Looks like the story is off the field.

There was a two hour delay. That means the game should have been forfeited. Cricket is terrible at making up rules as it goes along. The umpires acted on seeing footage of wrongdoing, so there is film evidence, having previously expressed concerns. Cricinfo says this involved a substance being applied to the ball.
SL issued a statement saying they came out under protest to preserve the spirit of the game. Shame it was two hours late! SL will contest the allegation.
SL copped a similar charge last year which they didn't contest.
