10.2 Swann to Sangakkara, OUT, tossed up outside off again, edged and caught behind! A thin nick and England have two huge breakthroughs in a couple of balls. It was nicely floated up, Sangakkara pressed forward outside off and got a thin edge through to Bairstow. The batsman looked pretty unhappy but the umpire's finger went up quickly KC Sangakkara c †Bairstow b Swann 13 (22m 12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 108.33
15.4 Broad to Mathews, OUT, back of a length and dragged it on another double strike bringing England back into the innings again. Again the pull stroke was late and this is a bottom edge onto leg stump, another well-set man goes AD Mathews b Broad 28 (24m 19b 3x4 1x6) SR: 147.36 So another hat-trick ball in the innings...
18.1 Broad to Perera, SIX, oh that is huge, slapped from outside off, on a length just outside off and picked up brilliantly, clubbed over the fielder, not a great delivery though, in the slot
2.6 Malinga to Hales, OUT, yorker, smashes Hales on the pad and gone! Three in the over for Malinga! It was full, fierce and practically growling as it reached Hales, who was almost knocked off his feet - Hawk Eye suggests it would have missed leg stump but there are no reprieves in this format and England are tumbling like nine pins AD Hales lbw b Malinga 3 (15m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 60.00
6.5 BAW Mendis to Patel, FOUR, full toss and Patel doesn't miss out, crunching the ball over cover for his third boundary in the over! That brings up the fifty too
18.5 Malinga to Patel, OUT, steps to leg and at last Patel misses and off stump is out of the ground. A rapid full toss, missed completely and Malinga has five wickets, what a performance SR Patel b Malinga 67 (65m 48b 8x4 2x6) SR: 139.58
