Shanaka to Saim Ayub, out Stumped!! Brilliant from Kusal Mendis. He has got a wicket out of nothing. The thick inside-edge on to the pad rolls back wide of leg-stump, Saim Ayub doesn't know where the ball is and moves forward, tries to get back but the bat is in the air when Kusal Mendis with a lunge breaks the stumps with his right hand. He was so quick to gather the ball and lunged at the stumps. Some respite for Sri Lanka. Saim Ayub st Kusal Mendis b Shanaka 20(18) [4s-4]
