Malinga to Munro, out Caught by Sandakan! There's a catch! Malinga's slower one has deceive Munro, and lured him into a would-be drive that he ends up slicing is without any shape, away from his body, straight to Sandakan at backward point. Not a no-ball, it's carried to Sandakan, it might have been in contact with the turf, but there is no conclusive evidence to overturn the soft signal which is OUT. Munro departs and Sri Lanka get on the wickets column.

42.2
Perera to Guptill, out Caught by Sandakan!! Nothing meek about the innings, but it ends to something really soft. A back of a length sticker into the pitch, and Guptill looks to tuck it through the on-side, getting into it a little too soon. So, a leading-edge, spooning right down to point.

48.5 NLTC Perera to Neesham, SIX runs, good god, someone give Thisara some brandy or something to recover too full again and Neesham can't put a foot wrong. That's gone on the roof. I miss Tony Greig on air, who would have done justice to a ball going on the roof and a fifth six off five legal balls in the over. Amazing. Incredible
48.5 NLTC Perera to Neesham, (no ball) 2 runs, full toss and no-ball for being above waist height There's a free hit coming up, and New Zealand have 27 runs off the first four balls! That was outside off, and Neesham swung hard at it, but it went only to mid-off
48.4 NLTC Perera to Neesham, SIX runs, ho ho ho, who says Christmas is over Thisara is losing the plot. Full toss outside off that time and Neesham clobbers it over cow corner once again.
48.3 NLTC Perera to Neesham, SIX runs, Neesham's on fire Thisara goes straighter, but still doesn't get the line right. Too full, and Neesham clears his leg to swat it back over the bowler's head and into the sight-screen
48.2 NLTC Perera to Neesham, SIX runs, similar ball, same result he's losing his length and line against the left-hander, been so good to the right-handers. In the slot again and Neesham sends it exactly over the same spot at cow corner for another six
48.1 NLTC Perera to Neesham, SIX runs, in the slot and bang a rare bad ball by Thisara, perfectly in Neesham's arc. He picks it up from off and sends it flat over cow corner
