Siriwardana to Russell, no run, traps this between inside edge and his front pad as he comes forward
 

Slip and a gully in place

 
 

An opening for Sri Lanka? But here HE comes. Well, so we thought! Gayle started to walk out but the umpire has held him back because of the time he was off the field. The chants go up around the ground again. So it's Russell instead

Siriwardana to Ramdin, OUT, that's pretty ugly! Moves to the leg side, then attempts an almighty mow, exposes his stumps and his cleaned up. Credit to the bowler, too, as that turned significantly. Awful shot, really

D Ramdin b Siriwardana 5 (13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 38.46

Siriwardana to Fletcher, 1 run, full outside off, he whips his hands through a drive, elegantly played to deep cover
12.3
Siriwardana to Fletcher, 2 runs, worked off his pads down to long leg
12.2
Siriwardana to Fletcher, 2 runs, flicked from outside off through the leg side, placed wide of long on to bring up Fletcher's fifty off 37 balls. He's filled the Gayle void very well so far
12.1
Siriwardana to Fletcher, no run, fired in at leg stump, played down by his feet
