END OF OVER:50 | 10 Runs 1 Wkt | SL: 303/7 | RR: 6.06

What a little gem of an innings we have seen today from Chandimal, his century was very well deserved and held the Sri Lankan innings together. Shanaka helped Sri Lanka with some late innings fireworks and they will feel confident with the score that they have posted. Even though the Irish bowlers had the best of the conditions they couldn't make it count. Plus they weren't able to stem the runs either. Interesting to see that there wasn't a Maiden bowled in the innings.
So we will start again in 30 minutes at 3:30pm when Ireland will begin their chase of 304 to win.
