Okay. I'll in sometime.@Rabbit Hood you can post this time
0.1 Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, Full, almost yorker-length delivery outside offstump. Th batsman drives it hard and square of the wicket. Two more. (2)
0.2 Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot. (2)
0.3 Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective. (4)
0.4 Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two. (2)
0.5 Chris Cairns to Imran Nazir, Someone should really tell him what that bat is for. Rapped dead in front, the umpire has no hesitation.

19.1 Charith Jayaweera to Arul Suppiah, Perfect yorker on the leg stump. (0)
19.2 Charith Jayaweera to Arul Suppiah, Sloppy fielding, the batsmen were content with one but end up getting two. (2)
19.3 Charith Jayaweera to Arul Suppiah, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single. (1)
19.4 Charith Jayaweera to Wes Durston, Clipped off the legs, the batsmen get two. (2)
19.5 Charith Jayaweera to Wes Durston, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only two. (2)
19.6 Charith Jayaweera to Wes Durston, Short and pulled away for a single (1)

Just 2 runs shy, yet again! This is the second consecutive time this has happened to Somerset, they fall just 2 runs shy of the win. And they have no one to blame but their luck, I suppose. They fall short despite Wes Durston's beastly 12-ball 30 at the end of the innings.
