India 2nd Innings Live:
India lost 6th wicket in 61st over – 6-186 (Dhoni, 60.5 ov)
Malinga to Dhoni, OUT, 140.0 kph, oh boy! Malinga has blown away Dhoni with a ball very similar to the one that got Tendulkar!
That came in from that uncomfortable angle, homing in on legstump line and then straightening a tad as it crunched past Dhoni’s toes into the base of leg and middle. Captain cool had no clue about that one and India have lost a big wicket.
India lost 7th wicket in 64th over – 7-197 (Harbhajan, 63.6 ov)
Muralitharan to Harbhajan Singh, OUT, 79.4 kph, see you later. Murali picks up 799! Doosra angling into middle and off from wide of the crease and Harbhajan tries the paddle sweep again. Terrible shot selection. He misses, the ball straightens and hits him in front of off. It would have taken out off. Harper agrees.
India: 200 runs in 66.4 overs (405 balls), Extras 8
Drinks: India – 240/7 in 77.0 overs (VVS Laxman 30, A Mithun 25)
India lost 8th wicket in 82nd over – 8-246 (Mithun, 81.3 ov)
Malinga to Mithun, OUT, Mithun has lasted exactly one ball of Malinga mayhem! That was as plumb as they come. Scorching reverse swinging yorker pins him in front of off stump. Harper took a moment thinking about it, but it was plumb the moment it left Malinga’s hand. Screamer of a delivery!
VVS Laxman: 50 off 101 balls (3 x 4)
Lunch: India – 292/8 in 95.0 overs (VVS Laxman 58, I Sharma 18)
India: 300 runs in 97.3 overs (591 balls), Extras 19
India lost 9th wicket in 101st over – 9-314 (Laxman, 100.2 ov)
Muralitharan to Sharma, OUT, And now we have a run-out! lunges forward and steers it towards short third man, they risk the single and Mathews fires a flat throw that hits the base of the stumps! Laxman’s bat is on the line as the bail leaves the groove, Prasanna Jayawardene appeals and the third umpire takes a look, the affable Murali smiles, he has one last shot at 800.
Drinks: India – 333/9 in 114.0 overs (I Sharma 31, PP Ojha
India lost 10th wicket in 116th over – 10-338 (Ojha, 115.4 ov)
Muralitharan to Ojha, OUT, 800 it is! The wait and the tension is finally over! Tossed up outside off and the four men around the bat wait in anticipation! Ojha lunges forward, edges it and Mahela falls to his left and takes the catch at first slip! No need to look anywhere for confirmation, straightforward and Murali is ecstatic.
Innings Break: India – 338/10 in 115.4 overs (I Sharma 31)
Sri Lanka 2nd Innings
