W
Rehan Ahmed to Asalanka, out Caught by Brook!! That's a really unfortunate dismissal. Was a tossed up delivery by Rehan Ahmed and Asalanka went for the sweep. Gets a top edge that flicks the helmet and lobs straight over the keeper's head. Brook who was stationed at leg slip calls for it, settles underneath and takes a safe catch. Asalanka so unlucky. Asalanka c Brook b Rehan Ahmed 17(16) [4s-2]

Adil Rashid to Asalanka, no run, this time England go up for the review! Is the impact in line? Or has this hit the glove? Yes, it has. It has hit the wristband. Was a legbreak by Adil Rashid and Asalanka went for the sweep. Couldn't make contact and got hit on the glove. UltraEdge confirms the same and England have lost a review
