Shamsi to Dananjaya, out Caught by Markram!! Fifer for Shamsi and SL have been derailed in the second ODI. SA level the series 1-1. That was a well tossed up and Dananjaya lofted it high into the night sky. But Markram wasn't much fazed by it and took a good catch at long-off. They have hardly put a foot wrong today and deserve to win. Dananjaya c Markram b Shamsi 3(4)

      Shamsi to Karunaratne, FOUR, and he traverses the ball through the greenery on the off-side. That was wide, floated up and Karunaratne drove it through the covers for a four. The wet ball now being looked at by the umpire. Has stopped spinning much and the bowler as well as the SA skipper want it changed. Karunaratne on the other hand is adding to his reputation of being a solid bat down the order. Such a handy player he has been for SL ever since his debut. He impressed a lot during the India series and his good work seems to be continuing as well

      Shamsi to Karunaratne, SIX, was floated up, in the arc and out of the park. He loves hitting them down the ground. Saw that in the India series as well.

      Shamsi to Asalanka, out Caught by (sub)Verreynne!! Asalanka had to be the miracle man given the daunting nature of the required rate but it is not to be. He is gone. That was a well tossed up delivery and Asalanka slog swept it but ended up finding the fielder at deep mid. That was very well looped up and the batter just couldn't place it well. He didn't time it either. Shamsi has his third scalp. Asalanka c (sub)Verreynne b Shamsi 77(69) [4s-5 6s-3]

      Shamsi to Shanaka, out Caught by Linde!! Rank long hop and it has removed the Sri Lankan skipper. That was short, turned in and the batter pulled it away only to find the man at deep square, who dived forward and took a good low catch. There was a little confusion about the catch as Shanaka wasn't convinced but the third umpire cleared all the air. SL won't be happy at all with their skipper's dismissal.

      Shamsi to de Silva, out Caught by Klaasen!! Strangled down leg. Can someone be more unlucky? That turned down leg and de Silva got a feather on it and the keeper did well to take it. The batter stood his ground but SA were adamant in taking the review and rightly so. SL in trouble once again. The break has helped SA to disturb the momentum of the SL batters. An innocuous delivery has got rid of the batter. And a good take from the keeper as it is never easy down leg. de Silva c Klaasen b Shamsi 12(24)
