Over 0.6 U Yadav bowls a back of length delivery to MDKJ Perera, CAUGHT BEHIND, out of nowhere Yadav produces a magic ball which takes off around middle with steep bounce and away movement to force Perera to nick it behind. Saha takes it overhead!

Over 2.1 U Yadav bowls a back of length delivery to KC Sangakkara, CAUGHT, Sanga gets behind the line around middle but is forced to edge this away going seamer into the bucket hands of Ashwin at first slip! Yadav will be on a hat-trick! Nice pace and bounce for Umesh Yadav off this pitch. And great catching in the slip from Ashwin something we don't expect from the Indian team!

Over 24.6 AT Rayudu bowls a tossed up delivery to TM Dilshan, CAUGHT, Dilshan jumps out for a big hit but can only slice it inside out to Rahane at extra covers wh leaps up to take a sharp overhead catch!! Rayudu was making it tough by bowling on to the pads from round the sticks in this over.

Over 30.3 Akshar Patel bowls it flat in the air to AD Mathews, CAUGHT, Mathews sees this short and wants to pull it over mid wicket for a boundary but it is the arm ball which skids through to force a miscued hit in the air and straight to Kohli at mid off!

Over 32.5 Akshar Patel bowls a tossed up delivery to Ashan Priyanjan, CAUGHT, Priyanjan bends down for the sweep and it is a full ball which he drags flat towards mid on where Yadav dives to his left to take a low catch in the circle!

Over 34.5 Akshar Patel bowls a tossed up delivery to Chaturanga de Silva, CAUGHT, now what was this, de Silva makes room for a glory hit over extra covers but can only spoon a simple catch in the ring to Dhawan! I am sure this wasn't the last over of the Sri Lankan innings for that kind of shot to be played!

Over 36.2 U Yadav bowls a back of length delivery to NLTC Perera, CAUGHT, Perera closes the face of the bat in a flick shot little early and the ball climbs up to force a leading edge which lobs up to short extra covers!

Over 44.3 R Ashwin bowls a tossed up delivery to DPMD Jayawardene, STUMPED OUT, Mahela jumps out for a big hit and fails to get bat on to ball! He is beaten all ends up by the straighter one outside off to get stumped out.

Over 48.2 DS Kulkarni bowls a pitched up delivery to KMDN Kulasekara, CAUGHT, Kulasekara whacks this high in the air off his pads, it looks good for a six but the ground is quite big and he gets caught by the sideways running by Rahane to his right. India need 243 to win from 50 Overs.
