SL vs AFG Live Cricket Score

0.2 OUT! LBW! Would you believe it? Sri Lanka strike in the very second delivery and Asitha Fernando provides them the breakthrough early on. On a nagging length which nips back into the batter slightly,  Ibrahim Zadran comes forward and plays outside the line of the ball and the ball thuds his pads. A sharp appeal and the Umpire raises his finger in no time. Ibrahim Zadran knows it is in front of the sticks and he does not opt for a review. He perishes on a duck.  0/1

14.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A wicket out of nowhere and Noor Ali Zadran will be very disappointed with that shot. Vishwa Fernando with a nothing delivery, just dug in a bit short over middle and angling across. Noor Ali Zadran shuffles across a touch and looks to help the pull behind square leg but is early into the shot. The ball goes up high off the top edge and comes down near the short leg region. The bowler calls it early and takes a safe catch. Sri Lanka get their second wicket and Afghanistan have to start over again a bit.  57/2

45.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brilliance by Sadeera Samarawickrama behind the wickets and it is Rahmat Shah who has to walk back on 91. Drops it fuller and at the middle, Rahmat tries to play the paddle sweep and does not keep it down the ground, Sadeera from behind the wicket, shuffles well in advance to his left prejudging his shot, as there is no leg slip in place, and manages to grab it to his left. The Third Umpire checks for a fair catch and confirms that the bat is involved. The zoomer comes up and it makes it clear that the catch is cleanly taken before the ground. OUT given.  155/5

32.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Hashmatullah Shahidi with a lapse in concentration and the Afghan skipper has to walk back. Vishwa Fernando bowls this on a good length and pushes it wide of the off stump line, Shahidi doesn't move his feet and just pokes at it away from the body. The ball takes a faint outside edge and goes straight through to the keeper and Sadeera Samarawickrama makes no mistake. A good bowling change and Vishwa Fernando picks up his second wicket.  109/3

33.5 OUT! TIMBER! Oh, dear! Nasir Jamal has left a straight one and Prabath Jayasuriya gets his first wicket. This is nicely tossed up on a length and on off stump, Jamal doesn't read it off the pitch and thinks the ball will turn away and hence, shoulders his arms. The ball though goes straight on and hits the top of off stump. Jamal departs for a duck and Sri Lanka have a couple of quick wickets to put Afghanistan on the back foot.  110/4

50.5 OUT! TAKEN! Incredible catch and Afghanistan's batting line-up is falling apart now. Bowls it on a length outside off, Ikram Alikhil guides it with hard hands to play the cut shot but can't manage to keep it down. It lands straight into the hands of Nishan Madushka who takes an excellent reaction catch to his right at gully to send Ikram Alikhil packing.  169/6

59.4 OUT! LBW! Qais Ahmad does go upstairs but this looks absolutely plumb. This is fuller in length and drifts in with the angle. Qais Ahmad tries to be extra innovative with that sweep shot and misses to get the connection on it. The ball sneaks over his outside edge and the umpire does not hesitate to give it Out. The UltraEdge comes up and shows that no bat is involved when the ball passes near the bat. Follows up with the Ball Tracker which also confirms three reds. Qais Ahmad departs and the decision stays. Afghanistan lose a review and also, Qais Ahmad who looked good. Afghanistan are 8 down now have lost wickets in clusters. Prabath Jayasuriya gets his third wicket.  190/8

54.3 OUT! LBW! Up goes the finger on a sharp appeal. Zia ur Rehman discusses it with his partner and sends it upstairs. Cannons from around the wicket and angles across the middle stump line and skids off the surface, Zia ur Rehman in an attempt to flick it, misses to connect the ball, playing completely down the wrong line, and it wears on his front pad. The UltraEdge shows that no bat is involved when the ball passes the bat. The Ball Tracker shows that the impact is in line and the wickets are hitting. Three reds and the Umpire is spot-on with his decision. Zia ur Rehman walks back to the hut and Afghanistan are really, really struggling to create partnerships here. Afghanistan have lost two wickets in this session so far.  182/7

62.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Afghanistan are 9 down now. A soft dismissal for Nijat Masood. Bowls a full toss on the middle, Nijat Masood hits it straight to the bowler holding his pose, and dollies a catch to Asitha Fernando who grabs it nicely on his follow-through. A dramatic collapse for Afghanistan.  198/9

62.4 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! BULL'S EYE! And it's curtains for Afghanistan. Guns a fantastic yorker on the off stump line, Mohammad Saleem looks to play it late but gets beaten by the pace. The ball bamboozles the off-pole. Sri Lanka have managed to bundle out Afghanistan below 200. Asitha Fernando finishes with an excellent 3-fer.  198/10

16.2 OUT! GONE! Nishan Madushka falls to the  trap. Excellent from the visitors. Naveed Zadran bangs it short and angles it down the leg side. Madushka tries to help it away as he tickles it but might be not aware of Noor Ali Zadran at leg slip who gets low and takes a fine catch.  93/1

29.1 OUT! GONE! The dangerous Dimuth Karunaratne goes now. He will be disappointed as this should go for runs. Qais Ahmad flights and bowls a full toss on middle. Dimuth Karunaratne flicks on the up but straight in the hands of Ibrahim Zadran at mid-wicket.  148/3

