Chandimal† c †Dhoni
b Nehra 4 10 11 1 0 36.36 2.2 137.7 kph, gone. Chandimal's exuberant slog doesn't work. Nehra bangs it on a good
length on leg, Chandimal backs away and
comes down, looking to go over midwicket but
gets a thin inside edge on its way to the
keeper. Had he stayed in his normal stance, it
would have been a bad ball on his hips with short fine leg up but Chandimal looked to go
hard and pays the price. 6/1 TM Dilshan c Ashwin
b Pandya 18 31 16 2 0 112.50 6.1 132.6 kph, taken. The big wicket of Dilshan. Pandya strikes with his first ball. A well-directed
bouncer on middle and Dilshan pulls, but fails
to keep it down. Goes straight down Ashwin's
throat at fine leg. 31/3 DSNFG
Jayasuriya c †Dhoni
b Bumrah 3 6 5 0 0 60.00 3.4 139.3 kph, late appeal and gone. Terrific delivery that, Dhoni collects and belatedly
appeals. Good length, top-of-off. Jayasuriya
pokes at it away from his body and gets the
thinnest of snicks through to the keeper.
Audible sound and given. Could have only been
the bat 15/2 CK
Kapugedera c Pandya
b Bumrah 30 59 32 3 0 93.75 17.2 135.4 kph, taken. Wow, what sweet timing, but he has picked out sweeper cover to
perfection. Full delivery outside off, Kapugedara
smashes an inside-out drive with amazing
timing and it carries to Pandya at sweeper cover
who takes a really good catch, backtracking. 105/7 AD
Mathews* b Pandya 18 17 19 3 0 94.73 10.6 137.1 kph, big big wicket this. Full outside off, Mathews brings an angled bat down late
and gets a thick inside edge which clatters into
the stumps. The crucial wicket of Mathews just
when he was looking to explode. How much
will that effect SL? 57/4 TAM
Siriwardana c Raina b
Ashwin 22 19 17 1 1 129.41 16.1 86.9 kph, taken. Tossed up on off, Siriwardana clears one foot and launches it
high in the air towards long-on where Raina
settles under it to take an easy catch. 100/5 MD Shanaka run out
(Sharma/
Ashwin) 1 2 4 0 0 25.00 16.6 from Ashwin, low full toss on middle, slogged away to midwicket. And that looks out.
Rohit returns a good throw and Shanaka is well
short. Out of a free hit. What a way to go. Well
done by Rohit too 104/6 NLTC Perera st †Dhoni
b Ashwin 17 9 6 2 1 283.33 18.5 92.3 kph, lovely bowling. Sees Perera advancing and bowls it very slow but very wide
outside off. So wide that it is called a wide.
Perera comes down but fails to connect with a
big heave, wrong shot selection to that ball.
But Dhoni whips off the bails in a jiffy and the
umpire doesn't need the help of his upstairs colleague. 125/8 KMDN
Kulasekara run out
(Kohli/
†Dhoni) 13 14 9 2 0 144.44 19.6 from Nehra, smashed away towards deep midwicket. Full toss on middle and Kulasekara
slogs it away to deep midwicket. The throw is
quick and Dhoni takes off the bails again. This
time, Kulasekara is well out. 138/9 PVD

Dhawan c
†Chandimal
b Kulasekara 1 9 3 0 0 33.33 1.6 126.2 kph, got him, excellent delivery. Slanting across into the corridor, the length is
just right, and Dhawan is late getting forward
to push into the covers, his front foot is still
landing on its heel when the ball kisses his
outside edge through to the keeper 11/1 RG
Sharma c
Kapugedera
b Kulasekara 15 15 14 3 0 107.14 3.2 126.6 kph, got him! Beautiful length, and he shifted his line slightly wider to entice the
drive away from the body. Goes for the drive on
the up, it seams away slightly - just about
straightens - and the nick is pouched nicely by
Kapugedera at slip, with two hands, a couple of
inches above the ground 16/2 V Kohli not out 56 85 47 7 0 119.14 SK Raina c Kulasekara
b Shanaka 25 35 26 2 0 96.15 11.1 126.3 kph, length ball on middle and leg, and Shanaka has struck first ball! Looks to step
inside the line and hit over mid-off, the ball is a
little shorter than he thought, and it hits high
on the bat and loops high in the air, and is
caught on the juggle by mid-off 70/3 Yuvraj

b Perera 35 30 18 3 3 194.44 16.5 134.6 kph, digs it in short now, and that's a well-directed bouncer. Yuvraj takes his eye off
the ball a little while swiveling to hook, and
top-edges to the man at fine leg 121/4 HH
Pandya b Herath 2 3 4 0 0 50.00 17.5 94.5 kph, bowled him! Herath has just worked Pandya over here. Bowled it much
quicker, on a good length, and got it to
straighten. Pandya's front shoulder opens up
again as he looks to whip across the line, and
the ball beats his outside edge and pegs back
off stump 125/5 MS
