OUT! Caught. Mohammad Nabi to Angelo Mathews. Off break length ball, to leg down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Khan. That's a poor shot from Mathews, looking for the maximum he succeeds only in hitting the ball straight down long-on's throat. This partnership was just starting to look promising for Sri Lanka with overs to come from the lesser bowlers too. Mathews tried to take on Nabi though and paid the price, easy catch for Rashid Khan.
