    7.6 he's been given leg before, after a shout from Perera that went on and on and on, Ashraful swung and missed a full toss, but did that strike him outside leg? yes, it has, that is seriously poor from the umpire, at a crucial stage in the chase, against a batsman who's just hit three successive boundaries, the umpire has just caved into Thisara's long appeal 68/3
    0.6 he's gone first ball, walking across to a length ball on the stumps, misses the nudge to leg, and is caught in front, nothing wrong with the line of the delivery, height could have been an issue, he was struck high above the knee roll, and was also quite some way outside the crease 9/1
    2.6 Mathews strikes again, catches him on the crease with an incoming length delivery, and Jahurul plays on off an inside edge 27/2
    14.4 heaves a high full toss high and down into deep midwicket's hands 135/5
    9.5 he's picked out third man, full and wide, he's thrown bat at it, and sent it sailing to the man in the deep 85/4
    14.5 what a gift, Mahmudullah did well to paddle a low full toss past short fine, Malinga hauled it in, threw it back to the keeper, Mominul wanted the third, Mahmudullah responded, Mominul stopped, yes and no, both ended up mid-pitch in the end, Mominul started walking back right away, but replays showed batsmen hadn't crossed over, and Mahmudullah has to go 137/6
