| Praveen Kumar removed Upul Tharanga with the first ball of the match as India's seamers dominated Sri Lanka in Dambulla |
0.1 | Kumar to Tharanga, OUT, Clatter! What a dramatic start! Upul Tharanga has lost his off stump. It was full in length, landed around the middle and off, and moved towards the off stump. Tharanga was caught at the crease, neither forward nor back, and pushed out at it. He lunged out at it in the last moment and ended up stumbling out of his crease. The ball moved past the desperate waft and crashed into the off stump. Timber! The bails fly! PK jumps for joy. |
WU Tharanga b Kumar 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00 |
3.3 Nehra to Sangakkara, OUT, The short ball works. Dilshan pulled it wide of the fielder couple of deliveries ago but Sangakkara has now holed out to backward square-leg region. It was below chest-high actually but Sanga was late on the shot and ended up edging it high. Ojha ran in from the deep backward square-leg to collect that. It was the shortish ball on the off stump line and Sanga tried to fetch it from there. It wasn't a bouncer or anything: between waist and chest high. | |

6.2 | Kumar to Jayawardene, OUT, Loud shout and it has been given. Height was the question. Mahela trudges off slowly. It cut in from outside off and trapped him in line. It hit him above the knee roll. The bat was nowhere in line. Got to see the replays to check whether it would have gone over. So do hang on. Mahela turns behind to have a look as he walks off. Hawk eye says it would have clipped the very top of the leg stump |
DPMD Jayawardene lbw b Kumar 4 (11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 36.36 |
12.4 | I Sharma to Samaraweera, OUT, What a soft dismissal! Almost contrived! Samaraweera walked right across the stumps and worked the back-of-length delivery on the off and middle stump line straight to short midwicket. Absolute dolly of a catch. Sri Lanka are wobbling here. Samaraweera was looking to whip it to square-leg but ended up lobbing it to short midwicket |
TT Samaraweera c Jadeja b I Sharma 7 (23b 1x4 0x6) SR: 30.43 |
21.4 | Ojha to Dilshan, OUT, he suggested in the first ball of the over that he should have gone over midwicket. He tries it this time to his own peril. It was a flighted delivery around off and he went down on his knee and tried to slog-sweep it over midwicket. But he top-edged it straight up in the air. Gone! Out for 45. |
