10.6

8.5
Karunaratne to Samson, FOUR, loose cut, top-edged, and some lazy fielding at third man. Samson sees the width and throws his bat out, and Akila after running across, doesn't cover the line and just sticks his hand out in hope. Nah, can't touch it

Karunaratne to Prithvi Shaw, no run, another crisp full-faced punch, straight to mid-off

Karunaratne to Prithvi Shaw, no run, 127.4kph, on the back foot, nipping in, on-punch, mid-on
3.4
Karunaratne to Prithvi Shaw, wide, full, pretty wide to start with, and then nipping away further too. Left, claiming the extra
