"Sri Lanka's top-order batters collapsed against the seam and swing of four fast bowlers with only Dinesh Chandimal reaching the double-figures to remain unbeaten on 40 at lunch. Resuming on 15-1, Sri Lanka lost both overnight batters in the space of four balls when Kemar Roach first had Nishan Madushka pinned plumb leg before wicket of his fourth ball and then Jayden Seales found the leading edge of nightwatcher Kasun Rajitha of his first delivery from the other end.
