17.2 OUT! BOWLED! Akila Dananjaya strikes and he is pumped up. Rahmanullah Gurbaz goes two short of his fifty. he was playing so so well. This is full and on leg, just like the previous ball but Rahmanullah Gurbaz goes for the sweep but misses and it rolls past him and clips the leg pole. 96/2

4.3 OUT! RUN OUT! Such a good start for Afghanistan but they lose a wicket in worst possible manner. Length and on off, Ibrahim Zadran punches it to the right of cover-point. Avishka Fernando dives, collects and throws at the bowler's end. One stump to aim and he hits it. Ibrahim Zadran gave up as he ran across. 39/1

29.5 OUT! LBW! Shah has been given LBW out but he reviews it. Might be due to the height. This is full and around middle and off. Shah steps across to sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. UltraEdge shows no bat on this one. Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS. The ball stayed low enough to hit the stumps. Another batter goes while offering the sweep. 166/4

20 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Akila Dananjaya has another one. Flights it full and outside off, spins away this time. Shahidi prods across to defend but edges it to first slip where Pathum Nissanka takes it well. Sri Lanka making a fine comeback here. 108/3

44.2 OUT! BOWLED! Sri Lanka are doing a massive job here to put late pressure! A yorker right on the base of middle. Omarzai shuffles across to paddle but misses. Might have hit the boots as it rolls back onto the stumps. Sri Lanka could keep Afghanistan under 270 which would be a tremendous job. 237/6

39.5 OUT! BOWLED! Excellent stuff from Dunith Wellalage! Bowls it well wide of off, in the rough and it spins back in sharply. Ikram Alikhil goes back to cut but but is beaten and it brushes the flap of the pads and rolls onto the stumps. Timely wicket as these two added more than 50 in no time. 223/5

46.4 OUT! GONE! This will make a lot of difference to the scoreboard. A full toss on middle, almost a freebie but Nabi doesn't time well and hits it to deep mid-wicket where Sadeera Samarawickrama takes a sitter. 255/8

46.1 OUT! GONE! This is full and outside off. Ashraf gets underneath and smashes it to long off. Charith Asalanka judges the flight well and takes it above his head. Afghanistan yet again looking shaky with the bat. 250/7

48.2 OUT! GONE! Qais Ahmad goes for the same shot but Pramod Madushan removes all the pace from it, this is hit high and to deep mid-wicket where Sadeera Samarawickrama takes it. 266/10

47.3 OUT! BOWLED! Asitha Fernando has the last laugh. A yorker, around middle and off. Fareed is late to get his bat down and gets a bottom edge back onto the stumps. 260/9

32.3 OUT! GONE! Flighted, full and outside  off, spins away. Nissanka looks to slog-sweep but top edges it to point where Mohammad Nabi takes a dolly. End of Nissanka's brilliance. A standing ovation from the whole ground. 253/3

23 OUT! Nervous 90s for Avishka Fernando as he goes. A slow walk for him! Floated, outside off. Avishka Fernando tries to loft it over extra cover but mistimes and hits it straight in the hands of Sharafuddin Ashraf inside the ring. Avishka Fernando has done his job. Deserved a ton though. 173/1

32 OUT! CHOPPED ON! A consolation prize for Nabi! Flat and around off, spins in. Mendis goes back and tries to chop but it spins too much than expected and edges it onto the stumps. A quick innings from the skipper. 251/2
