Ricky Ponting's heartfelt note for Shane Warne

“Hard to put this into words. I first met him when I was 15 at the Academy. He gave me my nickname. We were teammates for more than a decade, riding all the highs and lows together. Through it all, he was someone you could always count on, someone who loved his family, someone who would be there for you when you needed him and always put his mates first."

The greatest bowler I ever played with or against. RIP King. My thoughts are with Keith, Bridgette, Jason, Brooke, Jackson and Summer.”

Shreyas Iyer, who came into the team alongside Hanuma Vihari in place of experienced Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, scored 27 before being trapped lbw off Dhananjaya de Silva's off-spin. But Pant was unfazed at other end. The dasher even hammered Embuldeniya for two sixes and two fours in a 22-run over. Typical Pant!

You also have to give credit to Embuldeniya, who's the only specialist spinner in Sri Lanka eleven. He first trapped Mayank and then castled Kohli during his long spells.
