WDhruv Jurel c Dhananjaya b Prabath Jayasuriya
Prabath Jayasuriya to Dhruv Jurel, out Caught by Dhananjaya!! Outstanding catch from the Sri Lankan captain! He dropped the same batter on 29, which was a tough one as well, but this is spectacular. 83kph, flighted delivery, drifting in towards middle and Jurel gets forward to work it into the on-side. Closes the bat-face early and gets a leading edge due to the spin. Dhananjaya de Silva acrobatically dives full length to his right at first slip and plucks it out of thin air. A stunning one-handed catch to end Jurel's knock. Dhruv Jurel c Dhananjaya b Prabath Jayasuriya 51(68) [4s-4 6s-1]
