WPUJC Vaas batted with a runner for one ball before being dismissed.
During change of innings, the match referee announced that a 3 by de Silva should have been a 4. The innings was thus increased from 9-254 to 9-255 and de Silva's, Kasprowicz's, and the FoW figures were changed accordingly.
MA Taylor run out by direct hit from Muralitharan at deep mid-on
