Andile Phehlukwayo 17(36)
21.1
Asalanka to Phehlukwayo, out Caught by Chandimal!! Asalanka strikes first ball and falls on the floor in celebration. Too close to cut as this sliding on rapidly just outside off, Phehlukwayo has tried that shot many times, with little success today, eventually it leads to his dismissal. A bottom-edge and superbly held by Chandimal low down. The Lankans knew it straightaway and umpire Lyndon Hannibal raised his finger. Review wasted. Phehlukwayo c Chandimal b Asalanka 17(36) [4s-2]
20.6
de Silva to Phehlukwayo, 1 run, did that carry to short cover? The fielder is down on the ground and it is Wanindu Hasaranga. Just about carried, but harsh to call it a drop. Tossed up and Phehlukwayo hammered the drive low and to the left of short cover, Hasaranga dove and the ball brushed his fingertips before running away
20.4
de Silva to Phehlukwayo, 1 run, tossed up on off, Phehlukwayo gets forward to drive to long-off
20.3
de Silva to Phehlukwayo, no run, slides on straight, Phehlukwayo picks it off the pitch, goes back to block
20.2
de Silva to Phehlukwayo, no run, that's not the length to be cutting, fullish and a bit of extra bounce, Phehlukwayo nearly edges it to Chandimal
20.1
de Silva to Phehlukwayo, FOUR, now de Silva drops short outside off, Phehlukwayo cuts hard and beats extra-cover, no chance for the man in the deep as well. Consecutive boundaries
19.3
M Theekshana to Phehlukwayo, 1 run, flat and punched past M Theekshana's dive
19.2
M Theekshana to Phehlukwayo, no run, the carrom ball that nearly produces a wicket. Phehlukwayo though gets away after a review. He's not picking these carrom balls. This came in rapidly from the deck, Phehlukwayo went back, looking to cut, hit the pad-flap with the bat, while the ball struck the pad, since it was angling in and striking around leg-stump, HawkEye shows it to be missing. The original decision has to be overturned
19.2
M Theekshana to Phehlukwayo, wide, called a wide but Chandimal has missed a stumping. May have even flicked the boot of Phehlukwayo as he advanced, Chandimal moves to his right but the ball strikes him near the chest, Phehlukwayo was way out had the keeper collected it cleanly
18.4
de Silva to Phehlukwayo, 1 run, shortish, Phehlukwayo rocks back to punch to long-off

de Silva to Phehlukwayo, 1 run, dragged down, Phehlukwayo cuts to sweeper cover
17.4
M Theekshana to Phehlukwayo, 1 run, oohs and aahs, aiyooos all around from the Sri Lankas. Phehlukwayo is completely done in length as the carrom ball slides on, Phehlukwayo is on the back foot and has to rapidly get the bat down, thin inside-edge saves him
17.3
M Theekshana to Phehlukwayo, no run, pushed through, Phehlukwayo comes down the track and takes it on the pad, appeal for LBW but the 3m rule down the wicket goes in favor of the batsman. The appeal dies down quickly
17.2

17.1
M Theekshana to Phehlukwayo, no run, angled in from round the wicket, on the middle and leg line, Phehlukwayo defends
16.3
Hasaranga to Phehlukwayo, 4 wides, called as wides, Chandimal is blinded and it runs away, Avishka Fernando chases and has he pulled it back in the nick of time? Replays being seen and the third umpire is happy with that I guess. Pulled back inches inside, Avishka ensured he had nothing in contact with the cushions when the ball was in his grasp. Fine effort that. And the batsmen have run 3 so 4 more to the total. Hasaranga slipped it down leg, past everyone
16.2
Hasaranga to Phehlukwayo, FOUR, Kamindu Mendis overruns the ball and puts his hand up to apologise after the ball spun away to beat him to the fence. Phehlukwayo with an orthodox sweep to deep square leg, hit hard and in the air, bounced and fooled Mendis in the deep
16.1

13.6
M Theekshana to Phehlukwayo, 1 run, flighted up just outside off, driven to long-off
13.5
M Theekshana to Phehlukwayo, no run, big appeal from the keeper, not so much from the others. But Sri Lanka have taken the review. Skiddy carrom-ball that turns in from a length from round the wicket. Phehlukwayo plays back to it, getting himself into trouble. But he's got an inside edge. Would've missed leg stump anyway
13.4
