    11.1 and again, he gets the breakthrough early, a short of length ball, Gambhir looks to dab it past the keeper, only manages to get it as far as Sangakkara 96/2
    17.2 low full toss outside legstump, Raina looks to swat that one, gets a top-edge which ends up as a simple catch to deep midwicket, not the greatest of deliveries, but Sri Lanka won't complain 144/3
