C de Silva to Samarawickrama, no run, big shout for lbw and up goes umpire Aleem Dar's finger. Samarawickrama stands in disbelief. Has a chat with Avishka Fernando and decides to review. Flighted ball, drifts in thuds into the front pad of the right-handed batter as he looks to blunt it into the leg-side. No inside edge, confirmed by UltraEdge. Over to ball-tracking and it's missing leg! Successful review and Dar has to overturn his decision. The ball didn't spin and went on with the arm to miss the sticks. Samarawickrama survives...
