Shamar Joseph to Maheesh Theekshana, out Bowled!! Full, fast yorker at 143.5kph, you miss, I hit from Shamar Joseph. And he roars and celebrates with a few fist pumps. Theekshana backs away to squeeze it out through point but misses and hands Shamar Joseph his best figures in T20Is. Leaked 20 runs in his third over and he's got 5 wickets for 13 runs in the other three overs. What a roller coaster for him. Maheesh Theekshana b Shamar Joseph 4(4) [4s-1]

Shamar Joseph to Dushmantha Chameera, out Caught by Brandon King!! This is another mishit, brilliant take running back and to the left by King from mid-off. Short of a length delivery, Chameera looks to slap it hard, sends it straight up and taken nicely. Shamar Joseph is on a hat-trick. He throws the ball into the ground, possibly angry with himself for leaking runs at the end against Wellalage. Dushmantha Chameera c Brandon King b Shamar Joseph 0(1)

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, out Caught by Matthew Forde!! This is high, complete mishit and Forde took a well judged catch running forward at deep mid-wicket. The fun ends for Wellalage and Shamar Joseph manages to get the last laugh. But Wellalage has given Sri Lanka a serious chance by single-handedly taking on Shamar. He tried to flick this length delivery, got rushed on the shot and got it on the outer half of the bat and holed out. Dunith Wellalage c Matthew Forde b Shamar Joseph 43(28) [4s-6 6s-1]

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, FOUR, now this is a contender for the shot of the game as well. Unbelievable confidence to bend the knees to a bowler who is bowling quick and to a ball not so short and guide it fine to the right of short third man. Oh man! He's picked it off the off stump. Nothing that the bowler would have done than give the batter a wry smile. Had to take the hat off there to Dunith Wellalage! It's not even bounced close to the top of the off stump and he still managed to get under and guide the ball. 20 runs off the over and Sri Lanka are inching ahead

Shamar Joseph to Dunith Wellalage, FOUR, this is possibly the shot of the game. Shamar Joseph has completely released the pressure by attempting the yorkers when bowling into the wicket was working.

Shamar once again didn't get the blockhole and Wellalage got under the ball to play a brilliant lofted-drive over cover
