0.6 to P Nissanka, Taken excellently at deep backward square leg! This is a touch short and Nissanka connects well with the pull, but Isitha Wijesundara runs hard to his right from deep square leg and takes an outstanding diving grab. 4/1 2.5 to RR Rossouw, Skier and taken by Gurbaz! This was a good length outswinger outside off, Rossouw had shuffled his back leg signalling the preemptive nature of this stroke. He looks to heave it across the line but only ends up slicing it straight up in the air. Gurbaz calls for it early and ends up near short third man to take a well judged catch. 18/2
Thisara Perera	2	0	15	1	7.50	5	1	0
4.3 to BKG Mendis, Fantastic seam bowling! This was a good length just outside off, nice upright seam and Thisara gets the movement he's looking for as it nips back in. Kusal goes for the drive on the up but all there is a huge gap between bat and pad, as this one crashes into the stumps. 29/3
Dunith Wellalage	4	0	23	0	5.75	11	1	0
Shadab Khan	4	0	10	4	2.50	17	0	0
6.5 to KIC Asalanka, Gurbaz with a cracker! This was a long-hop down leg, Asalanka could have put this away anywhere. But here he ends up gloving the attempted pull. It deflects on to Gurbaz's glove before popping up to the keeper's right. Gurbaz then dives full length and holds on. 44/4 8.2 to WIA Fernando, Another fantastic grab in the deep! And it's Wijesundara again. Avishka looks to drag this slog sweep from outside off, but only gets the height and not the distance. Wijesundara however has a lot of work to do, scrambling to his right. He ends up holding on after full stretch dive. 49/5 8.3 to FA Allen, And it's tow in two! Another attempted slog sweep, Allen gets a better hold of this than Avishka but it's still not enough. Waseem is the man at long-on and he holds on well overhead, inches from the ropes. Few checks on the legality of the catch, but this one is fine. 49/6 10.1 to DM de Silva, And is this another? Yes I think it is. Stumped! Shadab tosses this up on off, and Dhananjaya misses a hefty slog sweep. The ball bounces over the stumps, but Gurbaz whips the bails off in a flash. DDS is already walking as he knows he didn't drag his back foot back in time. 54/7
Matheesha Pathirana	4	0	20	1	5.00	13	0	0
13.5 to Pramod Madushan, Brilliantly taken on the follow through! That is so, so good from Pathirana. This was a good length slower one on the stumps. Madushan makes room but is early on the stroke and has to check it. He punts it back towards Pathirana who reacts swiftly to his right to hold on well to a fine return catch. 75/8
Isitha Wijesundara	2	0	11	1	5.50	5	0	0
19.6 to E Malinga, Wicket off the last ball! Deserved for Wijesundara after those excellent grabs in the deep. This was full and straight, Malinga looks to swing this across the line. He's struck on the back pad in front of middle and replays show three reds. Jaffna end on 109 for 9. 109/9

2.2 to AK Perera, Finds the man at deep backward square leg! This was just short of a length on middle and leg, Perera looks to just pick this up over the man the in the deep, but he doesn't get the connection he's looking for as Avishka runs in from the boundary to complete the catch. 25/1
