Overs1.3
Score9 - 1

Matthew Kuhnemann to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Outfoxed and outplayed! Matthew Kuhnemann weaves his magic in the very first over and Sri Lanka lose their first wicket already! This is an arm ball, from around the stumps. It keeps coming into the batter and slides into the middle and leg stump channel on a good length. Pathum Nissanka is found in two minds whether to commit on the front foot or go on the back foot. Finds himself pinned on the crease and cramped up for room as he tries to negotiate it from the back foot. But the ball skids and sneaks through the gap between the bat and the pad to crash into the stumps. Sri Lanka are 9/1 and trail by 148 runs.
