27.4 to D Langford-Smith, and he's rapped on the back pad, trying to pull it, and that's utterly, completely plumb. 77/10 | ||||||||||
| Nuwan Kulasekara | 7 | 3 | 10 | 0 | 1.42 | 36 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

7.3 to JP Bray, slower ball, Bray gets a leading edge which loops into the off side and Arnold races in from cover and takes a good catch diving forward, inches from the ground. 28/1 7.5 to AC Botha, short of a length outside off, no foot movement and Sangakkara takes an oh-so-routine catch. Two balls, no runs ... the experiment of promoting Botha up the order might not be seen as a complete success .... 28/2 7.6 to EJG Morgan, the normally cynical office leap up as one at a quite brilliant one-handed catch from Sangakkara. Eion Morgan nicked the ball, Sangakkara was heading to leg, but readjusted and dived to his left, clutching the ball in the fingertips of his left hand. It was almost past him as he grabbed it. Amazing. 28/3 17.6 to WTS Porterfield, goddim. A frustrated sort of shot, skipping down the pitch and trying to flick him over midwicket. But he got a leading edge to Jayasuriya at mid-on who only had to jog back three or four metres to take a simple catch. 46/4 | ||||||||||
| Muthiah Muralidaran | 5 | 0 | 19 | 4 | 3.80 | 22 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
18.2 to NJ O'Brien, goddim! A beautiful delivery, albeit not very well played. On off stump, angling across the left hander and turning further away from his meek defensive poke, handing the keeper an easy catch just to his left. 48/5 18.4 to KED Carroll, gone! Oh dear. Carroll tried to sweep but lost his balance and the doosra from Murali crept beneath his bat to knock over leg stump. 48/6 20.1 to KJ O'Brien, another leading edge; another wicket. He tried to turn it to leg but the spin was too great...the ball flies to Jayasuriya at mid-on who takes a useful catch diving forward. 49/8 22.4 to WK McCallan, oh dear. He shoulders arms, attempting to pad it away and he's trapped absolutely plumb in front. Mark Benson, the umpire, raises his finger as quick as a cat...almost before Murali appealed, even. 54/9 | ||||||||||

3.2 to KC Sangakkara, outside off, driven on the up and that's taken in the covers, snapped up. That was travelling and that's a marvellous catch. 25/2 | ||||||||||
