    31.4 a long and loud appeal for one which dips low and Gilchrist plays across the line. It hit him in front of middle, having come in from off, and would have gone on to hit the stumps 139/3

    5.1 edged and taken! Bracken strikes, pitching on a full length outside off stump and sucking Tharanga into a very loose drive from the crease, the late swing does the trick and Gilchrist takes the easiest of catches 18/2

    4.6 and thats the end of that! Lee gets his man, pushing tamely at one on a much better length and the inside-edge nips back and rattles off stump 18/1

    19.3 no arguments about that one, a great delivery from Bracken that traps Sangakkara plumb in front of middle, the ball pitching back in and the batsman going to defend on the back foot 74/4

    29.1 Lee sees that he's backing away and follows him outside leg, the ball dug out to the legs. A mix-up results as Ponting slides in at mid-on and crashes down the stumps with the ball still in his hand 114/9

    27.3 on off, driven off the inside edge out to mid-on and there's a call for a run-out at the non-striker's end. Malinga loses his bat as the ball comes in from Symonds, but has he made his ground? Tricky one, although he's in the air as the ball hits the stumps. And he's out. 105/8

    31.3 but he gets him this time, his best ODI figures and there's a five-for as the batsman goes to pull again over midwicket, but picks out the fielder instead 125/10
