Bennett goes back to hit it through covers but goes way too back and ends up smashing his leg stump instead of the ball 89/40.5 bowled 'im! A length ball that hurries towards the stumps. Marumani was forward to defend it but leaves the gap between the bat and the pad. The ball sneaks through that to hit the stumps 5/12.5 Theekshana strikes again! A carrom back on good length. The batter pushes at it but gets beaten as the ball turns away to hit the top of off 17/27.3 Full outside off. Taylor moves across and looks to paddle it fine. Gets a bottom edge onto the stumps. Taylor walks back for 14 off 16 - he isn't happy, hits his pads with the bat 53/314.3 taken at short third. Raza goes down the ground once again but gets a top edge this time as Hasaranga bowls this wider and slower.
