Mokey

Bugger, lol. Great first two balls though.

Fergusson gets one in his first over. SL 53-4

It's picked up since I had a grumble. Great bowling from Ferguson with 147km/h

Siam

How rich is that dwarfy Sri lankan fan?

They said he's the quickest in the world in terms of average speed - 145km/h. Pretty impressive.

What a difference a couple of days makes - for Matt Henry anyway. So far, so good.

Matthews and the other Perera still danger men to be rid of.

Nicholls not available, so Munro is opening. He'll doubtless make runs, unless we need him to!

No Quarter

Colin joins the party with a wicket as well. This is getting ugly for Sri Lanka.

Chris B.

@No-Quarter Gets Mathews - the big wicket!

Things going pretty much according to (my) script!

Mokey

Much better bowling. Restricting runs, taking wickets. All the pressure on the Lankans now.

Hopefully we can get them for under 150 because then we can through caution to the wind in chasing.

KiwiPie

Just need that other Perera now. Didn't sort him out in the summer ....

Mokey

Lachie bowling beautifully. Lankans imploding at 60/6.

No Quarter

Captain Kane shades of Baz circa CWC15 with that fielding effort. Awesome.

No Quarter

Puts one into the stands. He's dangerous as hell.

Mokey

GAH. And suddenly they are 80/6.

booboo

This is where I go to bed as I'm not watching Perera tear us apart again.

Donsteppa

A terrible pie from Neesham followed by a gimmie on the free hit to Perera...

KiwiPie

Hmm a free hit let's put it on a length ...

Newham is bowling some awful stuff. Pin the leg stump yorker to Perera he's just backing away and swinging

Donsteppa

Excellent - Santner gets the breakthrough with Perera holing out.

No Quarter

Thank f*ck for that.

Thata boy Santner.
