FOUR! Boundaries flowing now for Sri Lanka and Samarawickrama is getting all the freebies he could ask for. Pace on this time but short and wide again, Samarawickrama strides across and cuts it firmly past point for another boundary.

FOUR! Too much width there from Shepherd and Samarawickrama doesn't miss out. Takes some pace off that one, bowling it a bit short and well wide, Samarawickrama waits well and reaches out before hitting it past point for a boundary.
17.3
.
Hits the deck hard over off and keeps the seam upright, Samarawickrama hangs back and just blocks it off.

Back of a length again and angled wide of the off stump, Samarawickrama moves across a bit and taps it through covers for a couple of quick runs. The 50-run stand also comes up between these two.

Bowled back of a length and outside off, Nishan Madushka hops back and cuts it away wide of deep third for a single.

FOUR! Nicely done! Pushed through quicker and a bit shorter around off, Samarawickrama just stays put and guides it with an angled bat, using the pace on the bat and wide of deep third for a boundary.
16.5
.
Pushed through quicker and at the stumps, Sadeera Samarawickrama is late to jam his bat down but manages to get an inside edge on it.
16.4
.
On a length around middle, it is from the front of the hand again and Samarawickrama plays all over the ball, getting hit on the pads. Half an appeal for LBW and nothing more.
16.3
.
Short and outside off, it is the attempted wrong'un that doesn't turn but stays low, Samarawickrama looks to cut and misses.
16.2

Too full, right in the blockhole and on off, Nishan Madushka squeezes it away to backward point where the fielder gets an awkward bounce and lets it through for a single.
16.1

Nagging length, sliding it into the pads, Samarawickrama stays back and works it away wide of mid-wicket for a single.

Bowls this one into the pitch and at the batter, Samarawickrama tucks it off the hips through square leg and picks up a single.
15.5
.
Fifth dot on the trot! Floats this one up, full and around off, Samarawickrama pushes it out towards cover-point.
15.4
.
Samarawickrama still looking a bit shaky at the crease. Slower one, on a hard length and well outside off, Samarawickrama looks to hang back and play it square on the off side but misses.
15.3
.
Loose shot from Samarawickrama! Short and wide, too wide, begging to be hit, Samarawickrama doesn't move his feet and just reaches out to cut but misses.
15.2
.
Lovely delivery! Back of a length and around off, it is the cross-seamer as well and this one nips away, leaving Sadeera Samarawickrama bamboozled. That one held in the pitch as well.
