Dasun Shanaka 74(38)
19.6
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, no run, beaten. Short delivery outside off stump, Shanaka looks to upper cut and misses, sees if it's called for height, but it's a legal ball
19.5
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, FOUR, off the glove, past Samson, test for fine leg and the ball wins the race. Short delivery, Shanaka swings hard, gets it on the glove and it runs away for four
19.4
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, no run, short delivery, Shanaka looks to pull, misses
19.3
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, 2 runs, high full toss, picked away over backward square leg. Shanaka was standing outside the crease and the umps reckons this isn't high enough to call a no ball
19.2
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, SIX, it's a one-handed six over backward square and it's not Rishabh Pant batting. Gee how cruel is this venue for bowlers! Harshal Patel actually almost deceived Shanaka with a short slower delivery, Shanaka was losing shape as he played the pull early, the bottom hand was off the handle, but the connection was good enough to clear the boundary
19.1
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, no run, lovely slower delivery! Slower delivery, the off-cutter but Shanaka didn't pick that up. Slogged early, the ball was close to taking out the off pole
18.4
Avesh Khan to Shanaka, 1 run, wide full delivery, oh he has sliced this and the ball is racing away. Third man cuts it off to the right
18.3
Avesh Khan to Shanaka, SIX, ah lovely! There is the six Sri Lanka so badly needed in this innings. Low full toss, Shanaka's eyes lit up but he held his composure and chose to loft this neatly down the ground than have a hack across the line. Top class innings this from Shanaka
18.3
Avesh Khan to Shanaka, wide, this is too short and too wide
18.2
Avesh Khan to Shanaka, FOUR, slapped away. Short and wide, hit just in front of square, beats the fielder in the deep and it's four more. Too much width on that occasion from Avesh Khan
18.1
Avesh Khan to Shanaka, FOUR, step across the stumps and that has allowed him to take this on the full and loft down the ground than go over cover. Two fielders converge. Ohhh they let it go! Jadeja was coming from long-off and he thought Hooda will dive. Hooda thought Jadeja will do the needful. The ball dodged both of the them and that is a fine fifty from the captain
17.6
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, 1 run, slogged along the ground to deep mid-wicket. Another 12-run over for Sri Lanka
17.5
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, FOUR, he has sliced this lofted drive over cover, rather point. No one sweeping the off-side fence and Ravi Bishnoi drops his head because he knew he couldn't have offered width with no protection in the deep
17.4
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, FOUR, lovely use of the feet and lovely off-drive. Fullish delivery, Shanaka stepped out and got to the pitch of the ball, muscled that hit, long-off was wide and he had no chance
17.2
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, 1 run, hinted at advancing but Ravi Bishnoi fired this up at 105kph to keep the batter calm, just a tuck past the bowler to long-on for a run
16.6
Siraj to Shanaka, 2 runs, another very brisk two. Short slower delivery, worked away to mid-wicket, Karunaratne skates on and returns before the fielder could get to the ball from the deep. Shanaka was quick too
16.5
Siraj to Shanaka, 2 runs, very good yorker attacking base of middle and off stump. Dug out towards mid-wicket, big open space and Karunaratne attacks the second run
16.4
Siraj to Shanaka, FOUR, another very impressive hit from Shanaka. Short of a length delivery wide of off stump, looked like pace off, but Shanaka picked that and waited before slapping this hard in front of cover
16.3
Siraj to Shanaka, no run, lovely wide yorker, Shanaka can't get bat on ball
16.2
Siraj to Shanaka, FOUR, lovely! Shanaka the batter has been so impressive of late. Siraj runs in and bowls a cross-seam length delivery, enough width for Shanaka to happily open the bat face last second and find the gap with third man in
15.4
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, 1 run, knocked behind square
15.3
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, FOUR, lovely wristy flick. Full and angling in on the pads, Shanaka flicks behind square, beats the man at 45
15.1
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, 1 run, dabbed to backward point, quick single and they risk it. No direct-hit
14.5
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, 1 run, flighted delivery on the stumps, Shanaka advances and flicks to long-on
14.2
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, 1 run, fullish delivery just outside off stump, Shanaka leans forward and drives towards long-on
13.6
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, 2 runs, down on his knees for the sweep, beats short fine leg. Lovely diving effort at deep backward square leg by Siraj to save two
13.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, 1 run, fullish delivery, Shanaka leans forward and drives along the ground to backward point
13.1
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, 2 runs, shortish and on the leg stump, flicked to deep mid-wicket
12.5
Harshal Patel to Shanaka, 1 run, short and just outside off - Shanaka swivels across, rolls his wrists and pulls it behind square on the on-side for a single
11.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, 1 run, Kuldeep drifts one full and down leg as Shanaka pre-meditated the reverse sweep, gets it behind square on the off-side for a single
11.1
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, 1 run, tossed up on the leg-stump line, Shanaka picks the length early and sweeps it behind square on the on-side for a single
10.6
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, 1 run, the wrong 'un once again, Shanaka knew what was coming as he went for the slog-sweep, drags it off the inside edge, behind square on the on-side for a single
10.4
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, 1 run, very full and on off, a whippy drive down to long-on for a single
10.4
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, wide, the wrong 'un once again, but he has pushed it down leg, called as a wide
9.6
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, FOUR, a rare fumble from Siraj and an even rarer boundary for Sri Lanka - was a full-toss, but Shanaka had already pre-meditated the sweep, got it backward of square on the on-side and straight to Siraj, who slipped as he went down and let the ball go through
9.4
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, 1 run, tossed up on off, Shanaka gets down low and sweeps it behind square on the on-side for a single
9.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, no run, lovely delivery, sharp work from Samson and they reckon that they have got the Sri Lankan captain stumped. Was the wrong 'un and Shanaka was beaten completely as he pushed forward - did he drag his feet forward, if so, did he get back in time? They're checking for a caught behind, but there's gap between bat and ball - UltraEdge confirms the same. Onto stumping now: His feet was in the air for a moment, but I reckon he grounded it back in time. The third umpire has a couple of looks and is happy as well - NOT OUT is the call
9.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Shanaka, no run, tossed up just outside off, Shanaka presses well forward on the defensive push
8.6
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, 2 wides, bad ball from Bishnoi - dragged it short and well down leg, past Shanaka's pull and Samson does well to get a bit of glove on it, saved three extra runs
8.5
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, 2 runs, another wrong 'un and Shanaka didn't spot it once again - was playing for the turn, this one skidded on, found the inside edge and rolled backward of square on the on-side for a couple
8.4
Ravi Bishnoi to Shanaka, no run, appeal for LBW, was another wrong 'un and skidded past Shanaka's attempted tuck to the on-side - the impact was in front of leg-stump
