Sri Lanka 25/0   TM Dilshan 11* (9b 2x4)   Sohail Tanvir 1.2-0-22-0

3.4

Mohammad Amir to Dilshan, FOUR, Dilshan you beauty, the Dilscoop, gets on his knee, Aaamer has bowled this fast, and scoops it from over his head, and clears Akmal easily

4.6

Umar Gul to Dilshan, FOUR, Dilshan is scooping them is they were a Sundae. This is the more orthodox scoop if I may say so, as he picks it on the full, and plays it over fine leg as opposed to over the keeper

Sri Lanka 59/0   TM Dilshan 25* (18b 5x4)   Umar Gul 1-0-12-0

5.3

Mohammad Amir to Dilshan, FOUR, Dilshan is in his mood now, stands tall and heaves a length ball over midwicket, clean timing and easy four

6.4

Shahid Afridi to Dilshan, FOUR, short and wide, cut away down the slope, Dilshan is on fire, and is not looking these gift horses in the mouth

Sri Lanka 71/0   TM Dilshan 35* (24b 7x4)   Shahid Afridi 0.4-0-6-0

7.4

Saeed Ajmal to Dilshan, FOUR, another superb shot, driven against the turn, powerfully that too, and between point and sweeper-cover

Sri Lanka 79/0   TM Dilshan 41* (28b 8x4)   Saeed Ajmal 0.4-0-6-0

12.2

Shahid Afridi to Sangakkara, FOUR, Sangakkara finds the boundary, the first in last 28 balls, sweeps a flighted delivery from the leg stump, and finds the gap perfectly

Sri Lanka 96/2   KC Sangakkara 8* (10b 1x4)   Shahid Afridi 3.2-0-17-2

13.4

Saeed Ajmal to Jayawardene, FOUR, beautiful shot, wouldn't be out of place in a Test, overpitched, makes some room, and lofts it over extra cover

Sri Lanka 109/2   DPMD Jayawardene 6* (7b 1x4)   Saeed Ajmal 1.4-0-13-0

Umar Gul to Silva, FOUR, and he gets a nice little length ball, he nicely leans into the shot, and drives it to between mid-off and extra cover

Sri Lanka 117/3   LPC Silva 4* (1b 1x4)   Umar Gul 1.4-0-19-0

15.3

Saeed Ajmal to Jayawardene, FOUR, short and quick, turning in, Jayawardene looks to cut, gets a thick edge that flies fine of short third man

Sri Lanka 126/3   DPMD Jayawardene 15* (13b 2x4)   Saeed Ajmal 2.3-0-20-1

19.2

Umar Gul to Mathews, FOUR, finally the boundary Sri Lanka desperately needed, the first in the last five overs, Mathews looks to make room, Gul follows him this time, but it's perfect length for him to scoop over midwicket

Sri Lanka 146/5   AD Mathews 8* (7b 1x4)   Umar Gul 3.2-0-30-1
