Offcutter into the pitch. Short and outside off. Liyanage winds up to slam it over the leg side. But he loses his balance sends a leading edge to Samson at cover 36/39.2 Welcome back, Jadeja! Chandimal advances down the track. Jadeja drags his length back and holds it back. On a length, turns and bounces past the outside edge.
