No run.

Just a bit too full and straight, flicked away through mid-wicket for a single.

Full again, at the stumps and this is pushed towards mid on.

Full and straight, just a hint of reverse on that occasion. Dimuth Karunaratne plays it to the right of the man at deep mid-wicket and picks up a couple of runs. With that, the Lankan skipper brings up 6000 Test runs, a massive achievement from him.

Switches to over the wicket now and slants across a full ball, Karunaratne looks to cover drive but gets it off the inner half of the blade towards mid on.

Length again, over middle and leg, this is nudged away towards mid-wicket.

This is bowled from around the wicket and on a good length around off, Karunaratne dabs it down towards cover-point.
