UPDATE - 4.41 am GMT - Prabath Jayasuriya walks back and so do the rest of the players as the rain has picked up at the Galle and the covers are coming on. A bit heavy as we speak as more covers are brought on and almost full ground is covered. Stay tuned.
OUT! LBW! Ajaz Patel strike on Day 2! Jayasuriya has taken the review. He thinks that is turning a bit. Tossed up, full and on middle, spins away. Jayasuriya goes back to block but gets beaten on the outside edge and gets hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. UltraEdge shows no bat. Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS.
