12.45pm Sri Lanka's batters will be pleased with their effort. Their top five made scores of 57, 52, 78, 73, and 48* and kept SL on top through the innings. Mendis and Sadeera played a number of eye-catching strokes, including the sweep and scoop. Here is Mendis: "The first six-ten overs was hard to play. Then the wicket was good and the outfield was fast. The leggie bowled so many googlies and he bowled outside the line of the stumps, so I managed the sweep. I've played the sweep shot all my life and I can play the sweep shot against the leggie. This is a very good score and I think our bowlers can bowl wicket-to-wicket. Maheesh and Wanindu can bowl well." Ali Naseer was the pick of the bowlers for UAE, returning 2 for 44 in his ten overs. We will be back with you for the start of UAE's chase. Cheers
