Having put Sri Lanka in to bat, Curran was hit for three boundaries by the Sri Lankan openers. Kamil Mishara hit two fours and a six before miscuing one to Dawson off Jamie Overton. The runs continued to flow with boundaries from Nissanka and Kusal Mendis. The former was also lucky to survive a Dawson delivery that brushed the stumps, but as the bails didn’t get dislodged, it raced away for four byes. Nissanka followed that up with a four and a six through the offside as the hosts raced to 50 for 1 in five overs.
