Canada v New Zealand - Action Replay

Sri Lanka claimed one more wicket with the following ball after Gibbs' departure. Boeta Dippenaar was trapped leg before the wicket by Jayasuriya off the first ball of the 30th over, and South Africa were in all sorts of trouble - 149/5. Skipper Shaun Pollock joined his deputy Mark Boucher in the middle, and decided to make a match of it. Runs were hard to come by, and the two senior pros added 63 runs for the sixth wicket partnership, and put South Africa back on track. Then the unbelievable thing happened, the third umpire gave Pollock run out, with the TV images being unclear about whether the bails were off the stumps as Pollock scampered home. There was enough doubt in it, but the rub of the green went Sri Lanka's way.
