It became difficult for the bowlers to bowl their lines on the opening day, and the fourth day of the match was no exception. On Monday, Sri Lanka had resumed their second innings at 113 for 2, after the hosts had enforced follow-on. In the 121st over, Michael Bracewell bowled a delivery towards the off-stump but the heavy wind caused the ball to outrageously drift away from batter Prabath Jayasuriya and go well out of his reach.
