Malcolm Waller 36(39)
63.2
Herath to Waller, out Bowled!! What a ball that is to get rid of Waller. In fact he set him up for this. The previous ball went straight with the arm. He goes on the back foot to negotiate thinking it would come in, but wan't to be as it turns away to beat the outside edge and it shatters the middle stump. They are delighted with the dismissal.
