FULL SCORECARD

	Sri Lanka 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	TM Dilshan	c Dravid b Khan	112	203	133	12	0	84.21
	43.1 and it does! Zaheer drops short, Dilshan takes on the bouncer but it hurries onto him and comes off the shoulder of the bat, goes up high in the and settles in Dravid's palms as he calls for it and takes it jogging in from gully 189/2
	NT Paranavitana	c †Dhoni b Sharma	35	81	55	6	0	63.63
	16.5 great catch! Dhoni it is, who flings himself to his left and plucks an outer edge with one hand in front of first slip, as Paranavitana is forced to play at one that angles across, that's a good delivery from Ishant after a few ordinary ones, it pitches on about middle and off and goes across and forces the batsman to feel for it 74/1
	KC Sangakkara*	c Tendulkar b Khan	31	133	85	3	0	36.47
	45.3 gone, another one to Zaheer! Zaheer uses the bouncer again, its hurries onto Sangakkara as well who makes an utter mess of the hook shot and the top edge is taken by Tendulkar just at the edge of the boundary at fine leg 194/3
	DPMD Jayawardene	b Mishra	275		435	27	1	63.21
	193.5 WICKET! finally for India! Mahela skips down the track to a flighted delivery and tries to loft inside out over cover, he misses and gets bowled, he goes after a fantastic innings, and fittingly after breaking the record for the sixth wicket partnership 726/6
	TT Samaraweera	c Yuvraj Singh b Sharma	70	166	145	9	0	48.27
	86.4 good reflexes from the best catcher in the team - Yuvraj Singh, Ishant drops it short and the batsman pulls and the ball appears as if it's headed heavenward, Yuvraj at short square leg leaps up, cups it and tumbles down on the turf and throws it up in the air, Samaraweera's gone and the relief is palpable in the Indian camp 332/4
	AD Mathews	c Gambhir b Harbhajan Singh	17	44	34	1	1	50.00
	96.2 some relief for India at the stroke of lunch, Harbhajan tosses it up on middle, Mathews chips down the track and tries to clip that to the on side, the ball catches the top flap of the pad and Gambhir takes it one-handed at forward short leg, was there some bat on it? Harper and the rest thought so. I need to see another replay of that 375/5
	HAPW Jayawardene†	not out	154		314	11	0	49.04
	KTGD Prasad	c Mishra b Harbhajan Singh	21		35	2	0	60.00
	202.4 caught at deep midwicket and Sangakkara calls his batsmen in!! Prasad lofts the ball from middle stump but holes out to Mishra 760/7
	Extras	(b 5, lb 16, w 4, nb 20)	45
	Total	(7 wickets dec; 202.4 overs)	760	(3.75 runs per over)
