Devon Conway 17(59)
18.4
Ramesh Mendis to Conway, out Lbw!! Appeal for LBW, did it straighten? Sri Lanka are quick to review though, drifted in with the angle and beat Conway's forward push, it has straightened significantly, no bat and UltraEdge confirms it. Onto ball-tracking, threre reds with the ball crashing into the top of middle, Conway is OUT and Ramesh Mendis has the first wicket for Sri Lanka. A distraught Conway walks away, did all the hard work and has been dismissed against the run of play - lovely drift and guile from the off-spinner, pitched on middle and leg and then got it to straighten, not a big enough stride as Conway pushed forward, hit around the roll and the original call has had to be changed. Conway lbw b Ramesh Mendis 17(59) [4s-1]
