4.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Dushmantha Chameera strikes, and Sri Lanka have a breakthrough. On a hard length, angling in from over the wicket, around off, Zeeshan Ali presses back and looks to swipe it across. But as the ball gets some extra bounce, he only manages to get a top edge that flies high in the air but goes towards first slip. The keeper, Kusal Mendis, calls for the catch and pouches it around his chest. Chameera is pumped up, and so are his teammates as they celebrate the wicket. Zeeshan Ali departs for 23 (17), and Hong Kong, China are 41/1. 41/1

15.5 OUT! TAKEN! Anshy Rath falls just short of a well-deserved fifty! Dushmantha Chameera lands this back of a length and on off, and it does not bounce that much. Rath keeps his weight on the front foot and heaves it away, but fails to get the connection right. He hits it from the bottom half as the ball goes flat and in the air wide towards deep square leg. Kamindu Mendis runs to his right a bit and pouches it safely before tumbling onto the ground. The budding 61-run stand has been broken, and Hong Kong, China are 118/3 now. 118/3

8.4 OUT! STUMPED! Wanindu Hasaranga strikes! Good reflexes behind the stumps, and Babar Hayat's short stay comes to an end now. This is a wrong'un, full and on middle, turns in and keeps low too. Hayat comes down the track to go big down the ground but fails to read the googly and gets a bottom edge onto his pads. The ball rolls and goes under the keeper's gloves to hit his pads, but Kusal Mendis is quick to gather the ball and breaks the stumps in a flash. The replay confirms that Hayat is short of his crease. Hong Kong, China are 57/2 now! 57/2

17.2 OUT! TAKEN! Dasun Shanaka strikes in his first over! He bangs this into the pitch, outside off, and this one is there to be put away. Yasim Murtaza accepts the width and slashes hard at it to carve it over point, but only gets a thick outside edge that flies straight down the throat of deep backward point, where Dushmantha Chameera makes no mistake. Big wicket for Lanka, as the in-form Murtaza goes back cheaply. Hong Kong, China are four down now! 127/4

15.1 OUT! PATHUM NISSANKA IS RUN OUT! That has been a suicidal thing to do, and Pathum Nissanka walks back after an impressive inning of 68 runs off 44 balls. A bit short and outside off, Kusal Perera comes forward and clips it towards deep mid-wicket with soft hands. He takes the first one hard and pushes his partner for the second, but they decide a bit late. In the meantime, Yasim Murtaza himself runs across to his left and gets to the ball quickly with a slide. Nissanka tries to hurry, but is halfway through the pitch when the throw comes at the bowling end. Shahid Wasif, backing up at the bowler's end, collects the throw and dislodges the bails. The third umpire is called in, and the replays show that Pathum is well short of his crease despite putting a full-length dive with extended arms to slide his bat. The last thing Sri Lanka could have done was to throw a wicket here. Also, Dasun Shanaka comes out to the middle now. 119/3

4 OUT! TAKEN! Ayush Shukla has the last laugh here! After conceding 15 in the over, he gets the breakthrough for Hong Kong, China. He bangs this hard into the pitch, on middle, and pace on this time. Kusal Mendis stays back and looks to pull it away, but the ball just gets a bit big on him. He gets a top edge as the ball goes high in the air, wide of deep square leg. Anshy Rath runs a long way to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a fantastic catch with a reverse cup, tumbling forward. Sri Lanka are 26/1, chasing 150! 26/1

9.3 OUT! TAKEN! Aizaz Khan strikes on his third ball, and this is a big wicket for Hong Kong, China. Short of a length and outside off, but with pace taken off. Kamil Mishara rises with the bounce, but he has to drag it as he extends his arms and tries to pull it. Gets deceived by the lack of pace on it, and the ball catches the top edge of the bat and goes in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Babar Hayat runs forward, judges the catch well and dives to take it just above the turf. Aizaz is pumped up as he celebrates the wicket, and Kamil Mishara walks back for 19 (18). The fielding of Hong Kong, China has been pretty good so far. Sri Lanka are 62/2, needing 88 runs more in the last 63 balls. 62/2

15.2 OUT! LBW! GONE! Hong Kong, China has two in two, and suddenly, Sri Lanka are starting to crumble. Full and around off from Yasim Murtaza, Kusal Perera gets down on one knee and across to sweep but misses. Gets pinged on the front pad as the ball sneaks past under the bat. A massive appeal for LBW goes up from the bowler and the keeper before the umpire raises his finger. However, Kusal Perera has taken a review and referred it upstairs. The third umpire is called in, and there is nothing on the UltraEdge. However, the Ball Tracking presents that the pitching is in line, the impact is the Umpire's call, and it would have hit the top of the middle stump. The on-field call stays, and Perera will have to walk back. Both the set batters gone in two balls! 119/4

16.2 OUT! TAKEN! GONE! Sri Lanka are five down. Short and outside off, Charith Asalanka rocks back and looks to cut it. But the ball skids through and turns away as well from the batter. He ends up slicing it off the outer half of the bat towards short third, where Ayush Shukla takes it to his left. 122/5

17.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Sri Lanka are crumbling here in Dubai as they have lost their sixth wicket. Slower and fuller, around off, Kamindu Mendis uses his feet and looks to take on the bowler. But as the ball gets some grip and turn off the deck, he mistimes his shot off the toe end of the bat towards deep mid-wicket, where Babar Hayat takes a well-judged catch. 127/6
