Sri Lanka innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
WU Tharanga	b Franklin	0	1	3	0	0	0.00
0.3 gets the inside edge onto the wicket, as he was looking for the cut through the off side 0/1
CK Kapugedera	c Franklin b Mason	12	18	12	1	1	100.00
3.4 caught at thirdman, uses his feet and mishits it high in the air to the right of thirdman, where Franklin runs, slides and takes a very good catch 26/3
DPMD Jayawardene*	c Patel b Franklin	9	13	7	1	0	128.57
2.5 Captain goes, it was fuller outside the off stump, looking to drive through the off side, mishits it straight to Patel at cover, could not get it in the air over the fielder 24/2
KC Sangakkara†	c †McGlashan b Adams	13	23	17	2	0	76.47
8.2 thats out! A good moving delivery slants past the left-hander, and Sangakkara drives loosely, getting a thin edge through to McGlashan, and Sri Lanka are now 55 for 5! 51/5
MS Atapattu	c Fulton b Franklin	5	11	8	0	0	62.50
6.6 gone! Short of a length delivery on the stumps, Atapattu goes on the backfoot and pulls it away, but can only find the man out in the deep! 44/4
TM Dilshan	run out (Fulton/†McGlashan)	3	15	10	0	0	30.00
10.3 Adams to Silva, run out! A fullish ball on middle and leg is tucked past square leg, the batsmen take one and decide on the second, but Fulton in the deep is quick and fires in the throw to McGlashan, and Silva is just too slow coming back, there really was no second run on offer, and indecision is the culprit 58/6
LPC Silva	c †McGlashan b Adams	12	23	19	0	0	63.15
14.1 gone! Shortish delivery outside off stump, Silva decides to go for the pull, doesnt time it well, and ends up with a bottom-edge straight to the 'keeper 71/8
CM Bandara	c Taylor b Gillespie	1	4	2	0	0	50.00
11.4 good catch! Banged in short and wide outside off stump, the width was there to go after the stroke, but all Bandara can do is hop up and cut that in the air to point, where Taylor times his jump to perfection and holds a good catch above his head 61/7
SL Malinga	b Patel	27	25	19	2	2	142.10
18.2 thats that! Tossed up on middle and leg, Malinga looks to slam that over the off side, misses, and the ball hits the top of leg stump! 115/10
CRD Fernando	c Adams b Astle	21	14	14	4	0	150.00
17.6 all over! Full toss on the stumps, Fernando heaves it on the leg side, it goes high over the infield, but lands smack in Adams's hands at the deep mid-wicket boundary 115/9
