    24.5 ah, the irony! He gets a lot more bat on this. Actually surprisingly good connection, with the shot being somewhere between a pull and a flick. The problem though is, with the better contact, the short ball goes squarer and finds the man on the boundary at long leg. Sri Lanka sigh in relief. India groan, "oh, 200 denied" 138/1

    44.1 taken. End of Dhawan's quality for now. A slow, wide delivery outside off. Dhawan wants to hit the short leg side boundary but it's far too wide outside off to do that. He gets enough behind it but not great timing and his weary body lets him down. Goes straight down long-on's throat. Superb innings from Dhawan, he'll agree it's right up there. These weren't easy conditions and he hardly played a false shot. 261/4

    25.5 he's got him! Pradeep, you beauty, baiting Kohli outside off, and nabbing him easily. The shot is risky, with a slip in, but the batsman goes for the glide to third man anyway. A touch of seam movement away, but more importantly a little extra bounce, undoes him. 139/2

    33.3 bowled. Chopped on. Unfortunate. But that's how it goes. A yorker outside off, Yuvraj gets his high back lift down just in time to jam that yorker out. But with the momentum of Yuvraj not having got to the ball in time, the ball goes backwards. Just clips the top of off and middle. Yuvraj is distraught and SL strike. Crucial wicket. Will stop the attack for now 179/3

    49.2 taken on the boundary. Full and wide again from Perera, slightly predictable, but it isn't quite in Dhoni's swinging arc. He has to manufacture his own power and does, but doesn't get good timing. Skews off the outside half and lands in long-off's hands. Important runs saved these could be 307/6

    45.4 gone! That's the longer boundary. Full and wide from Lakmal. Well bowled. Bowling to his field. Pandya wanted to go more over cover and the ball skews off the outside half and lobs towards the sweeper cover who comes in and completes a routine catch. Good comeback by Lakmal after the previous ball 278/5

    4.4 he finds success with it as well! I'm half certain this is a knuckle ball. Either way, it was a slightly slower ball, induces a false shot. Dickwella, nervous, jittery, not-sure-if-he-should-hang-in-there-or-hit-out Dickwella goes for a whip across the line and gets a leading edge that is pouched at point 11/1

    27.5 that was so unnecessary and Gunathilaka is gone I think. Yup, just in the air and India have a wicket courtesy a run-out. A completely unnecessary second run and India have a way back. Worked to backward square leg and Gunathilaka calls for the second. Dhoni picks the throw on the bounce from Umesh yadav and just about takes the bails off in time. A full-length dive can't save Gunathilaka. The ball came out of his glove just after he took off the bails. Lucky for India, but their good fielding has done it again. Happened to Sri Lanka against SA too. 170/2

    32.4 and that's Mendis run-out too. So many run-outs against South Africa changed that game. And two more here. That's an awful call. Pushed towards short mid-on. Bhuvneshwar is quick on the ball, picks up and swivels into a throw to release early, unaware that he had plenty of time. Maybe that helped because it was bang on target at the striker's end. Mendis dives, but he may as well run all the way off. End of a superlative knock but India back on top again 196/3
