3.3 to BKG Mendis, Bishnoi moves across to his left from mid-on and snaffles the catch this time! Slowie from Arshdeep, offcutter, back of a length and wide of off. Arshdeep finds some grip and has Mendis miscuing it to Bishnoi. The batter was aiming to tug it over midwicket but ends up offering a catch to mid-on. 26/1 18.4 to KIC Asalanka, easy pickings at deep midwicket! Samson gets in on the act. Arshdeep searches for the yorker, Asalanka goes for a big shot over the leg side, but he has toe-ended this low full toss. Doesn't have the distance, and taken well inside the boundary line. 151/7 See all photos
Axar Patel	4	0	30	2	7.50	8	2	1	1	0
19.2 to M Theekshana, off stump pegged back! Length ball around off stump. Theekshana makes a lot of room to try and free his arms with a shot over the off side. Misses the ball altogether, and Theekshana must walk back too, missing a non-spinning delivery on this occasion. 154/8 19.6 to RTM Mendis, Axar finishes on a high! He slows it down, bowling a good length ball quite wide outside off. Mendis came down the track to go for an expansive shot, but he missed, and Pant had plenty of time to whip the bails off. Could've been a wide, though, however the umpire feels it is not. Sri Lanka finish on 161/9. 161/9
Ravi Bishnoi	4	0	26	3	6.50	12	4	0	0	0
9.3 to P Nissanka, another quick wrong'un from Bishnoi, skids off the pitch and curls in to ping the back pad before Nissanka could get some bat on ball. Umpire Palliyaguruge raises his finger. The tracker returns umpire's call on impact and it's certainly thudding into off stump. Another excellent decision from umpire Palliyaguruge. 80/2 16.3 to MD Shanaka, chopped on! And Bishnoi picks up a second. Length ball outside off. Shanaka moves closer to the ball to try and cut, but Shanaka ends up getting an inside edge onto off stump. Gone for a golden duck today after being out for a diamond duck yesterday.. 140/5 16.4 to PW Hasaranga, fourth wicket in ten legal deliveries! Googly again, Hasaranga tries to play a big slog sweep, and he has been absolutely bowled. Full outside off and Bishnoi got enough purchase off this helpful pitch. 140/6 See all photos

Hardik Pandya	2	0	23	2	11.50	6	0	2	6	0
15.1 to PHKD Mendis, this time Rinku hangs on. Hardik sticks with his line from the first over. Fullish, slower ball around leg stump, and Mendis tries to drop-kick the bowler over cow corner, but instead finds Rinku at deep square leg, few metres inside the boundary line. 130/3 15.6 to MDKJ Perera, Rinkuuuuuuuu! Short, fast-paced ball on middle. Perera looks to tonk a pull behind square but the bat turns, and that's why he gets little elevation. Goes flat and hard to Rinku at deep square leg, but he keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a catch sliding forward. Kisses the ball after ensuring it's in his grasp.. 139/4 See all photos

1.1 to SV Samson, and Theekshana strikes with his first ball to send Sanju Samson back for a duck! Skidder from Theekshana, flat, quick, angling in from over the stumps to crash into the stumps after breaching his defences. SL are still in it. 12/1 See all photos
Wanindu Hasaranga	2	0	34	1	17.00	2	3	3	0	0
5.4 to YBK Jaiswal, caught on the line! Half-tracker of sorts from Hasaranga. Jaiswal goes deep in his crease and tries to pull him for six over cow corner, but Shanaka positioned himself well on the boundary line. Jaiswal goes scoring 30 with a strike-rate of 200. 65/3
Matheesha Pathirana	1.3	0	18	1	12.00	3	2	1	0	0
4.2 to SA Yadav, strong comeback from Pathirana! Kind of a slot ball just outside off. Suryakumar tries to club him over his head for another big shot, but ends up mistiming to long on instead. But SKY has done his job, scoring at a strike-rate of nearly 220. 51/2
