Maharoof to Christian, no run, Nearly another return catch for Maharoof, but it has gone down. Pitched up to Christian, who booms the straight drive in the air straight back. The ball was travelling and Maharoof did quite well to adjust and get his right hand out to the ball. But it didn't stick.

Perera to Christian, OUT, Another one bites the dust. Thisara has pinned Christian in front with an indipper. He was looking to get across to middle stump and work it to leg, but the ball burst through to hit the pad. Was it missing leg stump? I want to see a replay of that. Right, Hawk-Eye shows it would have missed leg stump.
