Rance 0-29(3 ov)
16.6
Rance to Udana, out Udana Run Out!! 1 run completed. Messy stuff and the run out happens this time! Cannot afford to be so poor against quality fielding and SL lose another. Udana knocked this away down to third man and for some reason, he thought there was a second run which was always risky. To make matters worse, Wanidu Hasaranga isn't interested at all and it's too late for Udana to get back as he is mid-pitch. Santner throws it at Seifert who throws it towards Rance to do the formalities. Not even in the frame is Udana. Waste of a wicket. Udana run out (Santner/Seifert/Rance) 2(4)
16.5
Rance to Wanidu Hasaranga, 1 run, nearly a run out! Throw was at the wrong end and that saves Hasaranga. This was knocked down to third man for a single and they thought of the second before Udana sent him back. Seifert did try with a direct hit throw at the bowler's end but too late
16.4
Rance to Wanidu Hasaranga, 2 runs, fuller and outside off, driven down to long-off for a single. Kuggeleijn messes up with his throw and they get the second as well
16.3
Rance to Udana, 1 run, another low full toss, quite wide outside off and it's driven to sweeper cover
16.2
Rance to Wanidu Hasaranga, 1 run, low full toss and Hasaranga drives gently to cover for a single
16.1
Rance to Wanidu Hasaranga, 2 runs, slower cutter outside off, Hasaranga is early into the drive but ends up slicing it wide of backward point. Third man gets around
3.6
Rance to Gunathilaka, 2 runs, shortish and wider outside off, a gentle open-faced dab down to third man who is squarer. 18 off the over!
3.5
Rance to Gunathilaka, FOUR, more runs! This is turning out to be a nightmarish over for Rance. This is shortish and on leg stump, the attempt was to cramp Gunathilaka but he is equal to the task. Pulls it away wide of short fine leg to get another boundary. He's peppering the gaps in this powerplay
3.4
Rance to Gunathilaka, no run, direct hit would have been interesting! How close was this? Gunathilaka knocked this back at the bowler and came out of the crease in the process. Had to dive back as the alert Rance had a shy at the stumps. Might have been touch and go if it hit
3.3
Rance to Gunathilaka, FOUR, Rance is feeling the heat and this freebie is a result of that. Looks to overcompensate in line and ends up feeding it on the pads, Gunathilaka just shuffles a bit and tickles it very fine down the leg-side
3.2
Rance to Gunathilaka, FOUR, fantastic shot! After a lull, Gunathilaka has got his touch and is looking ominous now. Backed away once more and pounded this on the up through the gap between extra cover and mid-off. Fab!!
3.1
Rance to Gunathilaka, FOUR, slammed away! Picked the slower ball early, did Gunathilaka, and backed away to drill the drive straighter as mid-off was a touch wider. The fielder tried with a dive but it rocketed past him
1.6
Rance to Gunathilaka, 2 runs, finds the edge but well short of the diving gully fielder and sneaks through towards third man. Nice outswing for Rance, starts on leg stump and curves away as Gunathilaka looks to drive with an open face. He did well not to go hard at it
1.5
Rance to Gunathilaka, no run, extra bounce from a good length and Gunathilaka was nowhere on this zero-footed push. Beaten by a mile
1.4
Rance to Gunathilaka, no run, shortish and angled across Gunathilaka who pats it gently to point
1.3
Rance to Kusal Perera, 1 run, leg stump off-cutter and Perera got beaten by the lack of pace. Ended up with a fine inside edge onto the pad towards short fine leg
1.2
Rance to Kusal Perera, no run, very full and attacks the stumps, Perera keeps it out off a toe-ended stab
1.1
Rance to Kusal Perera, no run, starts with an away-angler, quite wide outside off and seams away a fraction as Perera misses the slash
