    7.4 gone this time! Given a bit of air on a full length on middle and off stump. It seems that Cox is deceived in the air and is cramped for room too. He has a swipe at it anyway but only manages to shank it straight to short mid wicket, where Perera does the rest! Massive moment in the game! 63/1
    8.1 Zaman gets Daniel! Back of a length delivery on middle and off stump that seems to hurry onto the batter a touch. Daniel has a short-arm jab at it but because he is cramped for room, he can't generate enough power. The ball arrows towards long on, where Fuller completes a fairly regulation catch! 65/2
    14.2 and now Viyaskanth gets Rajapaksa too! Length delivery on middle and leg stump, and this one seems to be pushed through a little quicker. Rajapaksa advances but is not to the pitch of the ball, and is hurried into the stroke as well. The ball pings off the higher part of the bat towards long on, where the fielder settles himself and takes the catch 96/5
    10.6 holes out to deep mid wicket! Dug into the track outside off stump and Raza's eyes light up. He picks up the length early and smashes it. The only problem, though, is that he hits it straight down Wellalage's throat at deep mid wicket. Just the wicket the Kings were after, and now, Dambulla are in a spot of bother! 75/3
    13.2 soft dismissal! Given a bit of air on a full length outside off stump. Shanaka looks at the flight and tries to carve it over extra cover. The ball, though, is perhaps a touch too full to get that much elevation. In the end, Shanaka hits it straight to Wellalage at extra cover, who does the rest. The Kings keep chipping away! 90/4
    18.1 Mendis bites the dust! Low full toss outside off stump. Mendis tries to be a little too cute by shuffling across his stumps and attempting the paddle. In the end, though, he only manages to lob it tamely towards short fine leg. Dambulla are nine down, and in real danger of being bowled out! 110/9
    15.1 edged and taken! Theekshana has another! Length delivery outside off stump that seems to skid through. Chathuranga dangles his bat without any conviction and gets an outside edge that flies towards Dhananjaya de Silva. He fumbles at the first time of asking but manages to gobble up the chance at the second go! 97/6
    15.5 three for Theekshana! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that sticks in the surface and bounces a touch extra. Madushanka throws his hands at it but never gets on top of the bounce, meaning that he slices it straight to backward point. Dambulla are crumbling now! 99/7
    16.6 Viyaskanth has three as well! Given a bit of air on a length outside off stump. Noor, because he does not have much option, has an almighty heave at it. The ball, though, grips and spins away a touch, eventually skewing off the outside edge and nestling into Malik's palms at extra cover 102/8
