Foulkes to Binura Fernando, out Hasaranga Run Out!! Sri Lanka have imploded quite spectacularly here! It's all but over for them now. Full on off-stump, Binura Fernando drove it straight back to the bowler, he had to get Hasaranga back on strike but he just stood his ground, meanwhile Hasaranga had walked out of his crease looking for a single, couldn't get back in time as Foulkes turned and underarmed it back on to the stumps. Hasaranga run out (Foulkes) 5(2) [4s-1]

Foulkes to Binura Fernando, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

Binura Fernando, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Foulkes to Theekshana, out Caught by Jacob Duffy!! Another wicket goes down! Very full and just outside off, Theekshana went right across his stumps looking to scoop it, fine-leg was up so the shot was on but the execution wasn't right, he ended up scooping it straight up into the air and Duffy took it easily after having plenty of time to settle under it. Theekshana c Jacob Duffy b Foulkes 1(2)

Remarkable win by Nz expert in this Format Sl 121/0 chacing 173 lost the game

SL lost 8 wkts for 43 runs from 121/0
