38.3
Perera to Duminy, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Got him, yes gone! 150th ODI wicket for Perera! I spoke too soon about Duminy, he's gone playing a rash stroke. Gave charge and made room for the booming drive but could only hit it uppishly straight to cover where Mendis grabs a sharp take. Just when this game seemed like it was heading back to a formality, a spark of excitement is back again. Still SA's game of course but cricket is a funny game, ain't it? Duminy c Kusal Mendis b Perera 32(29) [4s-1 6s-1]
38.2
Perera to Duminy, FOUR, swatted away! Duminy has been refreshing to watch this series, extremely positive and using his experience to good use. Picked the slower one early and though it kept a bit low, he adjusted to crash the pull through square leg

P Jayasuriya to Willem Mulder, no run, excited appeal for LBW but it's denied by the umpire. Looked close in real time, SL don't have a review to challenge it. This was very full, around middle and Mulder got pinged on the pad as he missed the flick. Considering that Jayasuriya doesn't turn it much, looked plumb to me

35.1
P Jayasuriya to Duminy, SIX, thumped away! That would calm the nerves in the dug out. Duminy charges down the pitch on seeing the flight and shovels it over long-on. Sent it over the ropes for a flat six. Positive intent from Duminy, he will be confident after the last match's heroics

28.3
Rajitha to Duminy, no run, rash from Duminy, uses his feet and makes room for the inside out loft but it's too wide outside off. Fails to connect

Dananjaya to Duminy, no run, another appeal, this time against Duminy. Turned down once more.
