99.5
Vandersay to Smith, out Lbw!! Sri Lanka review for lbw against Smith. This looks close. 80kph, Vandersay attacks the stumps and there's hardly any turn on this occasion. Smith presses forward to defend and gets beaten on the inside edge as he expects the ball to spin away. Flat line on UltraEdge. The impact is in front of off as he gets rapped on the back leg. Here's ball-tracking and it's three reds - hitting off! Successful review and the marathon 266-run stand comes to an end. Smith lbw b Vandersay 141(251) [4s-12 6s-2]

Vandersay to Smith, byes, 1 run, 80kph, turning leggie, spins sharply past the defenisve outside edge of Smith. Kusal Mendis has a shy at the non-striker's end as Khawaja lazily wanders out of his crease. In fact, a direct-hit there would have been curtains for Khawaja! Doesn't hit the target and the batters steal a single. Mendis dismissled Adil Rashid in a similar way in the 2023 WC at Bengaluru
