Ashwin also looking very threatening as Mendis is caught in two minds, initially looking to sweep but tapping it on the leg side for one.

Shami drops a bit short and gives some width as Mendis cuts it past point for his second four.

And Shami gets revenge immediately off the next ball with the wicket of Mendis, who shuffles across and looks to play across the line but is beaten and is dismissed leg before wicket for 12.

Interestingly, Sri Lanka don't take the review as Mendis walks straight off after having a small chat with his captain Chandimal. And unbelievably, the ball tracker shows that the ball was slipping down the leg side and would have missed the leg stump.

Shami bowls a beauty to new batsman Angelo Mathews, extra bounce and movement as the right-hander has a poke and nearly gets the outside edge.
