3.5 OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Azmatullah Omarzai breaks through for Afghanistan! End of Pathum Nissanka's onslaught.

He plays all around it as the ball sneaks past the inside edge and pings him on the front pad. He is trapped right in front of the stumps and the umpire raises the finger. Mendis knows he is a goner and does not bother about taking the review. Afghanistan get the breakthrough they were after. 45/1

4.2 OUT! TAKEN! Fazalhaq Farooqi with a great comeback! He gets the other opener and Afghanistan will be relieved to see the back of both openers, who were taking them on. Stays over the wicket and keeps it slower, on a back of a length, around off, Kusal Mendis looks to replicate the previous shot and gets on the front foot. He fails to pick the variation and the ball sticks in the surface as well. Mendis is through his shot early and ends up lobbing it tamely to point where Noor Ahmad does the rest. 49/2

9.5 OUT! Mr. President Mohammad Nabi removes Dhananjaya de Silva. Cleverly bowled by Nabi as he drags his length a bit more as he sees Dhananjaya de Silva jump down the track, Dhananjaya de Silva looks for the wild heave over long on but gets it off the cue end straight towards Ibrahim Zadran at long on. 86/3

He gets undone by the slowness of the delivery and lobs it off the toe-end of the bat towards deep cover where Naveen-ul-Haq settles under it and does the rest. Sri Lanka have lost half their side and this has been some fight back from Afghanistan. 121/5
