	Sri Lanka 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	NT Paranavitana	c †McCullum b Martin	0	2	3	0	0	0.00
	0.3 and there it is! Much better delivery that, pitched up to lure Paranavitana forward and then just gently swings away from the left-hander who pushes at it and gets a nick to McCullum and goes for a duck 0/1
	TM Dilshan	b O'Brien	92	108	72	12	1	127.77
	27.1 and he's chopped it onto his stumps! Not a good ball and not a good shot, its short and a bit wide outside off stump but Dilshan flashes a leaden-footed cut and succeeds only in dragging the ball onto the base of off stump, what agony for him after a splendid innings 134/3
	KC Sangakkara*	c Flynn b Martin	8	12	9	2	0	88.88
	2.6 good grief, Sangakkara's chipped a gift on the pads straight into midwicket's lap! Not a good ball at all, a half-volley on the legs but Sangakkara clips it very hard and picks out Flynn, who has little time to react and does well to gobble that up in his midriff 16/2
