Sri Lanka vs England, 4th ODI at Colombo, , Oct 10 2007 - Ball by Ball Commentary

and there it is! England win the series 3-1 as he just whips this leg-side delivery down to fine-leg. Pietersen runs through and jumps in the air in delight, pumping his fist. He's found form at last and has taken England through to not only an impressive win today, but an excellent series victory

and the scores are level as he flicks this one to midwicket

flicked through midwicket

a full toss, pushed through midwicket

Pietersen skips down the pitch and bunts it back to the bowler

solidly defended by Bopara in the end but a cracking ball with which to end the over, swinging into the right hander at the last moment

fast, but misdirected. Bopara pats it to leg

no slower-ball this time: that was Malinga at pace, reversing it back into Shah who was comprehensively beaten and his stumps flayed

very well bowled! A slower-ball yorker, right on the money but Shah's up to the task and blocks it out solidly

sliced over point this time and the ball drops like a shell in the outfield

Malinga fires down a slower ball which Shah guides to point

hammered back to Fernando who parries the ball onto the non-striker's stumps

and that could be four of them...no, a flourishing drive is saved by the extra-cover sweeper

a full toss which Shah bunts to deep point

an ugly cross-batted swipe at a half-volley. Not sure what Shah was trying to do there

better. Full and straight, Shah just comes forward patiently to defend

lovely inventive stroke, picking this from middle-and-off and forcing it through midwicket. The sweeper will collect

a tired bouncer, misdirected down the leg side

good idea - the slower ball - but Shah reads it and defends it

guided on the full (and on the walk) to point. A very Shah-y stroke
