- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.5 But Howell has the last laugh! This is fuller in length from Howell, wide of off. Gurbaz goes to drive this straight down the ground, but ends up slicing it straight in the air. It goes high and it's swirling in the Kandy sky, but Dickwella calls for it and dives forward to hold on. 35/110.5 Straight down long-on's throat! Full ball on off and Avishka Fernando tried to chip it down the ground, but doesn't get enough bat on it and Naveen-ul-Haq takes a simple catch 85/38.3 And Naveen gets the breakthrough! This was a quicker short ball, and it rushes Randika on the pull. He only manages to top edge this straight to the man running in from deep midwicket. 74/217.2 Cleaned him up! Goes full and straight, angled into the batter from around the wicket. Samarawickrama goes for a big hoick and misses and the ball clatters into leg-stump 142/419.6 Dropped by the keeper but there's a run-out! Perera went for the heave again to a length delivery and ended up slicing it up high in the air. Dickwella didn't quite settle under it and ended up dropping it. The batters complete three runs while the fielders scrambled to collect the ball and it eventually came back to Drakes who got the direct hit to prevent a fourth 178/5Extras6 (b 1, lb 3, w 2)TOTAL178/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 3.5 ov), 2-74 (Ashan Randika, 8.3 ov), 3-85 (Avishka Fernando, 10.5 ov), 4-142 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 17.2 ov), 5-178 (Thisara Perera, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.4 Off stump pegged back! Dickwella was all over the place and now he pays the ultimate price for that uncertainty. This was a good length ball on middle and off, that just straightens off the seam. Dickwella puts forth a tentative forward defence, and this goes through bat and pad. 0/11.3 Well doesn't matter, as he holes out deep square leg! This was on a good length and probably there for the slog sweep, but the batter finds the sole man on the leg side boundary 5/24.5 Castled! Fuller by name, fuller in length, 140kph pitching just outside leg and angling towards middle and off. Paranavithana goes for the old fashioned heave over mid-on but gets nowhere near it. 29/37.2 What an absolute corker! This a dream delivery from Asitha. This was 140kph, pitching just back of a length in the channel outside off. Has Chandimal playing back to it, but then it pitches and just seams in viciously. Chandimal has no idea what's hit him, as this crashes into off stump! 37/56.4 Traps him in front! This one skidded on after pitching on middle, Asalanka goes for the sweep and misses. The ball raps him on the front pad, and he doesn't bother reviewing as this looks to be crashing into middle and off! 35/410.1 Chipped straight to deep midwicket! Tossed up full on off and he looks to clear the ground, but it comes off the toe end of the bat and it's an easy catch for Fernando 48/612.2 Confusion between the batters and Stars go seven down! Mathews backs away to a full delivery tossed up on middle and dug it out to mid-off and called for the run before changing his mind. Drakes had sprinted towards the striker's end and could not return in time. The all-rounder was in good touch and let his frustration be known 67/719.1 Taken at deep midwicket! Slower bouncer outside off and it stops on him and he pulls it straight to the Malik in the deep.
