45.3 to Dilshan, thats yet another great catch from Younis Khan! this one, from round the stumps, pitches on leg stumps and turns across Dilshan who comes forward and defends, the turns just manages to take the outside edge of the bat and flies to the left of Younis Khan at first slip, whose reflexes have been very good today - moves quickly to his left and pouches a wonderful catch. 149/7

47.4 to Bandara, beauty!! same delivery as the previous ball, the difference is this time around its a googly, Bandara comes forward to defend, there's a tiny gap between the bat and pad, that gap is enough for the ball to squeeze through and crash into the stumps. That was spin bowling at its best! 162/8

54.4 to Kamran Akmal, all over! tossed up and turning in, Akmal goes for the sweep and gets it on the middle, ball goes straight to Tharanga at short leg who takes invasive action and in the process the ball gets stuck between his hand and the shoulder, that was a painful blow but Tharanga nicely held on to the ball. 176/10

14.2 to Jayasuriya, got'm! another bouncer, angled in from outside the off stump, Jayasuriya falls for it this time, goes for the pull, a nothing shot in the end, ball clips the edge and goes straight to Akmal behind the stumps, Asif with the all important breakthrough. 53/1

30.6 to Younis Khan, Murali strikes again! another classic off-spinner's dismissal! tossed up and turning in, Younis Khan is foxed by the flight and the turn, goes back to cut but fails to connect and the ball crashes into the furniture, that was too close to cut and Khan pays dearly for the poor choice of shot 71/2
