Toss: SLC XI
The SLC XI won an important toss, and with the pitch expected to wear badly by day 3, elected to bat first.
Kuruppu gave the home team a good start, before half centuries to Test hopefuls Mahanama and Atapattu put them on top.
Though offspinner Harper worked his way through the middle order to claim 4-78, an unbeaten 50* to legspinning allrounder Asoka de Silva allowed the SLC XI to declare at 267/8 early on Day 2.
