WKusal Mendis st Tadiwanashe Marumani b Ryan Burl
Ryan Burl to Kusal Mendis, out Stumped!! Beautiful work from Tadiwanashe Marumani and Burl has struck with his first ball - a lovely deceptive leg-break, drifts in and then spins away from the right-hander, brings Kusal forward, dips and turns past the outside edge and Tadiwanashe Marumani breaks the stumps with ease. The momentum dragged Mendis out of the crease and he has no time to recover. Kusal Mendis st Tadiwanashe Marumani b Ryan Burl 14(20)
