Wicket! Caught By Pasindu Sooriyabandara. No Run. Nice Catch by Pasindu and 2nd wicket for Dilshan! Good length ball outside the off stump. Ghori late-cuts without taking any footwork. He tries to steer the ball down to third man, but he is unable to cope with the bounce. Outside edge goes past the bat on the left side of gully position. Quick reaction and diving from Sooriyabanda to take an absolute hold. He broken the 96-run stand.
