Milan Rathnayake to Brandon King, out Caught by Dinusha!! That's a soft dismissal! King has thrown away a start! A good length delivery outside off, King leans towards it and drives it on the up without bothering to keep it down. It's straight to Dinusha at covers who gets low to pouch it safely. The length was not quite there to drive it on the up. He wasn't to the pitch of it and hence couldn't control the stroke. Sri Lanka have broken through.
