0.1 V Yo Mahesh to S.Jayasuriya, 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)
0.2 V Yo Mahesh to S.Jayasuriya, For all the Americans out there, that's the cricketing equivalent of a Home-Run. Nice stuff. Six. (6)
