short one, straight and there's a call to the third umpire for a run-out for Collingwood's bullet from backward point and that completes the win
Sri Lanka vs England, 2nd ODI at Dambulla, Oct 04 2007 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's England's first one-day win in Sri Lanka since 1982. As Andrew Miller points out, England have won three Ashes series since that - and Gnasher was only just born. There'll be some celebrations tonight: England will be delighted with Shah's innings in particular and then a polished bowling effort from the get-go, allied to some excellent fielding. So the sides return on Sunday for the third match with the series level. Join us then - well, not me (Jenny Thompson), but the rest of the team today who have been Will Luke, Martin Williamson, Andrew Miller with Andrew 'Gnasher' McGlashan on bulletinal drums. Thanks for following us today. It's been emotional.

Clean shot, good eye
dragged only slightly short but well hooked through midwicket

"Can you score the runs, Fernando?" beams Martin very Stuart-broadly. He's so proud of himself
outside off, cut away off the back foot
