- Both batsmen started off slow but began to gather pace after drinks. Apart from the debutant, Rajitha no bowler was looking to get wickets.
- Both Devon and Brathwaite batted on and put a 50-run stand.
- Rajitha was bowling tight line and lengths and adding pressure on the batsmen who were finding it hard to put bat on ball.

- Powell joined Devon. After playing a few overs rain stopped play.
- Play resumed after rain and despite creating several chances Sri Lanka were unable to get a wicket as Smith reached his fifty.
