Lasith Embuldeniya to Nkrumah Bonner
Fuller and slower on middle and off. Nkrumah Bonner looks to flick it away but gets an outside edge to the vacant third man region and gets a couple. There is a direct hit at the bowler's end and that excites Sri Lankan players a bit. But replays show that the batter is inside the crease.

Lasith Embuldeniya to Jomel Warrican
OUT! TAKEN! Sri Lanka one wicket away now. A flighted ball, on leg, it lands and turns away. Jomel Warrican prods to defend but gets an inside edge back onto the pads. The ball lobs and goes to silly point where Oshada Fernando takes the catch and celebrates straightaway. Jomel Warrican takes the review. UltraEdge shows a thick inside edge and the on-field decision stays.