21.1 OUT! GONE! Mendis goes now. This is good stuff from the bowlers. Bangs it short and onto the body. Mendis looks to pull but gets a top edge, up in the air and to deep square leg where Zia ur Rehman settles under it and takes.  115/2

101.2 OUT! HIT WICKET! Well, the only way Angelo Mathews seemed like getting dismissed was by his own mistake. He has been HIT WICKET! This is short and down the leg side. Mathews is deep in his crease. He pulls it hard through square leg but could not stop his bat swing and it hits the stumps. Unfortunate but end of a brilliant knock. THAT WILL ALSO BE STUMPS!  410/6

92.3 OUT! TAKEN! Afghanistan finally manage to make the breakthrough. A top innings from Chandimal comes to an end. This is shorter and outside off. Chandimal looks to cut but it goes off the outside edge and the keeper takes it.  380/4

92.4 OUT! TWO IN TWO! It gets better for Afghanistan. On off, this is pushed towards mid off. The striker wants a run but Mathews is not interested. The throw is to the keeper who takes the bails off.  380/5

106.1 OUT! The first one of the day and Afghanistan removes the dangerous-looking Sadeera Samarawickrama. On a length just outside off, tempting the batter to go for that expensive drive with empty pockets at cover. Sadeera Samarawickrama lures into the shot and edges this to Rahmat Shah at gully for his dismissal.  427/7

108.4 OUT! TIMBER! This one lands on off which means Jayasuriya had to play this shot. He rocks back and looks to play at it but misses and the ball clips the top of off. Prabath Jayasuriya is now back into the Hut as the Lankans go eight down in a jiffy.  435/8

109.2 OUT! CASTLED! This one lands on a length and on off, Asitha Fernando looks to defend in the line but misses it completely as the ball hits the off pole. Asitha Fernando walks out for a duck.  439/9

89.5 OUT! BOWLED! How has that gone through? WOW! Tossed up on middle, this one comes with the arm. Ibrahim Zadran defends for the spin but misses, there is a small gap through bat and pad and the ball slips past through and hits the stumps. The ball is spinning now, Prabath Jayasuriya could come in big. End of an excellent knock from Ibrahim Zadran.  237/3

42.5 OUT! TRAPPED IN FRONT! On a length in middle and leg, tails in on the batter, Noor Ali Zadran looks for the drive but gets beaten and the ball clatters into the back pad. Loud appeal and the umpire gives it out. Noor Ali Zadran opts for a DRS but the ball tracker shows umpires call with the ball clipping the leg. Asitha Fernando strikes for Sri Lanka.  106/1

81.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The new ball does the trick. Just what Sri Lanka needed in the first hour. The last ball lit up Kasun Rajitha's eyes and he bowls it full again, outside off, Shah looks to drive but it swings away and takes the edge to the keeper.  214/2

93.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Prabath Jayasuriya strikes again! Tossed up, outside off and it spins in. Hashmatullah Shahidi went on the back foot on the last ball but comes in front for this one, tries to defend but it brushes his edge and goes to the keeper. Afghanistan losing the plot here.  246/4

94.4 OUT! Another one bites the dust! Sri Lanka are on top now. Asitha Fernando angles across a length ball, outside off. Alikhil went for it, flashes his blade and edges it to second slip where Kusal Mendis takes it. The ball was dying but Mendis got his fingers under the ball. Third umpire is convinced as well.  247/5

95.1 OUT! Wonderful, wonderful catch by Dhananjaya de Silva and Afghanistan lose another. Tossed up, outside off and it spins away. Qais Ahmad goes for the drive but it takes the outside edge and goes to first slip. Dhananjaya de Silva gets his right hand out, doesn't catch it cleanly but does enough to pluck just above the ground. Superb!  248/6

97.4 OUT! BOWLED! This is extraordinary from Prabath Jayasuriya and Zia ur Rehman is in disbelief! Tossed up, around off, the one which comes with the arm. Zia ur Rehman thought this would spins past the stumps and shoulders arms but it skids through and hits the stumps.  250/7

103.3 OUT! TIMBER! That is lovely bowling. Slows it up, it takes a lot of time to arrive. Lands around middle and then spins away. Naveed Zadran is through his attempt to go big. The ball goes past the bat and hits the top of off. Fifer for Prabath Jayasuriya. He really relishes these conditions. Some bowler in this part of the world.  271/8

109 Is there an edge? Has that bounced after hitting the bat? Lanka do feel there is an edge and it has bounced before. Review taken. By the first replay, it seems to have missed the bat. Ultra Edge coming up. OUT! The umpire feels there is a clear deviation and Nijat Masood has to walk back. Good review in the end. It was a tough one for the umpire and he rules it in favor of Lanka. Fuller and around off, Nijat Masood looks to jam it out but there is a noise as the ball passes the bat. Ultra Edge does show a spike but the bat is also hitting the ground. There though is a deviation as it passes the bat. Number 9 down.  284/9

112.3 OUT! TAKEN! There is the end of the innings! This is short and on middle, Mohammad Saleem looks to pull, it goes off the top edge and the third slip fielder takes it. AFGHANISTAN BOWLED OUT FOR 296!  296/10
