Dickwella is begging for this to be given! Marais Erasmus isn't interested, but after an age, <strong>Sri Lanka review</strong>. This looked to be outside the line of off stump.

<strong>I adore Dickwella's vigorous appeals!</strong> We've got another review, as Dickwella's certain he's edged this. Jennings was looking to sweep but is beaten by the bounce.
