    6.4 Allen's on a hat-trick all of a sudden, Sri Lanka in real strife! It was a drag down outside off, Perera went for the cut but couldn't control the stroke due to a bit of extra bounce, his bat swing went from down to up and the ball ballooned straight to point, he just couldn't find his timing today 48/3
    2.3 what a start for Oshane Thomas, his sixth wicket overall and he hasn't even completed four overs in this series! It was a slightly shorter length than the previous one, Fernando swung across the line as the ball skid through to crash into off stump 16/1
    6.3 slows it up and pushes it wide of off, clever bowling, Jayasuriya looks to take him on on the slog sweep but doesn't get all of it and it carries to deep midwicket who had to run in and take a nice tumbling catch 48/2
    11.2 this is timed nicely straight down the gullet of backward square leg. It's a full toss on the pads. Could have put it away almost anywhere on the legside. He flicks it in the air straight to the waiting Powell though, and it's curtains for Mendis. WI keep pegging them back. 81/4
    13.5 he's out. Mathews tried to run himself out earlier in the over, and this time he's managed it. He squirted this to short third man and set off down the track. Shanaka is not interested though, and Mathews has to scramble back into his crease. Bad luck for Mathews though, because Fabian Allen is the fielder, and unlike Cottrell he hits the stumps with his throw, and Mathews is a few centimetres out. 95/5

    16.1 Hasaranga can't make a difference with the bat today. This is a slower one from Cottrell, who's bowling from around the wicket. It's fullish, on the pads, and Hasaranga is through the shot too early as he tries to lift this over square leg for six. Gets under it too much though, and it hangs in the air for an age before Hetmyer gobbles it up at deep square leg. 109/6

    2.3 slower ball does it. I mean, all Mathews balls are slower balls. But this is exceptionally slow at 104kph. Simmons tries to swing this one high over the legside, almost with a slog sweep. This full-length ball arrives too late to meet his bat though, but keeps its appointment with middle and off stump. Mathews is pretty chuffed. 23/1
    7.2 top edge and gone! Kumara's pace has done the trick. This is a short ball, about chest high, flying over middle stump. King makes room and tries to club this down the ground I think but only gets a top edge to it. It goes straight up, and Malinga moves in from mid on to take it above his head. 69/2

    12.4 that made a cracking sound as it made contact with the bat but it's a cracking catch on the deep backward square leg fence! It was an innocuous short one on middle, Powell picked it up nicely, Jayasuriya had to take a few steps back as he took the catch - a brilliant effort by itself - after which he tumbled but kept his presence of mind to throw the ball up when he was about to make contact with the boundary skirting having rolled over, to take it again when he wasn't in contact, although still on the ground 103/3
