WKeshara Nuwantha c Saransh Jain b Manav Suthar
Manav Suthar to Keshara Nuwantha, out Caught by Saransh Jain!! Suthar has broken through and has ended this stubborn partnership - tosses one around middle and lures Nuwantha into the ambitious drive, but he's got too close to the ball, doesn't get the elevation on the shot - he did play with the turn, but he's hit it right down Saransh's throat at mid-off. Handy innings from Nuwantha who has shown that he can hang around, but the hosts have now lost their 8th wicket. Keshara Nuwantha c Saransh Jain b Manav Suthar 18(74) [4s-2 6s-1]
