All
19.3
Shiraz Ahmed to Noor Ahmad, 2 wides, another slower short ball from Shiraz, but it's well wide of off - Noor can't reach out on the cut, but he sneaks in a bye as the ball bounces through to the keeper
19
6
Al-Amin to Samit Patel, SIX, beautifully played, length ball outside off - Samit comes down the pitch, makes room and then drives it over extra-cover, the timing is sweet and the ball soars over the ropes, 13 from the over
18.5
4
Al-Amin to Samit Patel, FOUR, much needed boundary for Samit - comes down the track, backs away and then slaps the slower short ball over backward point, bounces away to the ropes
18
Shiraz Ahmed to Noor Ahmad, leg byes, 1 run, another leg-stump yorker, full and crashing into the pads - past the inside edge as Noor tried to flick and rolled away off the pads - big screeching appeal for LBW and they've reviewed it - doesn't need one than one replay to confirm that the impact itself was outside leg - the Warriors have lost both reviews now
17.5
W
Shiraz Ahmed to Lahiru Madushanka, out Bowled!! Madushanka tries to manufacture the sweep and loses his stumps instead - was very full and sliding onto the pads - Madushanka shuffled a long way across and is beaten by the angle - the leg-stump is pegged back as the Gladiators continue to lose wickets. Lahiru Madushanka b Shiraz Ahmed 2(4)
17.1
Shiraz Ahmed to Samit Patel, 2 runs, short of a length and from round the wicket - tucked into the deep past square leg and a fumble allows a second run
16.4
W
Kamindu Mendis to Dhananjaya Lakshan, out Caught by Bopara !! A rank long hop and somehow Lakshan has found the fielder in the deep - Mendis can't believe his luck, was a drag down and Lakshan rocked back on the pull - could have hit it anywhere , but he found Bopara to perfection at deep mid-wicket - hardly had to move, straight into his hands. Dhananjaya Lakshan c Bopara b Kamindu Mendis 14(15) [4s-2]
16.3
Kamindu Mendis to Dhananjaya Lakshan, no run, appeal for LBW, and they have reviewed - think the ball is sliding down leg. Was looking to sweep, Dhananjaya Lakshan and missed it completely - was it straightening enough? UltraEdge confirms no bat - onto ball-tracking - sliding with the angle and going past leg. Kandy lose a review - was very full and Lakshan was beaten on the sweep. The impact was in front of leg and would have gone down
14.5

Asalanka to Dhananjaya Lakshan, FOUR, nicely played, juicy full-toss on off, Lakshan leans forward and finds the gap wide of cover with the drive, runs away for a much-needed boundary
12.4
4
Nimesh Vimukthi to Dhananjaya Lakshan, FOUR, appeal for LBW, but there was an under-edge on that, Lakshan was looking to paddle and placed it fine, beats the fielder in the deep
12.3
W
Nimesh Vimukthi to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! That's a dolly at long-off and the Gladiators have lost their fifth wicket, the set batter departs - Kusal came down the track, got too far underneath the lofted drive, plenty of height, but not the elevation - straight down the throat of Kamindu who doesn't drop those. Kusal Mendis c Kamindu Mendis b Nimesh Vimukthi 44(34) [4s-3 6s-1]

W
Kamindu Mendis to Rajapaksa, out Lbw!! This time the umpire obliges and raises his finger. Even Rajapaksa knew he was a goner, didn't discuss with Mendis for a review and started walking back. Straight ball and Rajapaksa plays outside the line, beaten on the inside edge and struck right in front of the stumps. No doubt that was crashing into leg-stump. Rajapaksa lbw b Kamindu Mendis 3(7)

4
Sachindu Colombage to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, neatly done! Fraction short and around off, Mendis waits on the back foot, opens the bat face and carves the cut past the diving backward point fielder, the ball races away to the fence
7.3
Sachindu Colombage to Kusal Mendis, 2 runs, dropped it short and Mendis picks the length early, rocks back and pulls it in front of square on the leg-side, easy two
6.2
W
Kamindu Mendis to Ben Dunk, out Caught by Nimesh Vimukthi!! Kandy keep picking wickets at regular intervals. This was not a great delivery by Kamindu. He dropped it short and Dunk could have smashed it anywhere, but instead he rocks back and pulls it straight down deep mid-wicket's throat. He would be disappointed to getting out to such a poor ball. Ben Dunk c Nimesh Vimukthi b Kamindu Mendis 12(14) [4s-2]

Al-Amin to Ben Dunk, FOUR, width on offer and Dunk does miss out, he had made premeditated room and that allowed him to free his arms, drives on the rise and past the diving cover-point fielder
4.5
4
Kamindu Mendis to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, drops it short and Mendis is quick to latch on to it, he rocks back and flays the cut in front of square on the off-side, the ball was in the air but well wide of cover-point
4.2
4
Kamindu Mendis to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, poor delivery from Kamindu. Straying down leg, Mendis sits down and helps it along the way to deep backward square, rolled his wrists over to get the placement right
3.3

Shiraz Ahmed to Ben Dunk, FOUR, this time the slower ball sits up for Dunk. Shiraz dropped this too short and Dunk waited for it, slapped it over the infield on the off-side and watched the ball race away to the fence
2.4
W
Nimesh Vimukthi to Samarawickrama, out Bowled!! Relief for Tom Moores. Joy for Vimukthi. Denied the previous ball but Samarawickrama obliges once again. He wanted to go after Vimukthi at all costs, this ball he attempts the sweep and misses it altogether, the ball slides on and crashes into middle-stump. Samarawickrama b Nimesh Vimukthi 0(6)
2.3
Nimesh Vimukthi to Samarawickrama, no run, stumping missed. Samarawickrama charges down and swings through the line, the ball dips and turns past the outside edge, Moores is defeated by the extra bounce and he does not glove it, Samarawickrama gets back in comfortably
1.3
W
Shiraz Ahmed to Gunathilaka, out Bowled!! Cleaned him! That's an excellent riposte from Shiraz. He enjoyed that as he does a fist pump and stares as Gunathilaka walks away. He went much fuller and nailed the yorker, Gunathilaka had backed away and does not bring his bat down in time to keep it out, the ball sneaks through and flattens the leg-stump. Gunathilaka b Shiraz Ahmed 5(4) [4s-1]
1.2
4
Shiraz Ahmed to Gunathilaka, FOUR, this time he finds it closer to the middle. Fullish delivery, Gunathilaka clears his front leg and swings through the line, not well-timed but enough to clear the field and race away
0.4
6
TM Sampath to Kusal Mendis, SIX, this would bring back some memories for Sampath. The last time he bowled, Avishka Fernando smashed him for five consecutive sixes in an over. Flighted delivery, Mendis sits down and slog sweeps it over deep square leg
