35.3 Done in the flight. Tharanga went down the track but couldn't get to the pitch of the ball and ended up slicing it towards long-off. Coventry rushed in from the deep and lunged forward to take a good catch 181/4

24.3 Utseya takes his second wicket. He floated it outside off and got it to straighten as well. Chandimal, who had cut a similar delivery for couple of runs earlier, went for the cut shot again. But this time the ball flew straight to backward point. Utseya wins this mini-battle. 134/2

29.3 now that's a celebration. Soft dismissal, Kapu doesn't quite get to the pitch of a length ball and chips an easy return catch to Masakadza, who throws the ball in the air, and then lifts his shirt to show his vest with "just married" inscribed on it 155/3

39.4 from Cremer, Samaraweera is run out and he storms off Oh what a dreary mess. It was pushed past non-striker and the straight midwicket fielder moves to his left to cut it off and fumbles. Samaraweera thinks there is a single there and rushes down the track. Thirimanne turns, sees Samaraweera run in but stays put at his end. Both end up together. And the throw goes to Taibu. Gone! 199/6

37.5 It was a pretty short delivery actually if not a long hop. Mendis opened his stance and went for the pull but got more elevation than distance. Taylor moved in from deep midwicket to collect that 192/5

44.5 Now Price and Mpofu do some stylish celebrations! It was a full delivery which has been square driven straight to point! Even as Mpofu cradles an imaginary baby, Taibu, who has just had a second child, envelops him with a hug. And Price joins in and he and Mpofu have a little dance - tapping each others' foot. 219/8

44.2 Another celebration .. this time like Brazilian footballer Bebeto ... It was the full delivery, almost a yorker, which has taken out the middle stump. The batsman was looking for the big hit. Mpofu does a movement like Bebeto - as if he is cradling a child 218/7

47.5 from Price, Taibu you beauty! It was nudged to say squarish short leg ... Fernando stepped down the track for a single and was sent back. He hadn't gone down too long but Taibu was very quick. Very alert. He dashed off, picked the ball, had already removed his right glove, and under-armed a direct hit! 236/10
