Chameera to Brad Evans, out Caught by (sub)Pawan Rathnayake!! Taken by the man at cover. That was a slower delivery, outside off, Brad Evans wanted to loft it over cover and managed to send it skywards. The ball was easily taken. Simple catch by the sub. The ball went high though but he had enough time to get under it, position himself and take it. Third wicket for Chameera. He has been the best of the lot.

Asitha Fernando to Brad Evans, FOUR, edged and gone. Gone to the fence. Very full, outside off, takes the edge and flies away fine past the hapless keeper

Chameera to Madande, out Bowled!! Fuller ball, tailed in, Madande walked across and misses the ball to be clean bowled. That was full, aimed for the sticks and slammed into the wickets as the slog was missed. He walked across a little too much in the end I feel.

Janith Liyanage to Brendan Taylor, out Caught by Chameera!! That's bad luck for the batter. The short fine was inside.

Chameera to Brian Bennett, out Bowled!! Bowled him! Change of ends and it works for Chameera. Fair to say, it's a wicket against the run of play. In-slanting good length ball on the stumps, Bennett is probably a bit early to close his bat-face as he looks to clip it away and misses it altogether. Beaten on the inside edge and the ball crashes into the stumps. Brian Bennett b Chameera 21(29) [4s-2]

Chameera to Brian Bennett, FOUR, shot! Hurled full by Chameera and Bennett offers a vertical blade to push it down the pitch. Yes just a push and the timing is spot-on. No chance for mid-on to stop that
