WKamindu Mendis c Ravindra Jadeja b Prasidh Krishna
Prasidh Krishna to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! Gone! Mendis cannot believe it. This is a soft dismissal. The spinner were ineffective and Gill went back to his pacer, and Prasidh has delivered. 135ks short and banged into the wicket, it was there to be pulled but Mendis does not keep it down, neither does he get enough elevation to clear mid-wicket, hits it straight and at a good height for Jadeja. The partnership was flowing nicely and it has been nipped out. What makes it worse for Sri Lanka is, it has come at the stroke of lunch. Kamindu Mendis c Ravindra Jadeja b Prasidh Krishna 32(58) [4s-3 6s-1]
