Nishan Madushka c Prasidh Krishna b Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj to Nishan Madushka, out Caught by Prasidh Krishna!! Nishan Madushka has been bounced out. Banged in short by Siraj, almost head-high and Nishan Madushka goes after it with a pull shot. Almost an instinctive stroke from the opener. All he manages is a top-edge and it goes towards long leg. Prasidh, the man in the deep, stays in his position for a while, watches the trajectory of the ball carefully and comes in before bending low and taking a tumbling low catch. Siraj removes Nishan Madushka for the second time in this Test. Nishan Madushka c Prasidh Krishna b Mohammed Siraj 6(27)
