Worth it, dunno, because I had to

Crap, Radio Sport's commentary inst working online, so infrequent looks at Cricinfo will have to suffice, unless someone is looking at Sky Sports.

SL 143/9

Malinga c McCullum b Franklin 0

Lead of 91, bit of rain in the air, they've been off already.

DMC

A pure "what happened next" moment....

SL 170 all out
Muralitharan run out 8

53.1 Bond to Sangakkara, 1 run, OUT, what's going on here, Sangakkara whips that down to fine leg and the single brings up his century, but Murali touched down at the striker's end, turned around and left his crease to congratulate Sangakkara, the throw came in and McCullum whipped off the bails to run-out Murali, what a way for the innings to end. The ball was not dead and Murali should not have left his crease, it's all very unfortunate for Sri Lanka.

State of play: Rain, early lunch taken.

Sri Lanka 154 & 170 (53.1 ov)
New Zealand 206

New Zealand need 119 runs to win.
