Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) today clarified that Dilruwan Perera did not take dressing room help for a DRS review during the third day's play and the call was delayed due to confusion regarding availability of referral. Perera was adjudged LBW off Mohammed Shami by onfield umpire Nigel Llong in the last ball of the 57th over when he was struck on the backfoot by an in-dipper. Perera first looked at his partner Rangana Herath and started walking back towards the pavilion. But he suddenly opted to review after turning towards the dressing room.
