Victoria stay alive,Wayamba knocked out

Jayawardene and skipper Jehan Mubarak,who added 72 runs in 52 balls for the third wicket,were the only batsmen to score in double figures as five of their teammates were back to the pavilion for duck. Electing to bat,Wayamba had a shaky start as they lost two early wickets in opener Jeevantha Kulatunga and Mahela Udawatte with the score reading just nine in 1.3 overs. Skipper Mubarak then got into the act and blasted two fours off Peter Siddle to bring up the fifty in 6.2 overs,before crashing another Andrew McDonald delivery for another four to complete their 50-run partnership.

Brief scores: Wayamba 106 all out in 16.3 overs Mahela Jayawardene 51,Jehan Mubarak 44; Peter Siddle 4/29. Victoria 108 for two in 13.2 overs David Hussey 47,Aaron Finch 38; Thisara Perera 1/13.
