Lahiru Thirimanne 10(36)
10.6
Ajaz Patel to Thirimanne, out Stumped!! Rush of blood and it's all over for Thirimanne - the knives will be out after yet another failure. Not sure what was the plan? This was tossed up well outside off and drifted back with the angle, Thirimanne ran down the track, didn't get anywhere near the ball and then swiped ungainly across the line, beaten on the inside edge and Watling has plenty of time to break the stumps. The visitors would have loved a wicket before lunch and Thirimanne has gifted them one. Thirimanne st Watling b Ajaz Patel 10(36) [4s-1]
