00:00hello everyone and welcome to the highlights the silicon mobile cup match
00:25three from the West Indies in fact with beautiful Jamaica Sabina Park in fact
00:31in Kingston big match India versus Sri Lanka to say yeah West Indies have got off
00:36to a bit of a flyer these two sides are desperate for a win pitch well a little
00:40bit of sheen about it but it's the third time it's being used match three it's
00:44the same one as game one and two and a few little patches on there see where the
00:49white ball has landed now Virat Kohli he tossed the coin and he ended up winning
00:53the toss and India wanted to bowl first so that's what's happening in the toss Sri Lanka
01:00now that a couple of changes the two Mendes's were out Koshil Janath came in
01:04and Senanayake you'll notice there so a couple of changes for the Sri Lankans
01:09and down to the side and missing Dilshan of course with that calf injury he
01:14sustained at the Champions Trophy so good lineup good balance some all-rounders
01:19there and some very good quick bowling there as well from Malinga and Kulit Sekhar
01:26India of course as I say there they won the toss and they decided to bowl first
01:31and the Indians of course they're minus their captain you see there
01:35Virat Kohli with a little C alongside his name so Dhoni out in came really Vijay
01:39and Bhubanishwa Kumar he came out of the side and placed Shami Ahmed you'll see
01:44there a specialist bowler young man making his way in this Indian side getting an
01:50opportunity once again all righty let's join our commentators first up we've got
01:56Arun Lal and we've got Tony Casey
02:00so ready for game three a very important match for both teams both teams having
02:06last their early match to the West Indies
02:19Arun Lal and Jaewodna opening the batting as they did against the West Indies in the
02:25match which they lost
02:36it's a new player in the Indian team
02:39Shami Ahmed
02:41well here's his first ball
02:49a good one too
02:54the language searching for it gets a fortuitous run
02:58down to fine leg
03:00as you've been hearing it's
03:02uh overcast this morning and we had quite a bit of rain last night
03:16chopped away really well timed and goes for four skids along the
03:21well I would say probably skinny outfield because of a little bit of moisture
03:27oh that's fantastic he really hit it beautifully got on top of it timed it
03:39placed it four runs from the time they left the bat
03:43he's particularly strong in that area just weights he's always trying to make
03:47room for himself outside the off stamp and he connects it so beautifully just cracked it
03:52it's like a whiplash ball just sped away
03:59that's a good job right on the red and placed it quite deliberately well over the
04:08field up mid on down to the boundary didn't tell land that far inside the
04:12boundary Jaewodna gets about before what a shot that is
04:18you get an opportunity you gotta pounce on it slow outfield rupul taranga gets enough
04:33there we go
04:43Murali Vijay put it down
04:48Murali Vijay put it down
04:51Murali Vijay put it down
04:52So that could have been almost uh
04:54similar detrimental effect after a good opening partnership
04:57the ship. He's hit that hard. Went straight to Murali Vijay who is in a great position.
05:06It's just that he couldn't judge the pace of Jawadana's bat.
05:11What a costly lapse that was and how Mahila would make them pay for it later. India had
05:16been guilty of letting off Sri Lanka's most dependable batsmen. Their most elegant one
05:21as well, this shot was well out of character for him. As was Team India's fielding by the
05:26way. For a side that had tried it itself on being the best fielding side in the ICC Champions
05:31Trophy before this, it was decidedly flat. Mahila's opening partner Taranga got a life as well
05:36and the two made the most of their good fortune, punishing India for their profligacy.
05:46That will be through. No stopping that one. Picked his spot nicely, Taranga. Executed well.
05:55He's really good at this shot. He just waits for this. This is one of his strengths. Too
06:02much room on that occasion. Even though when the ball is coming into him, it's slow off the
06:08bounce. So much room. But to his credit, he played it late to find that gap in third man.
06:14That's well hit. Beautifully played over long on. What an amazing shot. This is the second time he's
06:26done it today. Moves into the line of the delivery. Takes the bowler by surprise. Getting a little
06:33predictable, Ishan Sharma. Not too many short deliveries coming his way. Standing outside the
06:38crease and then he gets into it. Gets under it and he plays it well. I think it's the balance
06:45and the stillness of the head which just stand out features for me. As far as Jaywardhan is concerned.
06:52Amongst a lot of other attributes. Didn't carry and has gone away for four. The fielder in a bit of a
07:11dilemma. Yadav. Should he go for that catch or not? It's a tough one to decide because it's flat. But he did try and
07:19put his body behind it and was caught in no man's land and obviously didn't meet with the approval of
07:23the captain.
07:32That's hit superbly. Cleared the man at shot. Third man. And another boundary to Mahila Jaywardena.
