- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19 now this is against the run of play! Tharanga looks to defend the ball and gets an inside edge that trickles back onto the stumps and dislodges the bails 92/28.2 and that's the wicket! Dilshan pays the price for aggression. He tries to cut a ball close to his body and gets a faint edge back to the keeper. Baugh makes no mistakes and takes the catch. Sanga will walk in now 54/140.1 and Benn has his man as Sanga plays all over it and is yorked. The leg bail falls and now Sri Lanka are in a spot of bother 205/438 and there is the mandatory wicket in the Powerplay! Jayawardene looks to pull it away and gets a top edge that flies high and is taken by Miller at short fine-leg 187/344.1 And Benn is spinning webs around the batsmen today as he turns one back in and beats the cut shot. It hits the off stump 227/642.1 fuller ball on the off stump. Samaraweera comes down the track and yorks himself as the ball evades the bat and hits the leg stump 216/545.4 good length ball outside the off stump. Perera is looking to loft it away and gets an outside edge back to the keeper. Baugh holds on 239/746.5 and there's is the wicket with a superb piece of fielding. Mathews pushes it to long-on and sets off. Herath can't beat the throw from long-on by Miller and is run-out 244/850 Mendis is run-out as he Mathews drives it back to the bowler and Mendis is backing up too far. Bravo collects the ball and whips the bails off 277/8Extras16 (lb 7, w 9)TOTAL277/9 (50 Overs, RR: 5.54)Did not bat: CRD FernandoFall of wickets: 1-54 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 8.2 ov), 2-92 (Upul Tharanga, 18.6 ov), 3-187 (Mahela Jayawardene, 37.6 ov), 4-205 (Kumar Sangakkara, 40.1 ov), 5-216 (Thilan Samaraweera, 42.1 ov), 6-227 (Chamara Kapugedera, 44.1 ov), 7-239 (Thisara Perera, 45.4 ov), 8-244 (Rangana Herath, 46.5 ov), 9-277 (Ajantha Mendis, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 and Gayle goes first ball as he looks to cut it and gets an inside edge that falls back onto the stumps. Superb start for Sri Lanka 0/12 and the outswing does the trick as he forces Barath to edge it and Sanga has to dive to his right and take the catch 0/231.2 fuller on the off stump and Bravo is beaten and it hits him on the knee roll and he has to go 155/524.3 and that's the wicket as he catches Sarwan right in front of the middle stump and it is a much needed wicket 125/325.2 good length ball outside the off stump. Chanderpaul is surprised by the bounce and gets an outside edge to first slip where Jayawardene takes the catch 128/439.1 now the slower ball and Bravo bites the bait. Bravo lofts it to long-on where Perera takes an easy catch 195/732 and that's the wicket again! Sammy looks to loft it away and does not get the timing right as Mendis at midwicket takes the catch easily 159/648.4 short ball on the off stump. Baugh looks to pull it away and gets a top edge to Samaraweera at short fine-leg 251/946.2 and there's the wicket. Finally Miller falls! He comes down the track to loft the ball away and gets an outside edge to short third-man. The match is firmly in Sri Lanka's grip now 236/849 and it's all over! Benn came down the track and looked to loft it away. He got a top edge that flies to Samaraweera at short third-man 251/10Extras15 (b 1, lb 4, w 10)TOTAL251 all out (49 Overs, RR: 5.12)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Chris Gayle, 0.1 ov), 2-0 (Adrian Barath, 1.6 ov), 3-125 (Ramnaresh Sarwan, 24.3 ov), 4-128 (Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 25.2 ov), 5-155 (Darren Bravo, 31.2 ov), 6-159 (Daren Sammy, 31.6 ov), 7-195 (Dwayne Bravo, 39.1 ov), 8-236 (Nikita Miller, 46.2 ov), 9-251 (Carlton Baugh, 48.4 ov), 10-251 (Sulieman Benn, 48.6 ov)
