    2.5 gone!! In the slot outside off stump, Sehwag is half-forward, doesn't quite get to the pitch, goes through with the shot anyway and ends up mistiming an attempted drive straight to Jayasuriya at mid-off, who takes a good catch diving forward 14/1

    34.4 gone! Kulasekara on a hatrick!! Sri Lanka have fought back well here. Short of a length outside off, a seemingly harmless delivery that Yusuf tries to run down to third man, gets the inside edge and the ball crashes into the off stump 207/4

    7.2 gone! Shorter this time, just marginally outside off, Jayasuriya tries to slap that through the off side off the back foot, was surprised by the bounce there, got more elevation that he would have liked and Rohit Sharma at short cover snaps a smart catch 55/1

    33.4 that looked inevitable, Sri Lanka were struggling badly, flighted outside off, he comes down the track and tries to loft it in the deep extra cover region, times it well but gets the direction wrong, Gautam Gambhir at long-off runs a few paces to his right and cups an easy chance 174/5

    30.3 he's given him! Bowling from round the wicket, drifting into the batsman, the ball held its line, there was no spin on it, tried to cut it expecting the ball to turn, missed it completely as it went straight on to strike him in line with middle 163/4
