that will be the end of that, Ajmal gets an edge through to Sanga as he backs away and a has a heave to a back of a length ball

swing and a miss outside off this time

smack! Ajmal swings from just outside off and gets it down to the cow corner rope

that has been slammed straight back at the bowler, who gets a hand to it and regrets it as he winces in pain, the ball rolls down the ground

slogged from outside off to wide long on

Chandimal runs in from fine leg but cannot get to the ball even as he falls forward, another top edge, off a hook this time

full toss nudged to deep square

going for the yorker, not quite there, played out to the off side

deep midwicket almost overran the ball as he came in from the rope but then stopped and took the ball as it came down, Gul had tried to push at the slower one but hit it high in the air

pushed to cover

down the track and drags it to deep midwicket

moves across and turns it through square leg

pushes forward to one outside off and defends

full ball nudged to midwicket

bowled this time, backing away to a flat and shortish one, trying to dab it to third man, missing and losing his bails

a clean strike for once, down the track, to the pitch, and a crisp blow over the straight rope

another one falls short of third man, Gul swings at the pitched up ball, but the ball does not carry

Dilshan saves more runs at backward point, a slower one cut to his left, he gets down to it with a dive

short again, swivels for the pull, big top edge bounces and turns away from third man, who does well to take it as it almost flies bounces past him

this time he gets down and out of the way of another bouncer

pings the fast bowler on the helmet with the bouncer, he closed his eyes as he tried to duck, Perera takes the ball as it pops in the air

widish back of a length ball steered down to third man
