#4 Malinga bowls injury free spell

Malinga is back!

There must be nothing more enjoyable for Sri Lankan fans than watching Lasith Malinga bowl his toe-crushing yorkers to perfection in full fitness. The slinger was back in national colours after a long hiatus and delivered a good four over spell.

Malinga showed little signs of rust as he mixed up his yorkers and slower balls early in his spell. The Lankan bowler went on to dismiss Travis Head and Ashton Turner off successive balls when he returned to bowl at the death. He had both the batsmen caught by Seekkuge Prasanna at the edge of the boundary. His figures read 4-0-29-2.
