9.06pm Galle would have taken that at the start of play, but seeing how the innings went Dambulla will also be chuffed with how much they've managed in the end. All credit goes to the young allrounder Chamindu Wickramasinghe who ended unbeaten on a 34-ball 56, including 24 runs off the final over. Before that though it was all Galle, as they throttled the Dambulla batting with their expert lengths. Kavindu Nadeeshan was the pick of the bunch with figures of 3 for 16, but they all did their part. Zahoor was excellent too, right up until that final over. Stay tuned, we'll be back with the chase shortly.
