2.6 to KL Rahul, Dhammika with the breakthrough, there has not been much movement with the new ball for Sri Lanka, there is a bit of it now, as this moves further in to Rahul from a length, and strikes the pad before he can get the bat around, given by umpire Oxenford after a long appeal. 14/1 | ||||||||||
