- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Jangoo at short leg grabs that! Sheer delight among the home team players as Nissanka falls flicking. Length ball outside off and coming into Nissanka. Just a shade of extra bounce while Nissanks preps to play the shot, and all he has done is played it into the hands of the catching fielder near him on the leg side 2/19.3 given out! Full on the stumps and Madushka wants to flick but he doesn't get bat on ball. Misses the shot completely, and the ball hits him on the shin. Madushka doesn't even bother taking a review because that's full. Alzarri strikes in his first over 42/225.1 rips a full delivery through Chandimal and crashes it into the woodwork! Shamar has bowled this full length all day, and this was practically a yorker, pitching near the crease as Chandimal plays a big straight drive, and going on to smash off stumo. Chandimal was beginning to look pretty good after battling his way through the first session, but Shamar has found a way through. 110/49.4 two in two! Alzarri comes around the wicket to the left-hander. He bowls a length ball marginally outside off and Kamindu tries to feel bat on ball. The defensive shot gets the outside edge, and it's a low catch at first slip 42/364.4 leading edge! Taken at cover! This is full on his pads, Dhananjaya tries to flick it leg side, but the ball straightens after pitching, gets the bat's edge, and the ball balloons high up in the direction of Brandon King. End of an important, top-quality innings from the visiting captain 273/725.5 Two in an over for Shamar! Mendis drives at a full wide one and sends an outside edge into the lap off second slip. Could have easily let that one go, but was tempted by the juicy length Shamar was offering up. On this kind of surface, the odds are going to be against you early in your innings, however. Sri Lanka in serious trouble now. 110/550.4 given out lbw leaving the ball! Roach floated one out wide last delivery and seamed this one back into the left hander. Dinusha covered the line of the stumps with his pads, but didn't offer a shot to a ball in the channel. He has reviewed the out decision. Ball tracking shows the ball tickling the top of off stump however, and Dinusha has to go. This is why Roach is closing in on 300 wickets (he's four away now). That was a delicious sequence of deliveries to get that wicket. 209/668.1 chopped on! Yorker length, just outside off. Milan tries to squeeze this away to the off side but the ball takes the inside-edge onto the poles 287/870.5 easy catch at mid-on leaves SL nine down. Greaves gets another wicket - a third! Fuller ball on middle, and it's another leading edge as the batter tried to loft a shot over the bowler. Roach at mid-on backpedals slightly at mid-on, and sends Rajitha back for 8 303/971.5 full ball on middle. Makes a bit of room and then tries to go over the bowler's head. Mistimed and Alzarri at mid off turns around and runs behind to take a smart catch.
