SL have exacted crushing revenge for 2003, and symbolically it is sealed off the bowling of the hero of that upset - Collins Obuya. Flighted outside off, Tharanga swung with freedom over the covers and easily got it to go all the way.

full-pitched on the pads, Tharanga tries to swipe across the line, but misses. Huge appeal, turned down and not reviewed.

now he gets the single, worked to the off side and it is over to Tharanga to end the game.

on Sanga's pads, he dinks it along to square leg but can't get the single.

another hat-trick. This time of fours. Tharanga jumps out to a wide of off stump delivery and lofts it cleanly over the infield. The man running back from covers put in the slide and ended up in a mess along the ropes.

lands this one, and in the right area, Sanga stays back and looks to force through the leg side

well, I can see why he's stopped bowling. A nonsense full toss, that's a lolly-pop and a dolly rolled in one, with chocolate sauce dripping from it, Sanga smacks it through midwicket.

slips the first one down the leg side.

ooh, huge appeal for caught behind turned down, and they decide not to review. Short of a length outside off, he goes for the cut and misses. They went up very confidently, but decided not to review it.
