    13.3 Confusion between the wickets! Short on off, taps this straight to cover. Marsh relays to the keeper. Asalanka took a few steps from the non-striker's end responding to the tap and run call before selling out Nissanka, who was stranded halfway down the track. Out by 10 yards when the bails came off. 97/3
    1.5 Skies a pull, it's taken at midwicket by Marsh! Cummins banged it in around fifth, Mendis looked to drag it to the leg side with an aerial pull. Couldn't reach out far enough, ended up getting it off the bottom. Cummins is chuffed. 6/1
    11.3 Warner is a magnet at long-off! Fullish length on fourth stump, shovels this aiming to go over wide long-off. But Warner tracks 25 yards to his left and does a bunny hop to take a catch above his head, but this time he's five yards inside the rope and doesn't need to flick it back into play. Deserved reward for not being able to take credit for a catch on the previous effort last over. 75/2

    14.5 fullish length on fifth stump, goes hard at this and skies a drive that swirls toward third man. Cummins comes off the rope 15 yards and takes a catch sliding forward on his knees. 106/4
    15.6 full on middle, skies a slog swirling over square leg. Wade shuffles out from behind the stumps and waits an eternity for the ball to come down before lunging to his left to soften the catch. Wasn't easy, regardless of having the gloves on, but he made it look so. 111/5
    17.3 follows up the bouncer with a length ball on seventh stump, Hasaranga's footwork is all over the place backing away from leg again and flails at this, getting a toe edge through to Wade reaching up to his right for a simple catch. 120/6

    4.1 Pacers create pressure, Theekshana comes in and capitalises! Invites the drive by tossing it up, was on the stumps. Warner made room and drove it hard. It hovered low in the air and Shanaka went low in front to take it. Warner looks up in disappointment, Theekshana charges as he celebrates 26/1

    8.3 Lofted, it's gone up not far... taken at long-off! Pitched up, courageous after the six off a similar ball last over. Gets it around off, Marsh swung through. Got it off the bottom, was taken comfortably. 60/2
    12.2 slower ball lands back of a length on fourth stump and is yanked to deep midwicket. Bandara is stationed on the rope this time and there's no juggling involved as he does a bunny hop reaching above his head to claim this and lands inside the rope, balancing beautifully to keep his feet inside without needing to resort to a self-flick relay. The third umpire is now having a look but this is all kosher. The danger foot was the initial right foot on landing but he landed on his toes and kept his heel from pressing downward which might have touched the rope had he let it go backward. 89/3
