5.3

Jofra Archer to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Full and wide outside off, Pathum Nissanka chases this and has a go at it away from his body. The ball gets an inside edge that is chopped back onto the stumps. Pathum Nissanka departs after scoring 34 off 22.

Kamil Mishara c Jamie Overton b Will Jacks 36 30 2 2 120

10.6

Will Jacks to Kamil Mishara, OUT! CAUGHT! Kamil Mishara gives in after getting a good start. Pushed through around the pads from Will Jacks. Kamil Mishara stays leg side and goes through with the flick. Hits this a bit straighter and straight into the hands of Jamie Overton at the wide long on region. Jamie Overton makes no mistake and holds onto it.

Kusal Mendis (W) c Adil Rashid b Liam Dawson 32 17 4 1 188.24

12.2

Liam Dawson to Kusal Mendis, OUT! CAUGHT! Kusal Mendis departs to a spinner once again. Tossed up, around middle and off, Kusal Mendis goes for a sweep after going down on a knee.

Pavan Rathnayake c Jacob Bethell b Jofra Archer 40 22 5 1 181.82

19.4

Jofra Archer to Pavan Rathnayake, OUT! CAUGHT! On a length around middle and leg, Pavan Rathnayake looks to flick this but fails to get right underneath it and ends up chipping this straight into the hands of Jacob Bethell at the deep mid-wicket fence.

Dasun Shanaka (C) lbw b Adil Rashid 1 6 0 0 16.67

13.4

Adil Rashid to Dasun Shanaka, OUT! LBW! Trapped right in front of the stumps. A couple of leggies, going away, and then a quicker googly from Adil Rashid gets the better of Dasun Shanaka. Googly, on off, Dasun Shanaka looks to slog across the line but misses completely as DS fails to read Adil. The ball hits the Lankan skipper on his back pad and a gentle appeal was only required for the umpire to raise his finger. Dasun Shanaka sends this upstairs and the Ball Tracker shows three reds with the ball clattering into the leg-pole. Dasun Shanaka has to walk back.

0.6

Matheesha Pathirana to Phil Salt, OUT! CAUGHT! Slower one, wide of off, Phil Salt plays for the pace on and gets outfoxed. Salt ends up opening the face of his bat and guiding this straight into the hands of Pavan Rathnayake at short third for his dismissal.

Jos Buttler (W) c Pavan Rathnayake b Dunith Wellalage 39 29 6 0 134.48

9.1

Dunith Wellalage to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Tossed up, around off, Jos Buttler jumps down the track and looks to take on the cover fielder but gets it sliced off the cue end of his bat towards the right of Pavan Rathnayake at deep third. Pavan Rathnayake runs in from the fence, puts in a dive and holds onto it.

Jacob Bethell c Kusal Mendis b Dasun Shanaka 13 11 2 0 118.18

4.3

Dasun Shanaka to Jacob Bethell, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Dasun Shanaka sees the shimmy early from the southpaw, bowls it cleverly short and going across at a slow pace. Jacob Bethell still chases this and swings at it. Gets a faint edg which is taken cleanly by the keeper.

Tom Banton not out 54 33 4 3 163.64

Harry Brook (C) c Wanindu Hasaranga b Matheesha Pathirana 36 12 2 4 300

12.3

Matheesha Pathirana to Harry Brook, OUT! CAUGHT! Now that's clever from Matheesha Pathirana but Harry Brook departs after playing a blinder. Short and around off, Harry Brook moves across the stumps looking to ramp this but Matheesha Pathirana bowls this slower and short on off. Harry Brook adjusts and goes for a dab behind the keeper but gets a lot more bat on it. The ball hangs to behind Wanindu Hasaranga and he does well to run back from short third and grab this one.
