Dhananjaya Lakshan to de Silva, byes, FOUR, poor from Mohammed Shamaaz. Lakshan deceives de Silva with a slower short ball, the pull is not connected and the ball bounced in front of the keeper, Shamaaz does not get his body behind the line and the ball runs away to the fence

Dhananjaya Lakshan to Ravindu Fernando, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Lakshan is on a hat-trick. This is a lucky wicket though. A nice juicy full toss and Fernando could have hit that anywhere, but instead picks out Mendis near long-on. He looks at his bat as though suggesting that it was not off the middle. Ravindu Fernando c Kusal Mendis b Dhananjaya Lakshan 0(1)

Dhananjaya Lakshan to Chandimal, out Caught by Udana!! Chandimal's cameo comes to an end. He has given the much needed impetus to the innings and walks off to a standing ovation. Another slower ball dug into the surface, Chandimal had backed away and then reaches to slap it over extra cover, mistimes it towards long-off and Udana takes a good catch. He runs to his left and slides across to complete the job. Chandimal c Udana b Dhananjaya Lakshan 36(14) [4s-4 6s-2]

Udana to Chandimal, FOUR, Udana is being taken to the cleaners. The back of the hand slower ball, Chandimal waits for it by kneeling down and helps it over short fine. He just had to give that direction and he does so

Udana to Chandimal, SIX, now he launches one into the crowd. This is the biggest hit of the season - 105 meters. Length ball and right in the arc, Chandimal gives everything into the heave and sends it soaring over wide long-on. 14 off 3 balls and Udana is under pressure

Amir to Mathews, out Lbw!! That looked dead in real time. Amir was sure and the umpire needed some convincing but he eventually lifted his finger. A pin-point yorker aimed for the base of middle, Mathews moves across, sits down to play the scoop and gets himself into a tangle, fails to connect and is pinged right in front of the stumps. A fine knock comes to an end.. Mathews lbw b Amir 73(57) [4s-8 6s-3]

Amir to Chandimal, FOUR, that's fine shot. Amir spears in a low full toss on off, Chandimal somehow manages to get under it and drive it through extra cover. Udana was inside the ring at mid-off and he gave a valiant chase

Noor Ahmad to Prasanna, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Something to cheer for Noor. He has had a rough day in the office. Prasanna comes down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball as well but toe-ends the loft towards long-on, Mendis runs to his left and takes a good low catch. He did well there as the ball was dying on him. Prasanna c Kusal Mendis b Noor Ahmad 6(5) [4s-1]

Udana to Mathews, FOUR, Lakshan is beaten this time. Once more Udana persists with that wide line outside off and Mathews squeezes the drive behind point, the ball races away and Lakshan can't pull it back even with a desperate dive

Samit Patel to Prasanna, FOUR, Prasanna is off and running. Half tracker outside off and he smashes it in front of square on the off-side, brute power as the ball rocketed to the fence

Samit Patel to Tom Banton, out Caught by Gunathilaka!! Patel returns and sends back his countryman. Banton had to get on with things and does not get enough power to clear the field. Tossed up around off, Banton decides to go inside out but hits it a lot straighter, Gunathilaka laps it up near long-off. Tom Banton c Gunathilaka b Samit Patel 5(9)

Dhananjaya Lakshan to Mathews, SIX, smashed! Charges down and launches this into the night sky, plenty of height but Mathews had got it off the middle as the ball sails over long-on

Dhananjaya Lakshan to Mathews, FOUR, fifty for Mathews. Back in the team and back leading from the front. He has got himself in and now has to bat through to get Colombo to a competitive total. Short ball and Mathews hooks it backward of square leg, the fielder runs across and dives over the ball

Noor Ahmad to Mathews, SIX, Mathews is turning it on for Colombo. He missed out on the slog sweep a couple of balls ago but nails this into the stands, picks it from outside off and launches it over long-on

Noor Ahmad to Mathews, FOUR, overcooks the flighted delivery and Mathews dismisses it with disdain, drilled it straight down the ground and didn't bother to run, Noor tried to get a hand but the ball had passed him in a jiffy

Udana to Priyanjan, out Caught&Bowled!! Wow! Priyanjan moves leg-side, jogs down the pitch and drives firmly. He even started to run for a single. But, Udana, in his followthrough had other ideas. Superb refelxes from the bowler to stick his left hand out - a full-stretch - and snaffle it. Priyanjan has a wry smile on his face before walking off. The partnership has been broken. Priyanjan c and b Udana 23(16) [4s-3]

Noor Ahmad to Priyanjan, FOUR, Priyanjan shuffles across a long way and gets low early. It's a low full toss and scoops it over the keeper's head. Short fine leg chases but can only escort the ball to the fence. 50 partnership!

Noor Ahmad to Mathews, 5 wides, bonus runs! Fires one way down the leg-side at 96kph, past Mathews's glance and the keeper has no chance to stop that

Udana to Mathews, no run, Mathews is struck on the back leg as he swings and misses against this back-of-the-hand slower ball from round the wicket. Udana appeals, but the umpire is unmoved. Galle Gladiators send it upstairs. Probably too high. Fair ball. No bat. Over to ball-tracking ... and ... it's bouncing over middle and leg! Struck him on the back thigh as the batter was through with his shot a touch too early

Udana to Mathews, FOUR, 133.2kph, full on leg, Mathews wrists it over mid-wicket. Good placement. Mid-wicket runs back, long-on runs to his left but both the fielders can only watch the ball hit the ropes

Amir to Mathews, FOUR, 130.1kph, too full, swings in, too straight, on the pads. Mathews is off-balance but he manages to get enough wood on his flick. Speeds away to deep backward square leg
