Dasun Shanaka 23(48)
42.3
Dom Bess to Shanaka, out Caught by Buttler!! A day of soft dismissals. Now this one is a little diversion. An unlucky one. Slams the slog sweep, the ball hits the man at FSL and pops up for it to be gobbled up by the keeper. SL's day getting worse. Bess gets a third wicket and all of them, to be fair, have been lucky ones. Shanaka walks off gingerly as the third umpire confirmed that it wasn't a bump ball and went thud into the FSL's shin and then into the gloves. Shanaka c Buttler b Dom Bess 23(48) [4s-3]
