The two Fernando’s(Tharusha and Nuwanindu) also gave good support to Jayawickrama as they shared four wickets between them to make sure the Cambrian score didn’t develop into a substantial one.
Umpires decided to call off play at the end of the Cambrian innings due to bad light before the heavens eventually opened up. Play will start half an hour early tomorrow due to the time lost today.
