Malinga to Watson,
FOUR,
lazy elegance! Class from Watson as he gets forward and just scoops it over mid-on, at first it looked he was going to spoon it tamely to the fielder but he got a lot more elevation than that

Dilshan to Watson,
OUT,
Herath manages to hang on! Dilshan bowls round the wicket and flat, Watson is on his knee and slogs him, the ball travels quickly and flat and Herath runs to his right at deep midwicket, nearly over-runs the ball but manages to hang on on the dive, the ball could easily have bounced off his hands but he ensure he got his body behind it
