41.4 W Ryno to Chaminda
Murray, leaping like a tireless salmon returning to the spawning grounds, pocketed a glorious catch just inside the boundary rope.
42.2 W Whittingham to Hettiarachchi
Pitched up and pushed to cover. Hettiarachchi wanted a run but was sent back. Naidoo threw the ball in and Duminda did the rest. Hettiarachchi was well short.
42.4 W Whittingham to Hathurusingha
A quick ball from Whittingham has taken a big snick and just carried to Naidoo at second slip.
43.4 W Ryno to Lional
Duminda claims the catch. The umpire takes his time making the decision but finally the finger goes up. Ryno is jubilant.
46.2 W Whittingham to Jayakodi
Is that the split finger ball coming back? I think it is. Whittingham has taken just enough pace off the ball to squeeze it under Jayakodi's bat and leave the off stump swaying in the breeze.

48.4 W Whittingham to Ratnayake
The ball nipped back as he went for the pull and he gets a fine edge. Duminda and Whittingham appeal like one man and the umpire sends Ratnayake back to the changing rooms.

5.6 1 Shorey to Waterhouse
Waterhouse takes a quick single.
5.5 4 Shorey to Waterhouse
That's going down leg, and Waterhouse has just glanced it down wide of the keeper for four. He might want to consider standing back to Shorey.
5.4 W Shorey to Lewis
[COLOR="Red"]A quick delivery and Lewis is left looking back at his stumps. He's gone![/COLOR]

Bog standard defensive shot. A snore bore ball.
