The Gill over has proved to be the turning point. Singles from the first three balls before Wellalage reverse sweeps Sundar over point for a four.
He slog sweeps the fifth ball to deep midwicket for one and Liyanage keeps out the last ball.
Axar back into the attack. He strikes second ball with the wicket of Liyanage, who comes down the track but is beaten by the turn as the ball takes the outside edge and is caught by Rohit at slip.
Liyanage walks back after a good hand of 20 from 26 balls after he put on 41 runs for the sixth wicket with Wellalage.
Interestingly, there is no edge and the sound came from the bat hitting the ground. But Liyanage himself decided to walk even though the umpire had not raised his finger.
The Sri Lankan dugout can't believe that Liyanage decided to walk even though the ball didn't come off the edge.
Siraj bowls a maiden over to new batter Wanindu Hasaranga as Sri Lanka again once struggle after that wicket.
