Dushmantha Chameera to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Timing and placement! Quinton de Kock is a class apart. He opens his account with a glorious boundary. Chameera delivers it on a length and outside off, Quinton drives it on the up and beats the diving short point fielder to his left. The ball races behind and finds the fence in a flash.

Dushmantha Chameera to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Hammered away! Another full toss, outside off, de Kock stays leg-side of this delivery and smacks it over cover-point for a boundary. Chameera was eyeing a wide yorker but the execution was not there.

Praveen Jayawickrama to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! De Kock is just making batting look so easy. A tossed up delivery, landing full around leg, Quinton brings out the reverse sweep and nails it wide of backward point for a boundary. Praveen Jayawickrama is under big pressure at the moment.

7.5
Dasun Shanaka to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Well played! Shanaka is overdoing with his slower ones. This time the length is short and the line is outside off. Hendricks anticipates it, waits for the ball and cuts it late to find the gap behind backward point.

8.2
Wanindu Hasaranga to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! Here comes the first breakthrough! Hasaranga bowls a loopy full ball on middle, spinning away, Reeza Hendricks kneels down to swipe it over the leg side but gets a top edge. Never a good idea to do that against the spin. The ball flies towards backward square leg and Dinesh Chandimal runs across to his left to complete the catch safely. 42 needed off 70 balls.

Maheesh Theekshana to Aiden Markram, EDGY FOUR! Quicker one, full and around off, Markram gets forward to push at it but edges it behind. It hurries past first slip and finds the fence at third man.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! What a lovely shot! Quinton de Kock brings up his fifty, his 10th in T20Is and first against Sri Lanka. He has been in some form for some time now. Just extending it forward. Fuller and around off, de Kock has enough space to free his arms as he rifles his drive through extra cover for a boundary.
