Was a loopy delivery and Shanaka drilled it back at the bowler

Graeme Cremer to Pathum Nissanka, out Caught by Tony Munyonga!! A top-edge on the reverse sweep - the fielder at backward point circles around it, it's Tony Munyonga - he kept his eyes all around even as he circled around and completes a fine catch. Cremer's extra bounce doing the trick, Nissanka didn't get himself into a great position on the reverse sweep, but it still needed something special from Munyonga. He took a blinder against Australia, he now has taken a great grab to send the in-form Pathum Nissanka packing. They've taken drinks at the fall of the wicket.
