Rocklara, please remember to keep all world cricket topics in cricket chat/news forum.

Update, rain delay.
Score - 272/4 (74.2)

When Hinds and Lara were blazing along...a fielder at short midwicket seemed to be going to pick up the ball which caused Lara to return to his crease (at the non-striker's end) but Hinds kept on going...and was 3/4 way down when the short midwicket left the ball and mid-on picked up and Hinds was short by a few feet.

Sarwan looked to be poking away at Vaas but then was contraversially given out by Bowden. I say contraversially because Bowden could not use TV Replay (by virtue of ICC Laws) to see that the ball did infact hit the ground just before hitting the boot of the man at forward shortleg and it bobbed up to Atapattu at wide Mid-on. After a short ump confrence, the crooked finger went up, Sarwan shaked his head numerous times and walked off slowly.

Samuels and Lara are at the crease.

Point of impact just after it hit the ground

Score is now 290-5. Kalu missed a stumping off Lara and Lara looks to be struggling. But Kalu stumped Samuels off Murali and Jacobs just smashed him for four. Lara is on 98.

here's the scorecard 2 runs ago

Update: Lara just punched Lokuarachchi for 16 runs of 5 balls in an over (last ball dot-ball) so Vaas is back on.

 

[killa_stiky2002]

This is how Jacobs went

man...that's not very close when you think a bit,the bowl was drifted to off-stump slightly but it was a good decision,good to lara with another century.
