    16.6 and the fun is over for Dilshan, who again looks to go downtown but just gets under this one, lofting it down the ground where two fielders converge and its Raina's catch 152/4
    5.5 good catch to get rid of Jayasuriya! Irfan pitches it up and Jayasuriya clubs it across the line and almost manages to beat mid-on, but the tall and gangly Ishant Sharma leaps up and intercepts it with one hand 59/1
    11.2 caught and bowled! Mubarak actually manages to connect one off the middle but he's clubbed it straight back to bro Yo's lap, which may not be a bad thing for Sri Lanka 87/2
    13.3 tossed up outside off stump, he tries to sweep it over midwicket but gets a top edge that Sehwag, running in from backward point, pouches very easily 107/3

    1.1 India are struggling here, tries to pull it away over midwicket, gets a top-edge and it's snapped up easily at mid-on by Weeraratne 14/2
    0.6 run out, Sri Lanka have been gifted a wicket here, dropped on the off side and calls for a quick single, Sehwag calls and charges down towards the strikers end but is beaten by the point fielder Kapugedera who throws down the stumps on the dive to find him well short. Spectacular fielding there 14/1
    9.6 gets him finally! Tossed up on the off stump, tries to slog-sweep that over the deep midwicket region, gets a top edge and De Saram running in a few steps from the deep takes a well-judged catch 99/4
    8.1 gone first ball! Short and wide, tries to cut it off the back foot, gets a thick edge and Dilshan snaps it easily behind the wickets. The bowling change has worked wonders and India have to rebuild again 81/3
    13.2 big wicket! Tossed up on middle and leg, lands on a good length, tries to swing it away over midwicket, fails to connect, and the stumps take a beating 108/5
    14.2 India are sliding here! Charges down the track to deposit it over the long-on boundary, gets under it but ends up lofting it really high without getting much distance on it, Mubarak cups it well after the ball takes forever to get to him 110/6
    15.1 yorked himself there! Is it all over for India now? Comes down the track, misreads the length completely, fails to bring his bat down in time and the stumps are uprooted 115/7
