Shamar Joseph to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Akeal Hosein!! Sri Lanka have lost both their openers in a space of four balls! Shamar Joseph strikes with his first ball and he is cock-a-hoop! It's a soft dismissal actually. Full delivery swinging in towards leg-stump. Mendis tries to whip it uppishly perhaps over mid-wicket but is early into the stroke. The result is that it comes out more of the front of the bat and he chips it to mid-on. Hosein standing at the edge of the circle leaps to reverse cup it nicely.
