Batting first, Sri Lanka openers posted a massive 125-run stand. Lanka were 178 for 4 in 32nd over, when rain interrupted the play.

Ground staff rushed to cover the pitch after directions from the umpires. David Warner joined them in pulling the covers.

Posting the video on Instagram, ICC lauded the gesture of the Australian batter.
