L Malinga to H Masakadza, OUT! Soft dismissal! This ball should have been put away to the boundary but it becomes his undoing. Short delivery and going down the leg side, Masakadza looks to pull it fine down the leg side but only manages to get a bit of glove on it. Dickwella collects it behind the stumps and appeals confidently. The umpire has no hesitation in ruling it out. However, he walks across to the square leg umpire and decides to refer it upstairs to check for the overstepping. The replays show that Malinga's front foot is on the line. There might be just a shade of it behind the line but it is in doubt. The third umpire gives the benefit of the doubt to the bowler and Hamilton has to go back to the pavilion. Good start for Sri Lanka.
