Here is how Sri Lanka took the key wicket of Paul Stirling. The Ireland opener caught in the deep by Bhanuka Rajapaksa for 34.
Ire 100-4published at 15 overs
Dockrell 11, Tector 40
Four singles from the rest of the over brings up the Ireland 100.
Five overs to go. They need to step on the accelerator here if they are to get up to a decent score.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThat's a brilliant shot from Tector, pretty safe as well as outside off stump that ball was never going to hit the stumps. You just have to back yourself, play with confidence and keep still.
Ire 96-4published at 14.1 overs
That's a lovely shot from as he plays a reverse sweep fine around the corner for four.
Ire 85-4published at 13.1 overs
That will help! It is far too short from Hasaranga de Silva and Harry Tector smashes the ball over mid-wicket for six!

Former Australia spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialToo many singles for Ireland at this stage. We are getting to the point where they will have to take risks, they will be scratching around for a decent total.
Ireland 79-4published at 13 overs
Sri Lanka turning the screw here as Ireland struggle for boundaries.
Just the five singles from that over from Maheesh Theekshana. The current run rate is just a touch over six an over.
Ire 71-4published at 11.3 overs
That's a good shot from Harry Tector as he advances down the track and lofts the ball back over Chamika Karunaratne's head for four.
Ireland needed that.
Ire 66-4published at 11 overs
That's brilliant fielding from Wanindu Hasaranga. It looks four all the way as Harry Tector pulls through mid-wicket but Hasaranga, on the run, takes the ball one-handed to prevent the boundary.
Superb stuff.

George Dockrell is the new batter. In case you missed it earlier Dockrell has been identified as possibility having Covid-19 but is still able to play in line with tournament and current government protocols.

BBC Test Match SpecialIt will be interesting to see how close Dockrell gets to his partner here.
WICKETpublished at 10 overs
Campher c Asalanka b Karunaratne 2 (Ire 70-4)
Ireland in all sorts of trouble now.
New batter Curtis Campher, who hit a superb match-winning 72 not out against Scotland last week, lasts just four balls as he cuts straight to Charith Asalanka at point.

Here is the second wicket to fall as Lorcan Tucker is bowled around his legs by Maheesh Theekshana.

Xavier Doherty
Former Australia spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThat is a fantastic catch, and clever piece of bowling. He threw it wide, Stirling had to reach and although he timed it well, not well enough.
We've seen some good catches already this week.
WICKETpublished at 8.4 overs
Stirling c Rajapaksa b Dhananjaya 34 (Ire 55-3)
Sri Lanka don't have to regret that dropped catch for long. Paul Stirling looks to hammer a wide delivery from Dhananjaya de Silva through deep extra cover, but Bhanuka Rajapaksa sprints round from long-off to take a brilliant catch.
A huge wicket.

Former Australia spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialNot good cricket, Stirling took on the long boundary into a very stiff breeze and he had given up on that - he thought he was on his way. He didn't even get a hand on it - you expect to see those taken.
Stirling dropped on 28published at 7.3 overs
How big a moment could this be? Paul Stirling sends a mistimed drive- skyward but Lahiru Kumara coming in from long-on spills the catch.
Ireland 46-2published at 7 overs
Wanindu Hasaranga, leading wicket-taker at the last T20 World Cup, bowls the first over outside the powerplay. And it is a good one too, just the six runs off it.
Sri Lanka on top at the moment, though Paul Stirling is looking in good touch.

End of twitter postCricket Ireland's statement goes on to say of Dockrell, playing today: "....Dockrell’s symptoms are very mild, however, team medical staff will manage his movements and interactions in line with tournament and current government protocols.
"A positive COVID test does not impede Dockrell’s ability to play or train, but to keep the rest of the squad as safe as possible, he will travel separately to the squad on match and training days."
