It was in the fourth over that Lee wreaked havoc in the Kenyan batting order. He was gaining considerable bounce from a true batting surface and Kennedy Otieno (or Obuya) judged correctly that a ball outside the off-stump would lift too high to be of concern to him. Unfortunately for the batsman, as he lifted his bat out of harm's way, the ball struck the point of his left elbow just above his armguard and deflected onto the stumps. Otieno crumpled into a heap with the pain before being helped off to hospital for an X-ray that, thankfully, revealed no fracture.
The next ball was a beauty, of full length and straight. Brijal Patel could do no more than deflect it to Ricky Ponting at second slip. David Obuya was next in - and next out. Lee produced a fast yorker to complete the second hat-trick of this World Cup and the fourth in all with an absolute ripper that might have found a way through the defences of any batsman in the world. After his exploits at the end of New Zealand's innings, Lee had figures of eight wickets for three runs in 27 balls over the two matches.
