Hussain Talat to Shanaka, out Caught by Mohammad Haris!! Two in two for Hussain Talat who is on a hat-trick. Short of a length outside off, on the slower side as Shanaka looks to punch it on the rise. Gets a feather and Sri Lanka have lost half their side. Shanaka played a fine knock against Bangladesh like I said before, but he's gone for a golden duck in this match. Hussain Talat is delighted having taken a couple of wickets. Shanaka c Mohammad Haris b Hussain Talat 0(1)
