2.6 to KL Rahul, Dhammika with the breakthrough, there has not been much movement with the new ball for Sri Lanka, there is a bit of it now, as this moves further in to Rahul from a length, and strikes the pad before he can get the bat around, given by umpire Oxenford after a long appeal. 14/1 | ||||||||||
| Nuwan Pradeep | 26 | 2 | 98 | 3 | 3.76 | 111 | 12 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
87.6 to S Dhawan, Dhawan has played on, half-hearted push to a short of a length ball, it moved in just a bit around off, Dhawan was late in getting bat down, and inside edged it on to the stumps. 294/5 89.5 to R Ashwin, Ashwin departs early, loose drive against the new ball, this is a good delivery too, pitching on a length outside off, Ashwin tries to dismiss it on the up, it zips in through the gate after pitching and strikes off. 302/6 114.5 to WP Saha, Saha gone on the bouncer, Chandimal takes it over his head, as Saha attempts to hook, he is disappointed, because replays show it pinged the helmet, full marks to the fast bowler for the effort late in the day though. 366/9 | ||||||||||
