Commonwealth Bank Series - 11th match

India v Sri Lanka

India won by 7 wickets (with 80 balls remaining)

6.2

Maharoof to Sehwag, OUT, that will only make D/L calculations tougher for India. Sehwag is gone, once again trying to heave a short ball over mid-on, but this time it loops off the top edge and lands in front of Dilshan, who tumbles forward and holds well. Sehwag will wonder if he should have gone squarer than that. The slowness of the pitch meant that was tougher.

V Sehwag c Dilshan b Maharoof 30 (29m 16b 5x4 1x6) SR: 187.50

India 54/1   SR Tendulkar 24* (22b 3x4)   MF Maharoof 0.2-0-4-1

9.2

Malinga to Tendulkar, OUT, Tendulkar is gone, and this might be his last innings in this country that loves him so much. 144 kph yorker from Malinga, and Sachin pays the price for playing a high-risk shot. He's walked right across the stumps for the flick and missed the straight one. Hits the boot in front of middle and off. Sachin wasn't looking at the umpire, he was lookiing at the ball as it hurtled towards square leg. But he knew the finger was going up.

SR Tendulkar lbw b Malinga 39 (45m 30b 5x4 0x6) SR: 130.00

India 86/2   G Gambhir 17* (10b 3x4)   SL Malinga 3.2-0-32-1

27.3

Mathews to Kohli, 1 run, OUT, Gambhir is gone. It was a high risk second run, and Gambhir took on Chandimal, but what a throw from deep midwicket. Kohli works another slower ball off the pads, it loops off the edge, but safely away from the fielders. Gambhir came back for the second, and Chandimal's throw to Mathews on the bounce left the bowler having very little to do.

G Gambhir run out 63 (97m 64b 4x4 0x6) SR: 98.43

India 201/3   V Kohli 61* (55b 4x4 1x6)   AD Mathews 5.3-0-29-0
