    46.2
    W
    Starc to Senanayake
    fantastic yorker on middle which is spooned straight up to mid-off to end the game. There is a bit of confusion as to whether Chandimal would re-emerge, but it looks like the game is officially over
    46.1
    4
    Starc to Senanayake
    continues from round the wicket as he looks to hone in on off, but the slice away from Sachin through third man means he has to have a boundary added to his runs tally
    45.6
    0
    Faulkner to Malinga
    delivers another back-of-the-hand slower delivery which has Malinga well early into his shot as he looked to pull this away
    45.5
    0
    Faulkner to Malinga
    looks to have a go down the ground as he ends up inside-edging this failed bludgeon onto his shoes
    45.4
    1
    Faulkner to Senanayake
    forces away a stroke down to long on to get off the strike
    45.3
    0
    Faulkner to Senanayake
    slower delivery on and about leg which deceives Sachi
    45.2
    W
    Faulkner to Upul Tharanga
    Faulkner strikes right away for his captain as Tharanga, Sri Lanka's last recognised batsman, has to go after carting this back of a length straight to the man stationed at cow corner, who is able to get under it quite comfortably
    45.1
    1
    Faulkner to Senanayake
    glides away a single through backward point to get off the strike
    44.6
    1
    Starc to Senanayake
    clips away this length delivery honing on the pads over towards deep midiwcket
    44.5
    0
    Starc to Senanayake
    continues from round the wicket as Sachi is well late on this fuller delivery which threatens to castle his off stump as it rushes past
    44.4
    0
    Starc to Senanayake
    delivers a sharp bouncer which Sachi has no clue about as it flies over his head
    44.3
    W
    Starc to Prasanna
    sends one crashing into the stumps of Prasanna, who just played all around this full yorker on middle which just tailed away a touch. Too good for the tail-ender as he walks off to the pavilion
    44.2
    0
    Starc to Prasanna
    backs away, gets down on one knee, but fails to clear the covers with this attempted scythe
    44.1
    1
    Starc to Upul Tharanga
    angles in a full delivery on the pads which is flicked away through square-leg
    43.6
    0
    Watson to Prasanna
    comes down the track before swatting this away towards the bowler in his follow through
    43.5
    4
    Watson to Prasanna
    looks for the cart over midwicket before offering up a thick outside edge which falls safe through third man for what seems like the umpteenth time today
    43.4
    2
    Watson to Prasanna
    clubs away this length delivery slanting down leg as the acres of space means they are able to return for the second to bring up the Sri Lankan 300
    43.3
    0
    Watson to Prasanna
    another shorter one which is signalled one for the over as the batsman fails to make a connection
    43.2
    0
    Watson to Prasanna
    looks to send this shorter one out of the stadium, but is late on it
    43.1
    2
    Watson to Prasanna
    short delivery which is attacked by the batsman as the eventual top-edge sends this over to Doherty at third man, who puts in a fine dive before firing in a throw back towards the middle
