17:32 Local Time, 04:32 GMT, 10:02 IST: A much better batting performance by Sri Lanka as compared to the previous two matches. Pathum Nissanka scored a brisk fifty before he was retired hurt due to a groin injury, however, his innings set the platform for the visitors. Kusal Mendis also played a crucial knock and made sure the scoreboard kept ticking. Kamindu Mendis chipped in with a handy contribution following that, while Nissanka came back and struck a couple of lusty blows before he was dismissed by Santner. Towards the later stages, the lower-batters in the company of Liyanage had some pivotal partnerships and ensured Sri Lanka reached the 290-run mark. Santner picked a couple of wickets, while Matt Henry was the pick of the bowlers as the pacer claimed four wickets. Back in 30 minutes for the second essay..
