The next ball is a big outswinger but away from the stumps and is called a wide.

Bumrah bowls another beauty as Mendis edges the full delivery but it flies wide of the stumps for a single to thirdman and Nissanka keeps out the last ball to end an eventful first over.

Mohammed Siraj from the other end. The first ball is away from the stumps as Mendis leaves before he plays and misses next ball trying to drive the full delivery which swings away to go past the edge.

Another leave from Mendis before Siraj beats him again with an unplayable outswinger, drawing the right-hander forward before it goes past the edge.

Siraj produces another cracking delivery which swings away quite a bit to beat the edge.

Three slips in place as Mendis plays and misses for the fourth time in the over as he looks to defend.

Siraj makes a superb start with a maiden over.
