it's a four over cover to finish, but Kings don't mind it. They win by 15.

low full toss again, ankle height. It's a top edge, but oh, it's dropped. Lakmal gets under it but spills it.

low full toss on off stump, humped to long off for a single

yorker. Bhanuka backs away and tries to hit to off, but Lakmal follows him and Bhanuka misses. They run a bye to Gurbaz though

fullish, almost a yorker. Captain Angelo Perera turns it around the corner to square leg, but he's out trying to get a second! He needed to get back, but it's too good a throw from deep square leg. Warriors just have too much to do in this last over, you suspect.

He's out, finally. And importantly, Seales has not conceded a run off the last three deliveries. This is slow again, and a length ball outside off. Lewis tries that mow that to leg, but gets it off the top half of the bat. It goes high and deep midwicket gets under that one. End of a somewhat tortured knock in the context of this match

slower ball, and Lewis is still struggling. He tries to smash that over leg and misses. This has been a poor innings

holes out! Big wicket. Mendis is down the track to this slower ball. Tries to launch that over deep midwicket, but he's through it a little early, and is caught well inside the rope. He seemed the likeliest to get Warriors close, out of the batters who were in

slower ball, but that's down leg again. Mendis backed away, and Seales went too far down leg.

slower one outside off, Lewis doesn't try too much, just shovels that towards wide long on and gets a single

down the track to this slower ball, and Mendis drags this to deep midwicket, and gets only a single.

Mendis with a lovely hit to square leg. This is an attempted yorker on the stumps. Mendis gets the leg out of the way and swings it square on the legside. Super hit. Kings still under pressure.

wide waaaay down leg.

a repeat. Yorker again, follows the backing-away Lewis, and though he jams his bat down, can't get a connection

yorker. The batter backs away, but Lakmal follows him, and gets it in the blockhole. Lewis can't connect.

Lakmal hits Mendis on the pads from around the wicket, but that's sliding down leg I think. Batter had tried to hit this fullish delivery to leg but missed. Jaffna Kings have reviewed this/b>, though. It's an optimistic shout. Almost impossible to get an lbw from that angle, and it's missing the wickets comfortably.

reverse sweep straight off from Kamindu Mendis. Gets a connection and it goes fine of short third man for four

Lakmaaaaaal! He's got the big wicket. The big, big, big wicket! This is a superb yorker, pitching on middle, crashing into leg. Powell could probably have stayed on his feet for that, but gets low to try and slog-sweep that almost, and it's too good a ball for that shot. knocks leg stump over. What an innings this has been though. 61 off 19 balls. The best of the tournament so far.

whipped, helicopter-like. This is full and on the stumps, struck hard to deep midwicket. Malik comes across to cut that off athletically
