Cricket – Sri Lanka vs India Day 1 Highlights – 3rd Test
Cricket – Sri Lanka vs India Day 1 Highlights 3rd Test: (SL vs Ind) Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first, Sri Lanka score 293 for 4 wickets. Middle order props up Sri Lanka.
3.6 overs: Sharma to Paranavitana, OUT, Ishant Sharma nails Paranavitana. It was a length delivery in the zone outside off and Paranavitana went for the off drive away from his body. Mistake. The ball shaped away and took the edge.
NT Paranavitana c †Dhoni b Sharma 8 (17m 15b 2×4 0×6) SR: 53.33
Indian spinners fail to attack in pairs.
24.4 overs:Ojha to Dilshan, 1 no ball, OUT, Dilshan is run out It was pushed to the off, not all that far away from silly point where Vijay lunged out his left hand and stopped it. Dilshan is looking for a run, is now surprised that Vijay had stopped it and tries to turn back. Vijay flicks the ball to Dhoni who breaks the stumps with Dilshan’s bat in the air. Dilshan is gone at the stroke of lunch. Smart work from Vijay. Not so smart from Dilshan, who was batting so well. And it was a no ball.
TM Dilshan run out 41 (118m 70b 4×4 0×6) SR: 58.57
42.4 overs: Ojha to Sangakkara, OUT, Sanga has been caught at the boundary! There was a long-on in place and he still went for the big hit and is now enraged with himself as he storms off. He went down the track and lifted it straight to long-on! Sanga can’t believe what he has done.Earlier in this Test series, he mowed a long-hop straight to deep midwicket.
KC Sangakkara c Sehwag b Ojha 75 (173m 114b 5×4 2×6) SR: 65.78
72.6 overs: Ojha to DPMD Jayawardene, OUT, It landed on the middle stump line and straightened. Mahela pushed outside the line as he stretched forward to defend and was struck in front of the middle. Hawk eye shows that it would have bounced well over the middle stump.
DPMD Jayawardene lbw b Ojha 56 (188m 154b 3×4 0×6) SR: 36.36
PP Ojha took 2 wickets and I Sharma took one wicket. Indian spinners fail to attack in pairs.
