Nuwan Thushara to Rashid Khan, out Bowled!! Got him! Thushara comes back and gets the big wicket of Rashid. He was appealing for a LBW, Rashid was ready to review but umpire Asif Yaqoob points at the stumps - the ball had rolled back and dislodged the bail. That dipping yorker ala Malinga style, Rashid kneels down and misses the sweep, the ball sneaks under his bat and strikes him on the back thigh before rolling back onto the stumps. Afghanistan would have loved for Rashid to bat till the end but it is not to be. Rashid Khan b Nuwan Thushara 24(23) [4s-2 6s-1]
4.6
Nuwan Thushara to Darwish Rasooli, no run, attempted yorker gone wrong, ends up as a full toss and Rasooli knocks it into the off-side

Nuwan Thushara to Sediqullah Atal, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Thushara on fire. Third wicket for him and second time he has gone through a batters defence. Another absolute peach. Fulish delivery, swings in late and Atal thinks it is there for the drive, he goes for the shot and leaves a gap between bat and pad for the ball to sneak through. The stumps are lit and Thushara has his arms aloft in celebration. Once more credit to Asalanka for giving him the third over. Sediqullah Atal b Nuwan Thushara 18(14) [4s-2 6s-1]
4.4
Nuwan Thushara to Ibrahim Zadran, 1 run, I0$ good length ball on off, Zadran defends with a straight bat, the ball rolls past the stumps and the duo cross over
4.4
Nuwan Thushara to Ibrahim Zadran, wide, I0$ strays down leg, too far for Zadran to connect with the glance
4.3
Nuwan Thushara to Ibrahim Zadran, no run, nearly! I0$ full pitcher and Zadran is drawn into the drive, but his feet are stuck to the crease and he goes searching for it with his hands, the ball does enough to miss the outside edge
4.2
Nuwan Thushara to Sediqullah Atal, 1 run, I0$ swinging into the pads, Atal flicks to deep backward square
4.1
Nuwan Thushara to Sediqullah Atal, no run, I0$ yorker outside off, Atal digs it into the off-side

Nuwan Thushara to Karim Janat, out Bowled!! Jaffa! What an over! Two wickets and just a single off the bat. The promotion to Janat does not work out. Good length ball, lands around off and middle before swinging away, Janat is caught in the crease and he does not cover the movement, gets beaten on the outside edge and the ball crashes into off-stump. He should have been forward to that delivery. Thushara is known to produce such balls with his slingy action, got a good shape on the outswinger and Janat made it difficult for himself by staying rooted on the back foot. Karim Janat b Nuwan Thushara 1(3)
2.5
Nuwan Thushara to Sediqullah Atal, leg byes, 1 run, appeal for LBW. But umpire Virender Sharma is not interested. Asalanka and Kusal Mendis have a chat and decide against the review. Full delivery on leg, Atal misses the flick and the ball rolls off the pad
2.4

Nuwan Thushara to Sediqullah Atal, leg byes, FOUR, poor delivery. That would have been a good delivery to a right hander but not to Atal, down leg and though he misses the glance, the ball deflects off the pad to the fine leg fence
2.3
Nuwan Thushara to Karim Janat, 1 run, very full delivery on off, Janat jams it in front of mid-on and opens his account
2.2
Nuwan Thushara to Karim Janat, no run, I0$ back of a length outside off, Janat punches and picks out cover-point
2.1

Nuwan Thushara to Gurbaz, out Caught by Kusal Perera!! Much needed wicket for Sri Lanka after that expensive over from Chameera. Gurbaz's lean patch continues.. He advances and tries to swing through the line but Thushara had taken the pace off, the outside edge lobs towards short third and Perera takes a good catch over his head. Credit to Asalanka though as he placed him fine and almost at a fly slip region. Gurbaz c Kusal Perera b Nuwan Thushara 14(8) [4s-2]
0.6

Nuwan Thushara to Gurbaz, FOUR, shot! This time Gurbaz gives the charge, makes a bit of room and lofts it over extra cover. He got close to the pitch of the ball and allowed himself the space to free his hands. Not off the middle but the ball runs away to the rope
0.3
Nuwan Thushara to Gurbaz, 2 runs, in the air and safe. I0$ full pitcher and it swings away, Gurbaz looks to loft through the line but the movement foils his timing, skews it over extra cover and the ball drops in no man's land