07:42What a shot this is. He gets under it. Gets. In fact, he may even hit it for six in the near future because
07:52that's how well he plays this. Gets under it. Hits it over. All he needs to do is beat that fielder close in
07:59who's that single saving fielder. And there's really no defense against this. What a shot.
08:11And just a little push over extra cover for the single that gets him to his 50. 71st time he's gone past 50 in
08:23one day internationals. 18th time against India which just emphasizes how many times these two teams
08:29have played against each other.
08:44Fine shot. Found the gap between short third man and backward point. And there wasn't much of a gap and he found it.
08:51So, Saranga ends the over with a boundary. 98, 99 with a loss after 21.
09:12That's a hundred raise now. So, an opening partnership of a hundred.
09:25Boundary of the last ball of the previous over went in the direction of Ishan Sharma.
09:31It speaks to the excellence so far of Jawadna and now Saranga who's brought up his 50 as well.
09:44In the second innings on returning to the Sri Lankan lineup. 29th in ODI cricket.
09:51In addition to 1200s.
09:52And that's a beautifully played shot. My goodness.
10:05Nashren is down there but he couldn't get across in time.
10:10I know Usain Bolt.
10:12Didn't have the pace and couldn't get around.
10:15Superb shot though.
10:19Wasn't a great deal of room for Jawadna here and this is where you see the sense of timing that so many.
10:29In particular the Asian batsmen are able to use the pace of a bowler.
10:38Beautifully picked up. One bounce for four.
10:40There's just so much class about this guy.
10:49He knows exactly where the fielders are.
10:52Knows exactly where the spots he wants to hit the ball in are.
10:56Not worried about the man at a good square leg.
11:03Because he was never aiming there.
11:11Loves it there.
11:13Outside the off stamp.
11:15Ukul Taranga does not miss out.
11:17He's been around for a while.
11:24So these are not going to get away.
11:26Wide half volley.
11:28Bang.
11:32Beautiful timing.
11:34First threw his hands at it.
11:36Not concerned about getting that front foot anywhere near the line.
11:40Just threw his hands through it.
11:42And away it went.
11:43No one in the deep.
11:52That will be four.
12:01Made an early move.
12:03Jawadna got settled.
12:05Gave himself the room.
12:07He knew exactly where he wanted to hit it.
12:09Brilliant shot.
12:23Got underneath it.
12:24There's no one in the deep.
12:29That's playing smart options.
12:30This is all about being aware.
12:38Just want to get underneath it.
12:41Doesn't matter if it doesn't go for six.
12:43There's no one down there.
12:44That's it.
12:53Goes down the ground.
12:54This is brilliant batting from Ukul Taranga.
12:57Fielder came into the circle.
12:59Ashwin did pause though.
13:01But did not put him off.
13:02So nine runs off.
13:03Four balls.
13:05Good start to the power play for Sri Lanka.
13:06This is good cricket.
13:07Went as straight as possible with him.
13:16Outstanding batting.
13:30Great awareness that the third man had come into a short third man position.
13:36So much of Jawadna's batting is about knowing where the gaps are.
13:40Also not very clever bowling.
13:41I'm sure you're aware of your field as well.
13:44You can hardly bowl a short one outside the off stump with no cover whatsoever on the offside.
13:50All the three players are on the onside.
13:55And then you bowl one short.
13:56Now take a look again at that leg of his.
13:59Here he delivers.
14:00Now look at the other leg.
14:01Where it's going.
14:02It's almost coming up from the other side.
14:03And if it has as though it has a mind of its own.
14:06It's going to come out from its socket from behind him.
14:18That's the area that I think that I mentioned that I think he'd be aiming for simply because there's a long off.
14:25But there's no one at long on.
14:27I mentioned that it was tough because you're going against the turn and he didn't middle it.
14:32But he hit it well enough.
14:34This is a very tough shot.
14:36Really very difficult.
14:37Just take a look.
14:38He split it against the turn.
14:39That's what Bishop was saying.
14:40Not the easiest shot.
14:43And especially to mid on.
14:44You might have a slog sweep.
14:46Which you have a greater percentage in success.
14:50But straight over mid on.
14:53Superb shot.
15:00Brilliant stuff.
15:02Deliberately hit up and over the man short in the square leg.
15:05And takes Jaa Warner to 99.
15:07What an innings this has been.
15:10It's been frustrating for the bowlers.
15:12Because he's manipulating the field at will.
15:15Now this is a slower delivery.
15:17But he's got every shot in the book and a few more.
15:21He's on the front foot.
15:22But he just doesn't commit.
15:24That's his greatest strength.
15:27He can pull off the front foot as well.
15:29Which he's done here.
15:30He's just transferred weight.
15:32He assesses length very quickly.
15:34Superb batting.
15:38Just one away from.
