    Fernando to Bopara
    bowled him! Neck and crop! What a brilliant delivery; just back of a length, the perfect wicket-to-wicket delivery to clip the top of off. Great finish, well done Sri Lanka, well done Fernando. Great stuff!
    49.5
    1
    Fernando to Mahmood
    drives that one into his foot, it drops forward and they run the single
    49.4
    1
    Fernando to Bopara
    outside off and that's driven out to the sweeper on the off side and Mahmood's now on strike
    49.3
    2
    Fernando to Bopara
    drives that through cover and they press back to get the second - and that's his fifty from 51 balls
    49.2
    4
    Fernando to Bopara
    so well played, so calm, Bopara helping that from off and merely presenting the face of the bat, a paddle, so delicate, and that runs away. Just uses the pace, and that runs over short fine leg and on its way
    49.1
    1
    Fernando to Mahmood
    on off and that's a quick single - and, crucially for England, Bopara will now be on strike
    48.6
    4
    Malinga to Bopara
    great clean strike of a cover drive - have to admire that one, just lacing that away. Malinga just flashes another of his beaming smiles
    48.5
    W
    Malinga to Nixon
    that must be the final blow, you'd expect. Big, big wicket that - Nixon went to smack that high over extra cover, but there just wasn't the room to bunt it that far, and that's a great effort from him
    48.4
    1
    Malinga to Bopara
    outside off and that's another calm delivery from Malinga, very good indeed, that on the spot and just worked forward
    48.3
    0
    Malinga to Bopara
    great delivery, Bopara moving outside leg to give himself room to plant that through the off side - that goes down the corridor and he was nowhere near it
    48.2
    1
    Malinga to Nixon
    takes that from outside off to drive it in front of midwicket
    48.1
    1
    Malinga to Bopara
    outside off, Bopara lays bat on that one, driving it to cover
    47.6
    4
    Murali to Nixon
    another reverse sweep and that goes fine - the fielder chases it down, just gets a hand on it, but merely helps it on its way
    47.5
    0
    Murali to Nixon
    47.4
    6
    Murali to Nixon
    big reverse sweep and that just clears the man on the cover boundary - finally nails that shot and that's pretty cool, you have to say
    47.3
    1
    Murali to Bopara
    outside edge flies in the air... but safe... directly behind the keeper. Ah, apparently it was off the pad
    47.2
    1
    Murali to Nixon
    connects with the reverse sweep but picks out the sweeper inside the boundary
    47.1
    1
    Murali to Bopara
    goes for a big aerial whoosh of a sweep off one knee, but can only tuck that one into the ground
    46.6
    1
    Malinga to Bopara
    outside off and Bopara drove that into his shin and there's a quick single
    46.5
    1
    Malinga to Nixon
    down the track again but can only pick out the man at midwicket
