2.5

Malinga to Warner, OUT, caught at short cover! The length ball seemed to grip on the pitch and come on to Warner slower than he expected. He was already well through his swat by the time he made contact. He still hit the ball off the middle though and it went quickly to Perera at short cover, splendid reflex catch

DA Warner c Perera b Malinga 6 (6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

4.6

Malinga to Forrest, OUT, edged and caught behind! The ball was ordinary, short and wide, there to be hit to the boundary. But Forrest tried to cut it with no foot movement and threw his bat out a long way away from his body. He got a huge and loud edge through to Sangakkara.

PJ Forrest c †Sangakkara b Malinga 2 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 22.22

24.6

 Thirimanne to MEK Hussey, OUT, caught behind! Thirimanne has struck for Sri Lanka, would you believe  it! Hussey stayed in his crease and poked at the ball angling across  him, it was a thick edge and Sangakkara did well to catch it standing up  to the stumps

30.6

 Malinga to Watson, OUT, bowled him! That's full and straight, a little bit of swing into the  right-hander. Watson tried to play across the line towards midwicket and  missed. The ball crashed into middle stump and flattened it. Sri Lanka  have made a tremendous breakthough

*Doherty is Australia's No. 10. Sri Lanka are two Australian wickets away from a berth in the finals, India the same margin away from a flight home.

Kulasekara to DJ Hussey, FOUR, that's a great shot! Hussey attacks Kulasekara, carting him to the extra cover boundary to reach his half-century. Superb innings, dragging Australia ahead
