I'm following an absolutely cracking game on cricinfo at the moment.

Sri Lanka made 157/9 having been 121-3 after 14 overs with Jayawardene in full flow.

Having scored one run off 5 balls, Watson then hit 56 off the next 17 (6x4s and 5x6s), but his dismissal prompted a collapse of 4 wickets for 4 runs in 16 balls, including what sounds like an absolutely stonking catch when Angelo Mathews caught it just inside the boundary, but with his momentum heading over the boundary and two feet in the air, he chucked it over his head, and Jawayardene, who was some 30m away went and caught it.

Mitchell Johnson has now survived a hattrick ball as having made it to 113-4, the Convicts lost two wickets in two balls to Mendis, who now has figures of 3-1-11-5. In a 20:20 game.
 
I watched this on Eurosport this afternoon. Superb match. Mendis ended up with 6fer.

The Mathews/Jayawardene catch was brilliant.
