nae nae.. Mahela innawa.. he will play a captain innings..

But he's being too cautious and scoring slowly. Hopefully batmen on the other end won't fail too often.

Vettori to DPMD Jayawardene, OUT, gone! Would you believe, the outside leg stump line works! Tossed up, holding the ball in the air for a fraction, it dips outside leg stump and Jayawardene nibbles at it, there's some deviation and Sinclair snaffles the catch, they appeal and umpire Taufel raises the finger! Jayawardene isn't happy as he walks off, shaking his head, and rightfully so. The replays clearly showed it brushed the pads.


DPMD Jayawardene c Sinclair b Vettori 31 (121b 2x4 0x6) SR: 25.61
