Niroshan Dickwella was the third man to get dismissed for nought when Khan had him lbw off another sharp incoming delivery. Milinda Siriwardana capped Sri Lanka's top order batting woes in the series when he played another lose the drive to get caught at covers.

Ali then reduced Sri Lanka to 49/6 when Lahiru Thirimanne (19) was caught behind and Seekkuge Prasanna was run out.
