BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
1003513.50424000
12.1 to RT Ponting, Ponting gets across but doesn't play either forward or back, instead guiding the ball to Jayawardene at first slip, who had predicted his downfall before this match. 66/2
9.414744.86396130
3.6 to ML Hayden, extra pace from Malinga, straight and short, Hayden tangles himself up looking to bunt it from outside off through midwicket, doesn't get over it whatsoever and the ball scoops up to Farveez Maharoof. 16/1
43.2 to AC Gilchrist, Gilchrist is finally gone, trying to loft one over long-off and took a leading edge to the covers, Kapugedera holding on this time over his head, having dropped him last over. 206/5
47.4 to GB Hogg, bowled him this time, Hogg backing away yet again and the perfect yorker cleans him up, clattering into all three stumps - strike.. 232/7
49.4 to B Lee, cleaned up with another excellent yorker to finish the tail off well, Lee backing away, and Malinga firing in on leg stump. 236/10
1005315.30303111
37.4 to A Symonds, outside off, cuts hard at a wideish one, but under the ball and a woody-sounding click travels on to the keeper who takes a good tumbling catch low. 177/4
1005225.20314200
45.1 to JR Hopes, lifted from a short one outside off high and higher - the ball catching the toe end - and goes on over towards Jayasuriya who clings on, making no mistake. 217/6
48.1 to MEK Hussey, Hussey looks to hit across the line rather than straight and his would-be pull goes up instead to the covers where Jayawardene sets himself to take a straightforward catch. 232/8
1004714.70220000
36.2 to MJ Clarke, beautiful doosra and out comes Clarke, drawn forward, and off come the bails, Sangakkara quicker than a whippet. 171/3

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
8.304915.76307001
45.3 to KC Sangakkara, Lee finally gets a wicket which means he's taken a wicket in all international matches this summer. Sangakkara backs away to try to drive to mid-off and is bowled by a swinging yorker which clinks into leg. 173/10
822132.62392010
3.1 to ST Jayasuriya, he's thrown it away, Jayasuriya charges down the track and tries to smack Bracken over extra-cover, can only get a thick outside edge, though, and pops a simple catch to third man. The fielder there is alert and nabs one of the most important wickets. Needless shot after such a good start. But Bracken won't be complaining. 29/1
13.6 to LPC Silva, outside off and there's a contender for catch of the season, Silva lashes a full-blooded cover drive to Symonds who pulls off an audacious take, diving low and really stretching out his left hand to get under it. 76/4
40.5 to KMDN Kulasekara, outside off, pulled high over Symonds' head at midwicket, who runs round to take it, the ball coming up off the top edge, done by pace, and there's another duck. 160/8
1022932.90453010
4.2 to TM Dilshan, castled! 142kph from Johnson and that's a yorker length ball that swings in late, Dilshan goes for the expansive drive but is beaten all ends up, through the gate, door and kitchen onto the middle and off stump. That sound of ball hitting stumps (tling) isn't going to please Dilshan. The WACA is on fire.. 35/2
10.5 to DPMD Jayawardene, but he's gone now, just as he was getting set, the ball pushed across him making him play, hint of movement off the seam and with some late swing once he was committed to the shot, taking a step and thick-edging to second slip where Ponting makes no mistake. 71/3
44.6 to SL Malinga, and that's the one he's been seeking, gets it on target at last and Malinga is comprehensively bowled as he backs away and exposes his stumps. 173/9
912612.88331000
32.5 to CK Kapugedera, gone! Hopes breaks the stand as he sends in a short and straight one which the batsman hoicks off his nose over to midwicket where Hussey takes the catch. 129/5
1014124.10343010
39.1 to MF Maharoof, down on one knee and sweeps high to deep midwicket where Haddin takes a cool catch. 159/6
39.2 to WPUJC Vaas, cut not particularly well, high up in the air in fact and Gilchrist takes a few steps forward for an easy catch. 159/7
