Re: England v Sri Lanka Super8, Game 9 @ Antigua
Can a team take the Power Play from 13 to 17 overs or must it be from 10 or 15 or 20 or ...
they took the 3rd PP at the 30th over...
30th over: 121-3
Sri Lanka take their last powerplay and it's Malinga into the attack. His first ball is, surprise surprise,a yorker, which KP just manages to dig out. A couple of no-balls from Malinga before Pietersen brings up his 14th one-day fifty with a flick to mid-wicket. England need him to turn this into a big, fleshy ton. Colly joins in the fun, digging out yet another Malinga yorker and the ball racing to the long-leg fence. Pietersen has a go at the penultimate ball of the over, but the shot is stopped, before he gets four with a wristy straight drive. Bit of breathing space for England.
