Shiraz Ahmed to Ramesh Mendis, out Bowled!! Clean bowled and end of a fine knock from Ramesh Mendis who might have played an innings which might make some difference. That was a slower delivery, Ramesh Mendis wanted to heave it away and missed to be clean bowled. Was a very good delivery aimed at the sticks. Ramesh Mendis b Shiraz Ahmed 41(28) [4s-2 6s-1]

Shiraz Ahmed to Tahir, FOUR, wow! That's a good hit. Jams the fuller ball outside off and gets it fine on the off-side for a four. The bowler is not amused for sure despite a little smile on his face

Shiraz Ahmed to Ramesh Mendis, FOUR, sits down and scoops that down to fine leg for a four

Shiraz Ahmed to Ramesh Mendis, out Ratnayake Run Out!! 1 run completed. They look for a second but there is a run-out. That was mistimed away into the on-side. The striker was never interested but the overthrow allured him to do so. The point fielder did well to gather it and throw it at the bowler's end. The batter was well short. Ratnayake run out (Kamindu Mendis/Shiraz Ahmed) 1(1)

Al-Amin to Ramesh Mendis, SIX, in the slot and pumped over deep mid for a sixer. That was right up there and the batter heaved it away powerfully

Al-Amin to de Lange, out Caught by A Perera!! Slower delivery, the batter drags that down to long-on. Easy take for the fielder. That was in the slot, de Lange wanted to heave it but just couldn't get it away. Another one bites the dust. de Lange c A Perera b Al-Amin 1(2)

Binura Fernando to S Jayathilake, out Caught by Bopara!! Low full toss, the batter slices that and the man at point takes it. The bat face might have turned a little on impact as the low full toss dipped on the batter. S Jayathilake wanted to hit it hard but just couldn't place it. S Jayathilake c Bopara b Binura Fernando 34(40) [4s-2 6s-1]

Binura Fernando to Ramesh Mendis, FOUR, did he time it that well? Just used the pace on the ball which was a cutter outside off. The ball nibbled away and Ramesh Mendis opened the face of the bat to guide it between point and short third for a four. The oiutfield despite taking in so much of rain water is lightning quick

Al-Amin to Karunaratne, out Caught by Kennar Lewis!! That was short, Karunaratne went for the pull and just couldn't control it.

Karunaratne c Kennar Lewis b Al-Amin 0(3)

Al-Amin to Najibullah, out Caught by Gunaratne!! Taken at mid-off! That was a length delivery, Najibullah tried to force that on the up and the man at mid-off takes an easy catch. Another one falls.

Binura Fernando to Dickwella, out Bowled!! The procession of wickets seems to continue. That was wider outside off, Dickwella looks to drive and drags it on like his partner. The feet were cemented and that didn't help either. Binura Fernando has another wicket and Kandy are on top. Dickwella b Binura Fernando 12(9) [4s-2]

Binura Fernando to Dickwella, FOUR, backs away and cracks the ball away off the back foot into the off-side for a four. He backed away and hit it really well. Lovely timing on it

Nimesh Vimukthi to Janith Liyanage, out Caught by A Perera!! Outside edge and taken! Superb take by the man at slip. That was a beautiful delivery, dropped on the batter and turned a little to take the edge. The batter pushed at it very little but the fielder at slip takes a blinder. That was dying on the fielder but he plucks it out of thin air to his right. Kandy on fire. Janith Liyanage c A Perera b Nimesh Vimukthi 0(4)

Nimesh Vimukthi to Dickwella, FOUR, gets hold of the short ball and pulls it away to deep square for a four. That was dropped short, Dickwella stayed his crease and smashed it. Boundary added

Binura Fernando to Philip Salt, out Bowled!! Finally the yorker delivers the desired result. That was right up there and Philip Salt trying to put it away, gets a toe-end and the ball crashes into the sticks. Big strike and he is chuffed. That was little outside off, Philip Salt wanted to force it but ended up dragging it on. Some interesting celebrations from the bowler. Philip Salt found it a little amusing as well. Philip Salt b Binura Fernando 3(9)
