Zimbabwe v Netherlands - Action Replay

Chris Gayle had nicely settled in to play the lead role, cracking boundaries off the fast bowlers. Ramnaresh Sarwan, batting at number four, had a good measure of the Sri Lankan attack. When Dilhara Fernando dug a ball in short, Sarwan hooked it away for four. The following ball was a much faster bouncer, and the unlucky Sarwan ducked straight into the line of the delivery. Felled by the bouncer, Sarwan was taken to the hospital immediately. This was something one did not want to see happening on a cricket ground. Hooper replaced Sarwan, but only for a minute, trapped lbw by Fernando for a golden duck. It was a masterstroke by Jayasuriya to bring back Vaas for a second spell, and he got rid of Gayle (55) and Jacobs (0) in the same over. Jacobs was quite unlucky to be given out caught behind.
