Head struggled with the spinning wicket and gifted de Silva a “c” and a “b” (maybe they’re Words with Friends buddies). Khawaja went on in his nonchalant way, continuing to deliver discrete instructions to the ball via his willow (not a euphemism). That was until he popped up a Vandersay delivery into the skilful hands of Nissanka who took a mighty fine close in catch. The sight of Khawaja walking off would have given many Australian fans a case of the giddies as the middle order was suddenly exposed like the backend of an elderly patient in an ill-tied hospital gown.
