W Sundar to A Fernando, OUT! TAKEN! There goes Fernando and it is a much-needed breakthrough for the hosts as the partnership between the two was starting to get going. The ploy to get on a spinner has worked. Fernando comes down the track but gets a little too close to the pitch of the delivery. Due to that, he fails to get the elevation he would've wanted as he tries to go over mid off. Holes out to Saini there who takes a decent catch.

Spin into the attack for the first time this evening. Washington Sundar is introduced into the attack. He normally opens with the new ball in T20Is but today he comes in as a second change.

J Bumrah to A Fernando, FOUR! The last ball spoils the over! 9 from it. Bumrah did so very well to keep it down to five from five balls after going for a boundary on the very first but in the end, slips one on the pads. It is hit over mid-wicket and another boundary results. The Lankans are off to a good start here.
