Eshan Malinga to Rovman Powell, no run, big shout for LBW, but think this was heading down leg. A yorker length delivery and Rovman Powell played all around it on the flick, stumbled across and that got Malinga excited. Sri Lanka have nothing to lose and they've reviewed. Tailed back in late and beat Powell's inside edge. Struck on the toe and in front of leg, no bat and it's missing the leg-stump - Sri Lanka lose a review
