Welegedera takes out Sehwag. Quite similar delivery but he didn't leave
this one alone. He went for the flashy cut, was cramped up for room and
edged it behind. Sanga flew to his right to pouch a very good catch.
The Big fish has been caught. 4/1

Mendis gets SRT stumped. It was the loopy two-fingered googly, turns in
from a short of length and outside off. Tendulkar was down the track
and went for the big heave-ho over the infield but wafted inside the
line. Done in by the shortening of the length and by the fact that this
one didn't break back in as much as a regular googly. He couldn't
adjust quickly enough after he failed to reach the pitch of the ball. 81/3

4.1 from Welegedara, Gambhir is run out
Gambhir isn't too happy as he had collided with the bowler. But the
bowler didn't do it deliberately. He was backing up, back pedaling away
from the stumps, and Gambhir tried to go around him but bang.. clash
and he couldn't get into the crease in time. The mid-on fielder fired
in a direct hit. It was refered upstairs and the correct verdict has
been given. 19/2

was struck in line with the stumps. Hawk eye says it would have hit the

Harbhajan strikes. He lures Tharanga forward with a flighted delivery
on a good length, from round the stumps; it dips and turns away from
Tharanga who was looking to tap it across the line. Sehwag lunges to

Clatter. A fine yorker ends a very fine innings. It was on the middle
stump line, Dilshan tries to jab it away to the point region but no
wood on leather. He has taken SL close but Nehra has taken him out to
make things more interesting. 213/3

What a mess. Indians celebrate. It was pushed to left of cover and
Dilshan did take couple of steps that encouraged Sanga to rush down the
track. DIlshan changed his mind. Too late, though. Raina lobbed the
ball to Zak who breaks the stumps. 147/2

Big wicket. Mahela walks after edging. The game is hurting towards a
thrilling climax. It was a length delivery in the channel, Mahela goes
for the off drive but feathers a thin edge. Dhoni catches the ball and
throws it high in the air, Mahela walks and Zaheer keeps appealing till
some one tells him that the batsman has already walked 232/4

Direct hit from Harbhajan. Randiv moved outside leg stump to punch to
mid-off where Harbhajan rushed forward to fire a direct hit at the non
