100 off 61 to get England back in the game when they were dead and buried............

Exciting finish and need 30 off 18......
What a talent!

Brilliant hitting !! gutted he left to go to Lancashire

Really hope he can get them over the line - that knock deserves the win
 
Records tumbling all over the place.....one of the best ever one day knocks......if they win it will be a classic escape to victory!!
 
Such a shame to end like that but thats an outstanding knock
 
I'm not really a fan of cricket and I know this has been done to death but can someone explain to me exactly how Malinga's bowling action is legal? It's just a chuck down the wicket.
 
On a slightly separate note, I've no idea how Malinga gets away with his bowling action!! I know it's supposed to have been checked and approved, but I reckon it's getting worse every time I see him bowl.........it's just not cricket!! :rant:

His arm is straight enough when he releases the ball. Its a slinging action but very legal
 
Lol......same thought as Hawkeye!!!

Just look at the elbow when doing the action - its straighter than some spinners. It just looks awkward. Roger Harper had the same sort of action but was just a bit slower.

Based on the laws, his action is a darn sight more legal than almost every so called "mystery spinner" in the game, whilst his looks dodgy his arm doesnt straightne much, certainly not compared to many others
