19.5 to RT Ponting, Jayawardene picks up a sharp chance at first slip, Ponting opening the face and running down to his opposing captain who snaps it up low, good catch. 88/2 36.4 to A Symonds, gone this time, Symonds flashes hard to extra cover where Kapugedera takes a great catch at head height, and it was travelling. 160/4 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 55 | 1 | 5.50 | 27 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | |
49.4 to JR Hopes, outside off, swing away, and the batsman comes out of his crease, but it's scooped to backward point where Dilshan does the honours. 253/6 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 66 | 2 | 6.60 | 28 | 9 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
12.5 to ML Hayden, Amerasinghe breaks through as Hayden, batting out of his crease, once more, comes down the track and is cramped up straight, mishitting on the up out to short midwicket. 65/1 41.4 to MEK Hussey, short ball, wide outside off and Hussey comes out of his crease, and cuts back into the hands of Dilshan at backward point. It was straight to him, but stroked hard so a good catch. 190/5 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 42 | 0 | 4.20 | 28 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
| 10 | 0 | 54 | 1 | 5.40 | 19 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
31.4 to AC Gilchrist, a long and loud appeal for one which dips low and Gilchrist plays across the line. It hit him in front of middle, having come in from off, and would have gone on to hit the stumps. 139/3 | ||||||||||

4.6 to ST Jayasuriya, and thats the end of that! Lee gets his man, pushing tamely at one on a much better length and the inside-edge nips back and rattles off stump. 18/1 | ||||||||||
| 8.3 | 0 | 47 | 5 | 5.52 | 31 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 0 | |
5.1 to WU Tharanga, edged and taken! Bracken strikes, pitching on a full length outside off stump and sucking Tharanga into a very loose drive from the crease, the late swing does the trick and Gilchrist takes the easiest of catches. 18/2 19.3 to KC Sangakkara, no arguments about that one, a great delivery from Bracken that traps Sangakkara plumb in front of middle, the ball pitching back in and the batsman going to defend on the back foot. 74/4 21.3 to CK Kapugedera, Hayden at first slip makes no mistake as the batsman goes for the booming drive away from the body as Bracken fires in another wicket-taking cutter. 84/6 23.5 to TM Dilshan, yet another cutter pays dividends, as Dilshan sends a leading edge out to long off where Lee sets himself and has a firm base for taking the catch. 93/7 31.3 to M Muralidaran, but he gets him this time, his best ODI figures and there's a five-for as the batsman goes to pull again over midwicket, but picks out the fielder instead. 125/10 | ||||||||||

11.3 to DPMD Jayawardene, down the wicket, rocks back and edges through a would-be booming drive to a short one outside off, the ball cutting away off the seam. 57/3 | ||||||||||

20.6 to LPC Silva, Hogg strikes in his first over, the ball grips on off, straightens and takes the feather as Silva tries to defend on the back foot, Gilchrist pouching the sliver. 81/5 | ||||||||||
