Awesome work by Kaushal Silva


38.6
Herath to Younis Khan, OUT, what a catch, but is that out? The umpire's gone to the third umpire for this. That was full, outside off, and Younis pushed forward to defend and he played that down into his boot. It went straight up off his boot and Silva dived forward from silly point, caught it one-handed, and flung it immediately to the keeper. Given! Amazing work from the silly point fielder, but the catch will go down as Dickwella's, I think
Younis Khan c †Dickwella b Herath 13 (26b 1x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Welegedara to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, interesting shot, that. It was very full, wide outside off, and he seemed unsure about whether he wanted to play it and ended up slicing it with a horizontal bat, just inches above the ground, past gully

Sam: "For people who didn't see the catch, why did Silva have to flick the ball to the keeper instead of just catching it himself?" I have a feeling he thought he might lose his grip on the ball if he landed on his elbow. So he flicked it up and it went straight into Dickwella's right glove

Herath to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT, and Misbah's gone! Lovely delivery from Herath. Dipped on the batsman, turned away sharply, and took the outside edge through to Dickwella as Misbah poked forward to defend

Sumal: "You gotta love this skill of Misbah. I have see on no. of times that when he edges he doesn't look at the keeper. Bowlers and Fielders sometimes gain wickets through convincing appeals so why can't a batsman gain immunity through convincing body language?" Didn't work this time, sadly :)
