Siddique to Lee Kangmin, 1 run

That is the win for Japan! By ten runs which is a finer margin that it looked like being. Plenty to ponder for both teams going into the Grand Final. Do join us again, the final will start at 13:15 Japan time.

Siddique to Soochan Park, 1 run

Hard for Korea now! An edge flies to third man and that is almost it

Siddique to Lee Kangmin, 1 run

Into midwicket and now it is a big ask. Two sixes needed to draw the match!

Siddique to Lee Kangmin, FOUR runs

Ouch, after such good work the ball before Yamashita drops another simple chance and it runs away for four!

19.2

Siddique to Lee Kangmin, 2 runs

Too short and clubbed, but that is a great pick up and return in the deep from Yamashita

19.1
Siddique to Lee Kangmin, no run

That is a nice start. Awkward length and beats the shot.

Matsumura to Soochan Park, FOUR runs

A ridiculous one handed strike over midwicket for four. Some power in these Korean guys.

Matsumura to Lee Kangmin, 1 run

Down the track and hit hard to long on, but Taniyama gathers and returns brilliantly.

Matsumura to Lee Kangmin, SIX runs

Well that makes up for the leave! Smashed over cow corner and into the bleachers! Defiance still from Korea, they are not out of this yet.

18.2
Matsumura to Lee Kangmin, no run

An interesting time to leave a full one outside off stump...

18.1
Matsumura to Lee Kangmin, no run

Yorker length again from Matsumura, he is the best exponent of those in the side at present.
