        Last Wicket: 76 / 7 - RP Arnold 3 (27)


  • Australia won by 48 runs (D/L Method)  
           Current status at 16:45 GMT is that there is still no play and
            likely to be called off
           If called off the Aussies will win by about 48 runs
           there are still about 15 to 20 mins till we know for sure
           It is still raining and play has not quite yet been called off, we
            have a covered square surrounded by security (rather cute looking)
            dogs and officers
           The par score when it started was 171 indicating a 48 runs win for
            Australia as the minutes count down
           Mind you I would not like to test how cute those dogs out there
            are!
           Match is indeed over with a 48 run win for Australia ending with
            Sri Lanka on 123 for 7
           Australia did have a few wobbles while batting and then Symonds
            came into his best to help put up a reasonable 212
           Then Sri Lankan hopes were finished off by a clinical performance
            by the Aussie bowlers led by Lee with 3 for 35 and Hogg with 2 for
            30 when rain did the rest
           Good bye all and we hope you will all be here, perhaps more as
            India take on Kenya for a day/night game at Durban on Thursday
           Good night for now
           MoM is A Symonds
