Lahiru Kumara to Chad Bowes, OUT! TAKEN! That is the start Sri Lanka would have wanted. Lahiru Kumara strikes on the very first ball he bowls. Fuller and outside off, the tempter. Bowes looks to drive, this goes off the outside edge and it is taken by the keeper.

Lahiru Kumara to Tom Blundell, A HUGE APPEAL FOR CAUGHT BEHIND! NOT GIVE! Review taken! OUT! There is an edge. There was a sound when it went past the bat and it was a faint edge. Two in the over for Lahiru Kumara and Sri Lanka well and truly in this. Length and on off, this lands and moves away. Tom Blundell looks to defend but this takes the edge and goes to the keeper.

Dasun Shanaka to Tom Latham, OUT! TIMBER! Dasun Shanaka strikes. The skipper leads from the front and just as the game was drifting away, he breaks the stand that was going along nicely. Full and outside off, Tom Latham looks to drive, this goes off the inside edge and onto the stumps. He played that away from the body. Big wicket.

Lahiru Kumara to Will Young, EDGY FOUR! Two slips were needed. Not sure though why there was no second slip. Kumara has been the best bowler for the Lankans so far, he was got back but with just the one slip in place. He goes full and outside off, Young drives and it goes off the outside edge and down to the third man fence.
