	Australia innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	SR Watson	lbw b Mendis	22	32	21	2	1	104.76
	7.3 gone! Watson attempts a horrible sweep to this very full and straight delivery, and he's hit on the back pad. Poor stroke - quality bowling 59/3
	DA Warner	c Dilshan b Mathews	0	1	3	0	0	0.00
	0.4 got him! Slightly shorter by Matthews and Warner cuts and slaps it straight into the hands of point! 1/1
	RT Ponting*	b Mendis	25	23	15	5	0	166.66
	5.6 bowled him! Ponting stepped outside leg trying to smite him over cover but loses his leg stump. Looked to me like a leggie from Mendis 48/2
	BJ Haddin†	b Malinga	16	18	17	0	1	94.11
	10.6 bowled him! Comical cricket. A slower full-toss which Haddin seemed to pick, but it dipped late on him and splattered his stumps - the off stump and middle stump both flattened 74/4
	MJ Clarke	c & b Udana	11	17	15	0	0	73.33
	12.2 another one done by a slower delivery. Are you watching, England? Superb delivery on middle-and-leg which Clarke picked, but got a leading edge back to the bowler who took a great low catch with his left hand 79/5
	DJ Hussey	c Jayasuriya b Udana	28	28	22	1	2	127.27
	18.2 tries to repeat the shot but slices it high and point swallows it with ease 135/7
	MEK Hussey	lbw b Mendis	1	7	5	0	0	20.00
	14.5 what bowling. What belief and guile from Mendis. A quicker and fuller ball to Hussey who's rapped absolutely dead in front. Too quick, too straight 94/6
	MG Johnson	not out	28	24	13	2	2	215.38
	B Lee	b Malinga	15		5	2	1	300.00
	19.2 what a yorker. Oh well bowled! Very, very fast and hit the base of the leg stump which is sent cartwheeling 151/8
	NM Hauritz	c †Sangakkara b Malinga	4	2	3	1	0	133.33
	19.5 outside edge, another one for Malinga - well caught by Sangakkara low to his right 155/9
	NW Bracken	not out	4	1	1	1	0	400.00
	Extras	(w 5)	5
	Total	(9 wickets; 20 overs)	159	(7.95 runs per over)
