0.1 Chanaka Welegedara to Imran Nazir, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs. (2)

0.3 Chanaka Welegedara to Imran Nazir, Swing and a miss. No run. (0)
0.4 Chanaka Welegedara to Imran Nazir, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad. (0)

3.1 Thisara Perera to Shakeel Ansar, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavilion! 6 runs, excellent batting! (6)
3.2 Thisara Perera to Shakeel Ansar, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)

6.2 Ajantha Mendis to Shahid Yousuf, 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)
6.3 Ajantha Mendis to Shahid Yousuf, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavilion... (4)

15.3 Clint McKay to Scott Styris, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there. (2)
15.4 Clint McKay to Scott Styris, One more to the total. (1)
15.5 Clint McKay to Andrew Symonds, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one. (1)
