8.47 pm Colombo ends on 150 for 9. Galle will be thrilled to have held them that low. Outside of Bell-Drummond's 70, nobody else scored more than Udana's 19 at #9. Will be a real test of the league leaders to be able to defend a meager total after Russell failed to fire. Join us shortly for the reply.

Arachchige to Udana, OUT, juicy full toss, but Udana might need to hit the weight room! Should've gone for six but can't muscle it beyond the fielder at long-on. Easy catch to end the innings three yards in from the rope.
