Batting: Uva Next
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3 | FOUR | J Root to Rajapaksa, FOUR, that's a confident start! Jumps out of the track and drives it on the up between extra cover and mid off | 5/0 |
| 1.5 | FOUR | Sidebottom to Dilshan Munaweera, FOUR, nicely played, just a bit of width and Munaweera plays the cut to perfection, hits it between point and third man for a boundary | 12/0 |
| 2 | FOUR | Sidebottom to Dilshan Munaweera, FOUR, another wonderful shot, another boundary. Comes down the track and slaps this one over covers, a couple of bounces and over the ropes | 16/0 |
| 2.3 | SIX | Patterson to Dilshan Munaweera, SIX, first six of the innings. Not a bad ball from Patterson but Munaweera looks in great form, comes down the track and gives himself some room in the process, then frees his arms and swats it with a flat bat over sweeper cover. A flat six! | 23/0 |
| 3.3 | FOUR | Sidebottom to Dilshan Munaweera, FOUR, another boundary. Poor ball from Sidebottom, short and down the leg side, Munaweera pulls it to fine leg, didn't time it well but had enough to get a boundary | 28/0 |
| 4.4 | FOUR | Patterson to Rajapaksa, FOUR, more boundaries. They look comfortable against the short balls, Rajapaksa goes on the backfoot quickly and pulls it away through deep square leg | 40/0 |
| 5.2 | OUT | M Ashraf to Dilshan Munaweera, out Caught by David Miller!! Superb catch! But wait, they're checking for a no ball. It looks close but it goes the bowler's way. Back to the description: it was a short of length delivery on the stumps, Munaweera gave himself some room and cut it uppishly, hit it well but Miller flew to his right at covers and took a low catch. A much needed wicket for Yorkshire. Dilshan Munaweera c David Miller b M Ashraf 22(19) [4s-3 6s-1] | 42/1 |
| 7.2 | SIX | Adil Rashid to Rajapaksa, SIX, poor delivery and Rajapaksa dismisses it. Short and straight, Rajapaksa goes on the backfoot and pulls it away over deep mid wicket, big six that | 56/1 |
| 7.3 | OUT | Adil Rashid to Rajapaksa, out Bowled!! That's the perfect response from the bowler. He bowls it faster, fuller and much straighter, Rajapaksa looks to make some room and play through the off side but misses it completely. Another important wicket. Rajapaksa b Adil Rashid 24(21) [4s-2 6s-1] | |
| 9.2 | FOUR | Adil Rashid to Chanderpaul, FOUR, uh oh, that's sloppy fielding. Nicely played though, Chanderpaul waits on the backfoot and plays a late cut, Patterson runs back from short third man, gets to the ball but pushes it over the ropes as he tries to flick it back | 69/2 |
| 10.2 | SIX | Rafiq to McDonald, SIX, immense power! It looked like a casual flick! Full and straight, McDonald comes on the frontfoot and lofts it over long on, didn't seem to hit it hard but he timed it superbly | |
| 11.2 | FOUR | M Ashraf to McDonald, FOUR, full and down the leg side, McDonald flicks it to fine leg, collects a boundary | 87/2 |
| 12.1 | FOUR | Rafiq to Chanderpaul, FOUR, clever batting. Flighted up on the legs, Chanderpaul walks across and paddle sweeps it, gets some bat on it and collects a four through fine leg | 93/2 |
| 12.4 | OUT | Rafiq to McDonald, out Caught by Ballance!! Straight to the fielder! Gently tossed up by Rafiq, McDonald accepts the invitation but lofts it straight to long on. Rafiq is overjoyed, a well deserved wicket for him. McDonald c Ballance b Rafiq 17(16) [4s-1 6s-1] | 94/3 |
| 13.4 | FOUR | Patterson to Chanderpaul, FOUR, lovely batting! Short and straight, Chanderpaul shuffles across and paddle-flicks it over short fine leg, superb improvisation | 100/3 |
| 14 | OUT | Patterson to Chanderpaul, out Caught by D Hodgson!! Patterson has his revenge. Short and on the off, Chanderpaul looks to make room and cut but gets a faint edge. A steady innings ends. Chanderpaul c D Hodgson b Patterson 27(23) [4s-3] | 100/4 |
| 14.2 | FOUR | Adil Rashid to Kandamby, FOUR, another gift to Kandamby. Adil Rashid has been generous in this over already. A full toss and Kandamby thwacks it through deep mid wicket | 104/4 |
| 15.2 | FOUR | Patterson to Oram, FOUR, nicely played. Back of length and just outside off, Oram makes room and steers it late to third man | 112/4 |
| 16 | OUT | Patterson to Oram, out Caught by Ballance!! Looks to attack but holes out. A high full toss on the middle and leg, Oram looks to smash it over long on but mistimes it straight to long on. Uva are losing momentum. Oram c Ballance b Patterson 8(5) [4s-1] | 116/5 |
| 17 | OUT | M Ashraf to Chinthaka Jayasinghe, out Caught by David Miller at mid wicket!! That's the definition of poor cricket. 6th full toss in a row from M Ashraf but Jayasinghe has somehow managed to get out. He could have hit it anywhere but hit it straight to deep mid wicket. Poor bowling, poor batting. Chinthaka Jayasinghe c David Miller b M Ashraf 3(4) | 121/6 |
| 18.4 | SIX | M Ashraf to Kandamby, SIX, finally M Ashraf pitches the ball but Kandamby smashes him. Right in the slot and Kandamby blasts it over long on, powerful strike | 135/6 |
| 19 | FOUR | M Ashraf to Senanayake, FOUR, how do I describe that shot? Weird, but effective. A full toss once again, Senanayake looks to paddle it over the keeper but gets a thick inside edge, the ball somehow manages to go all the way towards fine leg, just a bounce and over the ropes | 140/6 |
| 19.1 | FOUR | Sidebottom to Kandamby, FOUR, good shot. Full and outside off, Kandamby makes room and smashes it between extra cover and mid off, useful runs | 144/6 |
| 19.3 | OUT | Sidebottom to Senanayake, out Bowled!! The off and middle stumps have been uprooted. Full and straight from Sidebottom, Senanayake makes room and looks to slog but misses it completely. Senanayake b Sidebottom 9(8) [4s-1] | 145/7 |

Jaques c and b Dilshan Munaweera 32(21) [4s-5] | 66/3 |

| 16.5 | DROPPED | Dilshan Munaweera to Adil Rashid, 2 runs, catch dropped by Rajapakasa, Rashid slog sweeps a full delivery and Rajapaksa spills a simple chance. That could prove costly. | 120/4 |
