Shanaka to Azmatullah, out Bowled!! Dragged on! This is a massive moment in the game. Omarzai is one of the in-form batters for Afghanistan and he departs early. The expression in the dugout gives you the picture - Trott closes his eyes. Short of length delivery and at Shanaka's pace the ball does not come on, Omarzai is a tad early into the pull and all he manages is an under-edge onto the stumps. Back to back wickets and Afghanistan are tottering here. Azmatullah b Shanaka 6(4) [4s-1]
Shanaka to Azmatullah, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Omarzai opens the bat face and guides it towards third man
Chameera to Azmatullah, 1 run, back of a length around off, Omarzai plays it with soft hands to the off-side and crosses over
Chameera to Azmatullah, FOUR, dropped! Kusal Mendis flies to his right and parries it away. That should have been two in two for Chameera. How big a miss would that be? Back of a length delivery and Omarzai has a loose waft, the outside edge goes to the right of the keeper and Mendis dives across, attempts to take it with one hand and deflects it away to third man. Nissanka was in a deepish slip/ very short third region. Would the ball have carried to him? We will not know..
