Sufyan Mehmood comes into the attack, but Dasun Shanaka welcomes him with back-to-back sixes! Shanaka is now 48 off 17 balls and races to a 19-ball fifty, the fastest in men's T20Is for Sri Lanka. Kusal Mendis slams a boundary to finish the over.

After 18 overs, Sri Lanka are 199/3.

Jiten Ramanandi bowls the next over, and Shanaka's fireworks come to an end -- caught by Nadeem Khan for 50 off 20 balls. Kamindu Mendis walks in as the new batter, but a huge mix-up with Kusal leads to a run-out. Kusal departs for 61 off 45 balls.

Dunith Wellalage is the new batter at the crease.

Wellalage gets off the mark with a single. A wide comes next, and Kamindu Mendis leaves it. He then slams a boundary and sends the ball back to the bowler. The over finishes with a couple more runs.

Nine runs come off the over, and Sri Lanka lose two wickets, bringing the score to 208/5 after 19 overs.
