Gamage to Hope, 1 no ball, chases and he's gone! By far the most harmless delivery after lunch. Short and wide outside off. Hurries through a square drive off the back foot and gets a thick outside edge. But there might be hope for him. Gamage appears to have overstepped...yes! No-ball. :lol:

Matthews with a good catch this time. Chase out to herath for 38.

Tea 153-5.

Sri Lanka 185 all out.

Cummins 3-39
Two wickets each for Roach and Gabriel.

The trend seems to be to bat again, isn't it?
