Udana to A Perera, out Caught by Chandimal!! This is smart captaincy from Mathews. Got one of his main bowlers on to force a wicket and Perera succumbs. Poor from Perera to not understand the ploy. Plays an ill-advised swipe across the line to a back of the hand slower delivery, extra bounce and the leading edge flies towards cover, the gloveman calls for it, runs and takes the catch. A Perera c Chandimal b Udana 21(16) [4s-2 6s-1]

Qais Ahmad to Shanaka, FOUR, gift first ball and Shanaka accepts it gleefully. Drifting down leg, Shanaka kneels down and nails the sweep to long leg, no chance for the fielder in the deep

Chameera to Tharanga, out Caught by Russell!! That's what extra pace can do.

Tharanga c Russell b Chameera 25(24) [4s-3 6s-1]

Mathews to Samit Patel, FOUR, edged and four. Walks down the wicket to make his own pace but the ball swings away outside off, goes hard and hence the outside edge flies over the short third man fielder

Mathews to Tharanga, SIX, easy pickings. Very similar to the delivery that got Dickwella. Slow, short and down leg, Tharanga waited unlike Dickwella and helped it along the way over long leg. First maximum of the day

Udana to Samit Patel, leg byes, FOUR, that was bound to hapoen. Udana was struggling with his normal pacy deliveries. Third time he drifts onto the pads and this time there's a connection, off the pads and races to the fine leg fence

Udana to Stirling, out Caught by T de Silva!! Thikshila almost made a meal of it. Once again pace off doing the trick for Colombo.

Perfect start for the Kings. Stirling c T de Silva b Udana 1(3)

Mathews to Dickwella, out Caught by Chandimal!! There's the early breakthrough. This is teasing stuff from Mathews.

Dickwella c Chandimal b Mathews 1(4)
