Dhananjaya to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Rajapaksa!! The extra aggression hasn't paid off for Mitchell Marsh. Well tossed up delivery, Mitchell Marsh danced down to heave it down the ground. But he only managed to cue-end it and the man at long-off gobbled it sans much of a problem. He wanted to hit it too hard and lost his shape trying to smash it too hard. The long boundaries also didn't help him much. The man at long-off settled himself before grabbing it. Mitchell Marsh c Rajapaksa b Dhananjaya 17(17) [4s-1 6s-1]
