W
Swepson to de Silva, out Caught by Carey!! Swepson strikes! de Silva is given caught behind and he starts walking without even discussing about the review. This is a dream dismissal for any leg-spinner. The ball drifts in, lands on middle and leg and spins away, de Silva is drawn into the forward defensive and all he could manage was an outside edge. Carey holds on even though there was some extra bounce. de Silva c Carey b Swepson 14(22) [4s-2]
