Was hit hard and flat, but good effort by the all-rounder in the deep. Samit Patel c Hasaranga b Jayden Seales 42(31) [4s-6]

Lakmal to Samit Patel, FOUR, hat-trick of boundaries. A yorker length delivery outside off, Samit Patel plays it late and squeezes it to third man for the third boundary of the over. 16 runs off the 19th over. Can they breach the 170-run mark?

Jayden Seales to Samit Patel, FOUR, smashed down the ground! Full and slow outside off, Samit Patel drills it straight past the bowler and the fielder at mid-off has no chance to stop it either, it races along the carpet at the rate of knots

Hasaranga to Samit Patel, no run, review taken as Jaffna think Samit Patel's out caught behind! Hasaranga and Gurbaz were confident, but there's nothing on UltraEdge. There's a huge gap in fact. Was a leg-break outside off and Patel got beaten as he poked at it. Jaffa have lost a review

Hasaranga to Rajapaksa, SIX, proving to be a match defining knock by Rajapaksa! A googly by Hasaranga, and the batter goes down on his knee to slogsweep this over deep mid-wicket for one of the biggest sixes of the night

Lakmal to Samit Patel, FOUR, looking at Theekshana's reaction, think he might be in contact with the ball and the boundary at the same time. Think his left foot was in contact with the cushions when he tried to flick the ball away following his slide in the deep. Was a short ball outside off and it was sliced through point by Samit Patel

Lakmal to Rajapaksa, 1 run, fifty for Rajapaksa! Flicks the full toss through square leg, brings up the milestone and raises his bat to acknowledge the crowd. Samit walks up to him and gives him a pat on the back too

Hasaranga to Rajapaksa, FOUR, makes room and lofts this flighted delivery over cover. Sweet timing as the ball lands in front of the cushions and it's four runs

Hasaranga to Rajapaksa, SIX, dropped by Avishka at deep mid-wicket, and it's a six as well. This was clubbed away to the deep mid-wicket region by Rajapaksa and the fielder near the fence gets his hands to it, he loses balance thereafter and parries the ball over the fence. Rajapaksa into the 40s and the six also brings up Gladiators' 100

Hasaranga to Ben Dunk, out Caught by Perera!! Ben Dunk departs for a run-a-ball 17, Hasaranga breaks the partnership!

Perera to Rajapaksa, SIX, picks the bones out of it and pulls the short ball over deep square leg for a flat six. That's the strategic time-out

Perera to Ben Dunk, FOUR, takes him on and lofts this length ball to clear mid-off. The fielder from long-on does well to sprint across, but the ball just manages to beat him

Shammu Ashan to Ben Dunk, 2 runs, swept to deep square leg where Theekshana stops it with a dive, keeps them down to two

M Theekshana to Hafeez, out Caught by Avishka Fernando!! Probably got rattled by that lbw decision last ball, and he tries to unsettle the batsman the very next ball. Dances down the wicket and goes after it. Lofts it towards long-on and he fails to get the distance and it's a comfortable catch for Avishka near the boundary. Hafeez c Avishka Fernando b M Theekshana 15(18) [4s-2]

M Theekshana to Hafeez, no run, Hafeez reviews. He has been given out LBW. And after having a chat with Dunk, he has decided to challenge the umpire's call. Nothing on UltraEdge when the ball goes past the inside edge. However, this is probably missing leg. Yes, it is. Was a flighted delivery by Theekshana and ball spins in like an off-break does. Hafeez swings across the line, and gets beaten. Impact around leg and it's spinning down leg, confirm the replays. A good review by the Gladiators

Jayden Seales to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Gurbaz!! Gladiators have lost both their openers! A short and quick ball by Jayden Seales, bangs it into the pitch and Kusal Mendis plays across the line.

Lakmal to Gunathilaka, out Caught by Perera!! Gunathilaka gets a bit too greedy and Lakmal has the last laugh! Concedes a couple of boundaries and storms back to dismiss the opener. Was a length delivery from round the wicket and Gunathilaka looks to go big against the pacer. Plays a lofted shot, but miscues it towards deep mid-on where Perera runs back and completes a well judged catch to bring an end to Gunathilaka's innings. Gunathilaka c Perera b Lakmal 8(4) [4s-2]

Lakmal to Gunathilaka, FOUR, crashed through cover! On a length outside off, plenty of width and Gunathilaka has drilled it through cover for a rollicking boundary
