Alick Athanaze to Janith Liyanage
OUT! RUN OUT! That is a sensational piece of fielding by Brandon King and Janith Liyanage has to walk back for 24. Alick Athanaze keeps darting the ball across on a shorter length and Liyanage rocks back to hammer it through covers. The timing isn't quite there and it goes to the left of King who springs across and makes the stop. The batters start running but hesitate a bit and by then, King turns around and throws the ball back to the bowler. The bails are taken off and the dive couldn't save Liyanage either.
