Except, Lahiru Thirimanne (80) and Dinesh Chandimal (36), who formed a small partnership of 50 runs after the initial collapse, the remaining batting line up failed to impress.

Sri Lankan batsmen failed to score freely in the match.
Impressive Bumrah scripted his maiden five-wicket haul and ended the day on a high note with the figures of 5/27 in 10 overs.
Hardik Pandya,
Axar Patel and Kedar Jadhav picked up a single wicket each.
