    2.3 Gurbaz is gone! Fantastic grab by Mathews at mid-on as he moves quickly to his right before adjusting late to his left and snaffling it inches from the ground. This was the scrambled seam from Chameera on a good length and angled in, Gurbaz looks to get his feet out of the way and flick this but he just can't keep it on the ground 20/2

    1.6 This one sticks though! Back of a length outside off, and Daniel as a wild swipe at it and gets another thick edge. This time though Chandimal makes no mistake 16/1

    8.4 Hasaranga pops off as Waseem has to go! Huge appeal and given! This was tossed up on leg, and Waseem goes for the swipe across the line but misses. He's struck on the front pad, but the question is did it straighten enough? This was the leg break. And it's a good decision as it's three reds upon review! 98/3

    10.5 And now Sadeera is gone! And what a soft dismissal this is. It's a standard off break, pitching on off and turning in. Sadeera though plays all around this looking to work it onside. It ends up sliding past his pads and clipping leg stump 111/5

    8.6 Hasaranga has another! Phillips is gone for a duck. This another googly tossed and Phillips reaches out for the drive, but he leaves a gap between bat and pad and Hasaranga saunters right through. The stumps are disturbed! 98/4

    19.2 Top-edged and held on well at backward square leg! Another full toss, straighter this time. Thisara looks to go across the line but ends up edging this straight up. It's high in the Kandy sky, but young Pavan Rathnayake settles under it well and holds on nicely in the end 190/7

    16.1 Edged and gone! Another wide one - possibly might have been given as one too if Shadab left this alone - but he ends up slashing at it and gets a cue-end on through to the keeper 149/6

    7.6 Holes out at deep long-on! And it's the big one! Looks to drag this sweep from outside off, but he gets the toe-end. He gets it far too straight as a result and the man at long-on holds on well 74/3

    4.2 Fletcher is gone! Fletcher looks to come down the track but Wellalage does him in the air as he slows it up. It grips and turns away sharply as well, as Fletcher gets nowhere near the pitch of it. It's a wild heave in the end and Sadeera completes a quick stumping 37/1

    4.5 Wellalage has a second! The left-armer is definitely getting some grip and turn here. This one sticks in the surface and pops up outside off. Haris looks to cut but can only end up chipping this straight up to backward point. What a spell this has been from Wellalage so far 41/2

    8.5 Gone stumped! What's happened here? The keeper is off on a celebration, as Kamindu looks to have swept and missed. They look to have gone upstairs for a stumping, as Sadeera whipped the bails off in a flash. This certainly looks tight. Is there any boot behind the line? Not in my opinion, and Mendis is gone! 80/4

    14.4 Excellent grab at long-on and Kandy have lost both set batters! Hasaranga doesn't get a hold of this as he looks to hack this over the onside. Muhammed Waseem is the man running in from the long-on boundary, and he completes a really good catch, diving forward on the run. Colombo are clawing themselves back into this game 146/6

    13.6 Binura gets the breakthrough! His barrage of slower deliveries pay off. Another wide, length cutter. Mathews loses the bottom hand as he looks to swing this over long-on. Gets the toe-end of the bat on it, as Chamika holds on at long-on 140/5

    15.2 And Shanaka is gone as well! Surely that's game over! Slow through the air, but it skids through after pitching to crash into the stumps. Shanaka looks to slog this sweep over deep midwicket but misses it all ends up 146/9

    14.5 Shadab has two in two! Good length legbreak, but it skids through. Too good for Agha who is caught on the crease poking at this to no avail. Off stump is rocked as Colombo strike once more 146/7

    14.6 And he's done it! This one is the googly as Pavan walks across his stumps to work it onside. But I have to say this looked dead on as he was rapped on the front pad in front of middle. They review but this is in hope more than anything, replays show it crashing it into middle! What a game changing over this has been from Shadab! Wow 146/8

    15.5 And that is that! Another arm ball has done the trick. Skids through off a good length, Rajitha gets forward but plays for the turn that isn't there. It raps him on the front pad and this looks to be crashing into the stumps. The third umpire confirms it, and Colombo win by 51 runs! 147/10
