Malinga to DJ Hussey, no run, dropped by Mathews at short extra cover. it went dead straight at him, but he is standing close in, and that was hit quite hard. Full ball, punched off the middle. Straight in, straight out.

Perera to DJ Hussey, 1 run, Malinga's dropped him! Sri Lanka's first blemish in the field. Short and wide from Thisara, David got under it and slashed it in the air towards third man. The ball didn't go too high, but it was going straight to Malinga, who couldn't hold on as it sailed into his lap. Hussey had given up, he looked gutted as it went towards Malinga. And then ...

Malinga to DJ Hussey, FOUR, bumper now, DJ's milking Malinga with authority. How costly are those two drops going to prove? He clambers on top of the bounce here and slaps it down through midwicket. Superb batting.


35.2 Half volley
Malinga to DJ Hussey, 2 runs, over-pitches it this time. DJ opens up the off side and drives powerfully through the covers for two more.


35.1 Full toss
Malinga to DJ Hussey, FOUR, The yorkers haven't been working today, another low full toss from Malinga, and DJ bunts it straight between the bowler and mid-on. Mahela makes a big effort, but he wasn't straight enough to stop that.
