Gulbadin Naib to Pathum Nissanka
Up goes the finger but Pathum Nissanka reviews. He has been given out LBW but that seems plumb. OUT! THAT IS HITTING LEG! Lanka lose a review too. Something to be happy about for Afghanistan! They get Pathum Nissanka who was on fire out there. This starts outside off and tails back in late. Pathum Nissanka looks to flick but misses, it hits the pad. A loud shout and the finger is raised. Can Afghanistan get a couple more quickly. Just the 33 more needed.

FOUR OVERTHROWS! That is the end of the game! That effort sums up the cricket Afghanistan have played today! Really poor! On middle, this is pushed towards cover. There is hesitation between the two batters but they go for the run in the end. The throw is towards the bowler's end but it is a wild one, well away from the fielder backing up and it goes down to the long on fence. SRI LANKA WIN BY 9 WICKETS!
