Dhananjaya de Silva 39(50)
39.5
Kuhnemann to Dhananjaya, out Caught by Webster!! Here's the mishit and DDS has thrown his wicket away for the second time in the Test. Lovely deception from Kuhnemann, slowed down the pace, threw the ball invitingly on off and it then dips onto the right-hander - DDS was committed to the lofted drive, he doesn't account for the spin and slices it off the outer half, Webster back-tracks at cover and holds onto a simple reverse cupped catch. Too many Sri Lankans getting a start and then tossing their wickets away in this Test. Dhananjaya c Webster b Kuhnemann 39(50) [4s-8]
