WKarunaratne c Saha b Shami
Shami to Karunaratne, out Caught by Saha!! Angles in, in...in and then nips away a fraction to slice the outside edge. What a bewdy from Mohammed Shami. Excellent effort from Saha too; has kept his eyes on the ball, stayed low and grabbed it inches above the turf. The angle lured Karunaratne to have a go at it, hard hands and he feeds a healthy edge through to the keeper. TV umpire has been pressed into service, just to check if the catch was taken clean. Enough evidence for Bruce Oxenford to load it OUT on the big screen. Both openers gone. Karunaratne c Saha b Shami 4(15)
