7:49 AM
Wicket! Caught By Kusal Mendis. No Run. No century for Saud Shakeel, but a 100-wicket haul for Asitha Fernando! The delivery starts outside the off stump and comes back down leg. Shakeel takes an upright stance within the line and tries to guide the ball towards its destination. He attempts to pull the delivery to the leg side but gets stuck in the bounce and gloves it past the right of the wicketkeeper. Kusal Mendis makes sure that he moves swiftly behind the stumps and takes his fifth catch in the Test!
