Kyle Mayers 45(70)
57.1
Lakmal to Mayers, out Caught by Dhananjaya de Silva!! Edged and caught - a loose drive from Mayers and Lakmal continues to reap rewards for his discipline and persistence. Pitched up in that channel wide of off, Mayers went with hard hands on the drive, the ball seamed away just enough to catch the outside edge and DDS does the rest - safe catch at second slip and Mayers's enterprising knock comes to an end. Mayers c Dhananjaya de Silva b Lakmal 45(70) [4s-6 6s-2]
