- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 the first breakthrough of the morning and Kulasekara strikes first, lovely away swing and gets the edge through to Sangakkara. 6/143.4 Malinga gets another wicket, this time of the in-form Barath. They are losing wickets in the batting powerplay. Barath too goes the similar way to Sarwan, hits it down the ground to long on and Kapugedera once again takes the catch. 207/412.4 a chance for run out and third umpire is called into action for the first time today. Barath pushes to the onside, Bravo is half way down, stops in his tracks and he then turns and looks to get back into the crease, Kapugedera fields the ball and throws to Murali, who gets rid of the bails. There was no run there. 42/243.2 as expected a wicket goes down, hits it over mid-on, goes high in the air and Kapugedera judges it well and takes the catch. A good knock from Sarwan comes to an end. 207/345.3 bowled ! and wicket explodes, Pollard goes for a single digit figure. Slow in-swinger and Pollard does not pick it up, the ball knocks the leg stump, he played all over it. 215/5Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL245/5 (50 Overs, RR: 4.9)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Chris Gayle, 3.2 ov), 2-42 (Darren Bravo, 12.4 ov), 3-207 (Ramnaresh Sarwan, 43.2 ov), 4-207 (Adrian Barath, 43.4 ov), 5-215 (Kieron Pollard, 45.3 ov)
