OUT! TAKEN! That is the huge wicket, huge, huge, wicket. All this while, we here were wondering why is Chamika Karunaratne bowling at the moment! This is why he was given the ball! The crowd here erupts as they know Sri Lanka now have a really strong chance in this game. It is short and outside off, at a good pace.

Brilliant from Chamika Karunaratne as he runs towards the ball, picks it up and throws it to the keeper who whips the bails off. It is referred, replays show that the batter is short.
