- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 Vociferous appeal for a caught behind and umpire doesn't raise the dreaded finger! Well, the entire team looks quite convinced and they have decided to use a review. Pitched short and quite far away from leg stump, he stayed in his crease and tried to tug it away. Ultraedge shows slight deflection as the ball passes the glove and they are already celebrating, high-fives all around and the umpire changes the on-field decision.. Binura has got the big fish, flummoxed him with a short ball down the leg side and he got himself in a tangle 20/116.1 Has he got all of it? No, he hasn't. Miscues a skier and that's a massive breakthrough. Lured him with an extra bit of flight on middle, it was a googly that he didn't pick. Springs down the track and heaves it over mid-on but Dhananjaya in the deep settles under the skier and pouches it comfortably. A timely scalp for Dambulla. Noor wheels off in jubilation 107/411.3 Fuller and drifting on the pads, he plants his front leg and slugs a sweep but finds Ross at midwicket as he gobbles it up gleefully, didn't have to move a muscle. Shot was on but he didn't place it in the gap. Success for Dhananjaya! You could sense a wicket was around the corner as the innings has come to a grinding halt and the batters were trying to break free 75/212.2 Over the wicket, short and nips back markedly from outside off, thumping his pads and eliciting an lbw appeal. Umpire not convinced and they decide to take a second opinion. He is pegged back as he tried to defend, hits him him on the knee roll. A conspicuous gap between bat and ball, three reds on the big screen and that's a spectacular review! Two wickets in quick succession and Dahani gets his first 82/319.3 Full, driven with an open face and he plonks it straight to Liyanage (sub) who takes the catch down his throat, diving forward and making sure he doesn't fluff it. They have got the dangerous customer out of the equation 126/717.4 Now that's a stunning yorker angling in from outside off and he got ruffled by the pace, rapped his pads and it ricochets down the pitch, he was looking at square leg and had no idea where the ball was, find himself out of his crease as Dahani quickly gathers the ball and chucks a throw at the stumps, runs him out! 121/518.5 Knocked him over! Slower again, stops in the pitch, on middle and leg and it sneaks through the gate. Cleverly changes his length and pace again, he plays down the wrong line and drags it back onto the stumps. 126/6Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL129/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 2.6 ov), 2-75 (Towhid Hridoy, 11.3 ov), 3-82 (Priyamal Perera, 12.2 ov), 4-107 (Charith Asalanka, 16.1 ov), 5-121 (Thisara Perera, 17.4 ov), 6-126 (Hardus Viljoen, 18.5 ov), 7-126 (David Miller, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.1 Gets the big fish! Lobbed up on a length and it zips through the surface with no turn, goes through his defence and clatters the stumps as Fernando loses his bearings. A much-needed breakthrough for Jaffna who have been hit all around the park. They have an opening now 76/19.1 Round the wicket, floats it up on a length on middle, rocks back and biffs a pull but it goes straight to Perera at short midwicket who pockets the catch low down. Sharp reflexes and he hangs onto it brilliantly. 85/2Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL132/2 (16.2 Overs, RR: 8.08)Fall of wickets: 1-76 (Avishka Fernando, 8.1 ov), 2-85 (Kusal Mendis, 9.1 ov)
