Wriddhiman Saha 16(32)
114.1
Herath to Saha, out Caught by Dilruwan Perera!! Oh what was that from Saha? A gentle shake of the head as he walks back. He's unhappy with himself. So the change of bowling has worked for the Lankans. It was a gentle flighted delivery ball from Herath, Saha stepped down the pitch, got too close to the pitch of the ball, wanted to loft the ball back over the bowler's head, but ended up chipping it to mid-on. Saha c Dilruwan Perera b Herath 16(32) [4s-3]
