1.4 to HG Kuhn, struck on the pads - given! Kuhn had shuffled across and was trapped in front of middle and leg, no reviews in T20 so he has to go. Hawk-Eye says it would have clipped the top of leg stump, so a fair enough decision by umpire Shaun George. 15/1
8.4 to DA Miller, pitched up, better length from Kula, towards the blockhole - and slugged to long-on! Miller falls, a belligerent knock but Kulasekara snuffs him out, wasn't able to get the elevation on this one. 105/4
1018118.0021210
2.4 to JT Smuts, swings hard again, top-edged straight up, well taken at extra cover! Smuts smudges his record with an agricultural heave, wasn't short enough as he went across the line and sent it spiralling into the night sky. 30/2

4.5 to TB de Bruyn, flat outside off stump, de Bruyn slices a cut... taken by the diving fielder at point! SL have another, de Bruyn's maiden innings cut short by another decent catch from Gunaratne. 54/3

7.2 to S Prasanna, edged, taken, his first wicket! Back of a length, Prasanna swinging for the hills over the leg side and gets a top edge that also gives Mosehle his first catch. 88/4
7.5 to BKG Mendis, and now we've had a relay catch! A short ball, angled into the hip, it's pulled away towards deep square leg where Kuhn runs around and holds the catch but knows he'll run over the rope, so flicks it back to Tahir who just about manages to keep his composure and hold the take. But he nearly dropped it!. 90/5

8.1 to AD Mathews, and they are falling quickly now, but Parnell's got lucky here as a big full toss is heaved straight to deep midwicket. Not quite bowled for and got. They are checking on the no-ball for height, but's okay. 91/6

5.1 to N Dickwella, and that's find deep midwicket...tries to clear the leg side with a slog sweep but doesn't get enough bat on it and it's a comfortable catch. 59/1
5.6 to DM de Silva, finds middle stump...and he's off another celebratory run. Someone catch him, please! A flatter, straighter delivery, de Silva goes to slog sweep and it's through him too quickly. 73/2
2024112.0042200
6.2 to ST de Silva, a first-baller for the debutant! Another catch at deep midwicket, another slog sweep that doesn't quite have the legs. Selfless shot. 74/3
