Over 4.3 RAS Lakmal bowls a good length delivery to Keaton Jennings, out Caught by Dickwella!! Pitches this one of a good length around off and Jennings feels for it, goes for a drive. The ball keeps straight, kisses the blade and Dickwella does the rest.

Over 18.6 Malinda Pushpakumara bowls a quicker arm ball to Joe Root, out Bowled!! Root prods forward to defend and there is a small gap between bat and pad, the ball kisses the inside edge and then brushes the pad before rolling onto the stumps.

Over 25.5 Akila Dananjaya tossed up delivery to Rory Burns, out Caught by Dhananjaya de Silva!! Teased up around off, Burns has to play at that because of the angle, prods forward and looks to block, the ball spins and takes the outside edge to slip. Dhanajaya grabs it low to the ground. 

Over 34.2 Malinda Pushpakumara bowls a quicker arm ball to Moeen Ali, out Lbw!! Moeen went back in his crease as he looked to whip and missed, struck pretty low and in front of leg-stump

Over 64.4 Akila Dananjaya bowls a quicker arm ball to Jack Leach, out Bowled!!  Leach was caught in his crease, neither committed forward nor went back fully, caught in a half-cock stance, the ball found its way past the bat and rattled into the off-stump

Over 75.4 Dilruwan Perera tossed up delivery to Sam Curran,  out Caught by Karunaratne!! Curran dances down the wicket and gives himself a bit of room, he wanted to go straight but ends up slicing it to long-off. Karunaratne didn't have to do much, steadied himself and took it comfortably.
