Lakmal to Brendan Taylor, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Lakmal has been unstoppable today. He is bowling according to the plan and reaping the rewards for the same. Keeps this full and just outside off, draws Taylor into a drive and forces the miscue. The ball held back a fraction and moved in a touch to catch the inside half and it flies back low to the left of silly mid-on who grabs the dolly.
