18.4
Malinga to Pat Cummins, 1 run, low dipping full toss, Cummins somehow manages to bring his bat down in the nick of time. The ball rolls to the left of Malinga, who sprints across and fires a throw at the bowler's end, he misses and Cummins makes it in
18.1
Malinga to Henriques, 2 runs, fifty for Henriques. The dugout applaud and Henriques raises his bat to acknowledge. Very full and almost in the blockhole, squeezed out to mid-wicket

17.1
Vikum Sanjaya to Henriques, SIX, the idea was right from Sanjaya, but the length was not. The slower delivery as a half tracker, Henriques rocks back and pulls it over the deep square leg fence. Makes a dent in the advertising hoardings
16.6
Malinga to Faulkner, out Lbw!! That looked dead. The HotSpot shows a mark on the bat. Unlucky! But Faulkner has to walk back. The slower dipping yorker, Faulkner brings his bat down and a small inside edge is found, the ball deflects onto the back pad. The umpire did not spot the edge and raised his finger as soon as Malinga went up. Faulkner was not happy with the decision, shakes his head as he trudges off. Faulkner lbw b Malinga 1(2)
