India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I at Nagpur, Dec 09 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Mathews fails at the Mathews. At long-off, close to the boundary he makes the catch, lobs the ball back in play, goes out, comes back in, catches. But hold on, he realises he has touched the skirting while taking the catch

lofted down the ground for a couple

flat, pushes him into the crease, and pushed down the ground for one

Ishant drives the first ball he faces wide of extra cover and gets four

and he has bowled him, with a flat delivery, Dinda slogs again and misses. Can Dilshan finish this before the scheduled finish?

short and wide, hit to the right of Dilshan and they take a single

Dinda steps out and hits it back to the bowler this time

this time he goes for the straight hit and connects well for a single

Ojha goes for the big slog and misses

Dinda slogs again, but the long-on is placed wide and it will be just a single

big appeal for lbw, but it is pitched outside leg

Dinda dances down the track and hits him down the ground for a single

Dinda swipes again, and misses, but gets a bye down the leg side

Nehra is run out. He just hits and runs, but Fernando does well to field it to his right and run the stumps down with a direct-hit

Dinda makes room and clears point, wants a second but is sent back, then slips while turning but somehow plonks the bat in in time. Gets two overthrows in the bargain

Dinda makes room and swipes, ends up playing a short ball back to the bowler

lovely yorker, missing the leg stump by inches, he gets a bye though

SL miss out on a run-out here, limply hit towards cover, but Fernando fails to collect the underarm flick

what a shot from Nehra, this is a length ball, and he has absolutely drilled it straight back. The umpire has to duck for cover, and the ball reaches the boundary even before you can finish saying wow

another yorker, gets a sharp single to midwicket
