Mahela Jayawardene guides Sri Lanka home with his 19th ODI century  •  ICC

8.1 Mathews to Nawroz Mangal, OUT, and straightaway he does the damage as he delivers this military medium-paced delivery on off which is chipped straight to silly mid-off, who takes a simple catch Nawroz Mangal c Thirimanne b Mathews 10 (34m 30b 1x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
9.4 Lakmal to Javed Ahmadi, OUT, short delivery which cramps Ahmadi for space as he looks to pull this one away through midwicket, but really was in no position to execute the stroke as this ends up going off the top-edge high towards midwicket, who is able to safely get under it in the end. Ahmadi is disgusted with himself as he storms off the pitch Javed Ahmadi c Herath b Lakmal 24 (41m 23b 4x4 0x6) SR: 104.34
27.1 Herath to Asghar Stanikzai, OUT, advances down the track to try and hammer Herath over cow corner, but doesn't quite middle it so as he ends up holing out to the fielder in the deep. Ends a spirited knock from the Afghanistan batsman, who has played a wonderful hand for his team Asghar Stanikzai c Mendis b Herath 54 (80m 57b 5x4 1x6) SR: 94.73
0.1 Dawlat Zadran to Thirimanne, OUT, and what a way to get Afghanistan off and rocking as he delivers a full delivery on the pads which strikes Lahiru in line. The keeper and slips know he is gone right away as the umpire doesn't hesitate to raise the finger. This was definitely in line, and hitting the back pad HDRL Thirimanne lbw b Dawlat Zadran 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
1.2 Shapoor Zadran to Dilshan, OUT, Shapoor is the man in Dunedin. Gets across a back of a length delivery at good pace, and carry off the deck. Dilshan, facing his very first ball, ends up tickling an edge to the keeper after this bounced a little more on him than he expected. Both openers in the shed with just eight deliveries bowled in the innings. Afghanistan off to a fantastic start! TM Dilshan c †Afsar Zazai b Shapoor Zadran 0 (7m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
5.3 Hamid Hassan to Sangakkara, OUT, breaks through Sangakkara's defence as Hamid Hassan has set the University Oval on fire! The Big Kahuna falls as he is beaten through the gate to this one swinging in from wide of off, with Hamid Hassan putting in a rather awkward cartwheel to finish off the celebrations KC Sangakkara b Hamid Hassan 7 (28m 13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 53.84
40.5 Shapoor Zadran to Jayawardene, 1 run, and he gets the deserved single down fine leg to bring up his 19th ODI century. Has been a world-class effort after his team was reduced to a paltry 51 for 4. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Mahela, take a bow! His fourth World Cup ton as well
