The ramp shot. The scoop. We were expecting it Mr Dilshan. Length ball, pretty straight, and he is on a knee to clear short fine leg with ease
|
5.4 |
Mpofu to Dilshan,
FOUR,
half-volley on off, and he off-drives it between the bowler and mid-off. No-fuss shot
|
5.5 |
Mpofu to Dilshan,
1 run,
short of a length, on off, punched to cover-point, and Munaweera would have been run out despite the dive had Zimbabwe hit direct. They miss the stumps again

|
12.5 |
Mpofu to Sangakkara,
3 runs,

|
12.6 |
Mpofu to BMAJ Mendis,
FOUR,
full, on off, driven back at Mpofu, who gets a hand to it. The ball now travels much slower to long-on, but in the hurry to keep the batsmen down to one, both long-on and long-off misfield, and let it through for four. Vittori is the one who is done in by a wobble, and Utseya has overrun it. Gould is pretty amused as he signals four
