Kasun Rajitha41922.25160000
2.1 to Asad Shafiq, Top edged to mid-on! Soft dismissal, as Shafiq is rushed by this short ball. The batter goes for the pull, but only manages to loop an easy take to Mathews in the circle.. 6/1
16.5 to PADLR Sandakan, chops it on! This was a slower bouncer and Sandakan, making room, is taken by surprise. He ends up swinging wildly at this and only manages an under edge on to the base of the stumps. 99/8
Suranga Lakmal402716.7593001
12.5 to Iftikhar Ahmed, Top edges the slog sweep and Nabi makes this look comfortable! This was a pace-off length ball from Lakmal and Ifthikar gets on one knee and looks to slog this over deep midwicket, but only gets the height. It goes high into the Colombo sky, and Nabi rushing in from the deep takes the catch near the ring. 63/5
Mohammad Nabi402025.00110100
5.3 to BKG Mendis, And Mendis' dour vigil comes to an end! Huge wicket for Colombo. This was angled away and Mendis opens the face to run it down, but only manages a faint edge through to Chandimal, who holds on well. 14/2
9.3 to MNK Fernando, Taken brilliantly at long-on! Nuwanidu comes down the track and looks to clear the man in the deep, but he uses every inch of the ground available and takes this just inside the ropes.. 40/4
Dominic Drakes302117.0041020
6.1 to LU Igalagamage, Short and taken well at fine leg! Drakes drags this down and Udara goes for the pull but only manages to top edge the pull towards Lakmal at fine leg, who runs forward and takes a good catch falling forwards. 16/3
Jeffrey Vandersay1013013.0010110
Benny Howell201738.5071110
15.2 to SSD Arachchige, And now he holes out! This time he can't get a hold of the leg side slog as he'd like, and can only hit straight down long-on's throat. End of a very fine innings.. 94/6
15.6 to Wahab Riaz, Cleans him up! A beauty from Howell! This looked to be a cross seam delivery, perhaps little slower as well, that just dipped in front of Wahab. He was thinking of sweeping a full toss, but it dipped into a fine yorker. Crashes into middle and leg.. 96/7
17.5 to Imad Wasim, But Asalanka makes up for it here! My word! This was slapped in the air down the ground and Asalanka runs to his right and takes an outstanding diving catch to his right. 106/9

Nuwan Pradeep302117.00132140
2.4 to LD Chandimal, Phenomenal catch! Chandimal looks to go big again on the onside but slices this straight up in the air, and my word does this go high! Nuwanidu has time for a cup of tea as he waits for this, but just as it drops he realises he's misjudged it and has to dive forward. Somehow though, he manages to hold on.. 16/1
Nuwan Thushara302307.66104020
Wahab Riaz3.502606.7893001
Imad Wasim401814.50101000
8.1 to KNM Fernando, And Madushka's edgy innings comes to an end! This was tossed up on off, and Madushka goes for the slog sweep over square leg, but he can't get the distance and Sandakan takes it on the boundary line. 44/3
