses it and the ball beats the inside edge before making a mess of his stumps.

Dahani to Shevon Daniel, FOUR, it's not pretty but it'll do! Back of a length outside off, Daniel just throws his hands at this and gets enough to slice it away up and over cover, few bounces and it's into the ropes

Binura Fernando to Shevon Daniel, FOUR, and he breaks the shackles! Just a touch fuller outside off, Daniel stands his ground and slaps this over mid-off, doesn't time it very well but gets enough to clear the in-field and it races away to the ropes
