Rashid Khan to Charith Asalanka
OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid Khan has done it again! He gets the breakthrough Afghanistan need and Charith Asalanka will have to depart. He flights this ball full and outside the off pole, Charith Asalanka finds the ball in his hitting arc and looks to clear the long on fielder. He does not manage to connect well and Azmatullah Omarzai takes a fine catch with both hands over his head. Sri Lanka have lost their third wicket and they will be hoping there is no collapse here.
