Nuwan Thushara to Angelo Mathews, OUT! CAUGHT! What a fantastic catch by Kusal Mendis! Angelo Mathews struggle against the seamers comes to an end. Nuwan Thushara gets the first wicket. A length delivery on off. It is a slower delivery and Angelo Mathews tries to go over the top. However, he gets the bottom of his blade and the ball goes aerially behind mid on.

5.4
Wahab Riaz to Karim Janat, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Good length around leg stump, Janat looks to tuck but seems to have missed it. The ball hits the pads and goes through to the keeper Azam Khan who grabs it down to his right. Wahab Riaz appeals for lbw and the finger is raised but it is for a caught behind. That one looked high and Karim Janat has reviewed it. There is a clear spike on the UltraEdge and that means that Janat won't be given out lbw but caught behind as deemed by the on-field umpire. Strange review in the end and he departs for a duck.

Iftikhar Ahmed to Navod Paranavithana, OUT! CLEANED UP! Iftikhar Ahmed gets the breakthrough and Colombo Stars have now lost their third wicket. This is the arm-ball from Ahmed, quicker and flatter, skidding in from around off stump. Navod Paranavithana backs away a long way and looks to cut but is undone by the pace of the delivery.

Iftikhar Ahmed to Charith Asalanka, OUT! TAKEN! Yet another brilliant catch from Kusal Mendis and Iftikhar Ahmed has his second wicket of the game. This is nicely drifted into middle and off and on a nagging length as well. Charith Asalanka looks to come forward and get to the pitch of the ball but the ball turns away and Asalanka ends up chipping it off the leading edge towards silly mid off. Mendis from short extra cover springs to his left and grabs it with both hands. Colombo Stars losing the plot here.

Iftikhar Ahmed to Ravi Bopara, SIX! Lovely use of the feet from Ravi Bopara and the 50 is finally up for Colombo Stars. Floated up around off stump, Bopara dances down the track and smokes it over the long on fence for a biggie.
