#1 Braveheart Dhammika Prasad
Dhammika Prasad received a painful blow on his left wrist facing only his third delivery from an Ishant Sharma bouncer. The ball reared up on him and he removed his eyes from the ball. His partner Kusal Perera was looking for a quick single, and so Prasad jogged to the other end, but threw his bat and helmet away immediately.
Already struggling with a stiff neck, the Sri Lanka No. 8 retired hurt.
He returned to bat when the Sri Lanka score was 156/8, continuing his innings across two sessions. He scored 27 off 23 balls, taking his team’s total to 201.