15:39What would be a wonderful hundred.
15:45That's it.
15:48Number 16 for Jaa Warner.
15:51Pump the fist.
15:53His life in the veteran yet.
15:55And the maiden is slightly difficult conditions.
15:57Having lost a toss and being asked to back first.
16:03Few supporters that I hear are overjoyed.
16:05Because this is an important game for both.
16:08Could remind you that both teams have lost a game apiece.
16:14Just the way he's played.
16:15He's just been in control and in command in fact.
16:18Got his hundred in just a hundred and seven deliveries.
16:31Should be out.
16:33Is out.
16:34Oh dropped it.
16:35Well.
16:37He had it.
16:38For such a long time.
16:40Almost in the fingertips really.
16:43And never.
16:44Had control of it.
16:45And in the very last moment.
16:47On hitting the ground.
16:49It eluded his grasp.
16:532-4 without loss.
16:54Nice shot.
17:07Beautiful shot in fact.
17:09Sweet.
17:15Gosh.
17:16He's getting better.
17:19Unbelievable.
17:20And that's an off spin.
17:21That's against the turn.
17:22But look at the amount of.
17:25Space he's made for himself.
17:27Gets into the position.
17:28And what's good about him is.
17:30Gets into a position a lot earlier.
17:32Than most others.
17:34Gets to where he wants to be.
17:36Then he has that fraction of a second to execute.
17:39The batting power play only compounded India's misery.
17:43Maila and Taranga had full license to express themselves there.
17:47And they brought up Sri Lanka's highest opening partnership.
17:49Versus India in ODIs.
17:5247 runs came from the crucial five over chunk.
17:55As the left hand right hand combination.
17:57Motored along at over nine and over.
17:59And some uninspired bowling.
18:01Lethargic fielding and dropped catches.
18:03Certainly weren't helping the Indian scores either.
18:05Boundaries and sixes came all around the dial.
18:08As the Indian leather flingers.
18:10Began to look all but clueless.
18:12But just when it seemed as though their shoulders.
18:13Would begin to drop.
18:15And as though they had resigned themselves.
18:17To chasing a total of more than 300.
18:19The men in the lighter shade of blue.
18:22Were given some breathing space.
18:24Much against the run of play.
18:26This time surely.
18:28Taken.
18:30Similar shot.
18:32That was put down by Murali Vijay.
18:35When a job Warner was only 25.
18:37Earlier this morning.
18:39Is held by Umish Yadav.
18:40Didn't quite get hold of it.
18:54Didn't come off as quickly as he.
18:56Wanted it to.
18:58Not enough pace to play that shot.
19:00And Umish Yadav.
19:01This time does not.
19:03Make a mistake.
19:04So.
19:05What a fantastic innings this man has played.
19:07107 of 112.
19:08Taken Sri Lanka to.
19:10A magnificent position.
19:12213 for one.
19:25This has got him a lot of runs as well.
19:27This shot and he favors it.
19:29He is confident with it.
19:31Got away once playing this shot.
19:33When Vijay dropped him.
19:34But Yadav this time.
19:36Did not make a mistake.
19:37And that was.
19:38An important breakthrough.
19:39With a short fine leg.
19:40It is just.
19:41Clipped away.
19:43For four.
19:44And it takes.
19:45Taranga to 99.
19:46Really not clever at all.
19:47That's just the area that he didn't need to bowl.
19:48Especially with Taranga on 95.
19:49This is a just.
19:50Easy put away for him.
19:51Takes him to 99.
19:52And you wanted him to struggle to get there.
19:53The longer he stayed there.
19:54The better for India.
19:55And this was.
19:56Pretty thoughtless.
19:57You've also got to be thinking very hard.
19:58Where you want to be bowling it.
20:00100.
20:01100.
20:02For.
20:03Upal Taranga.

20:20You wanted to be bowling.
20:21Right.
20:22A bro.
20:23For India.
20:24This was.
20:25Pretty thoughtless.
20:26You've also got.
20:27To be thinking very hard.
20:28Where.
20:29You want to be bowling it.
20:31100.
20:32For.
20:33Upal Taranga.
20:34You've also got.
20:35To be thinking very hard.
20:36Where you want to be bowling it.
20:37100.
20:38For upal Taranga.
20:39Only a second innings.
20:40Back four.
20:41Sri Lanka.
20:42After he was left out of the team.
20:43And.
20:44This is certainly.
20:45A more commanding knock.
20:46hundred for Thuranga so he's he's been prolific
21:03well he's in showing his entire range now this is a pretty classical stuff now
21:10from Thuranga finding the gap and managing to eat out boundaries at will
21:23that's more like it flat and six magnificent strike from Angelou
21:28Matthews this is the kind of punch that is required 50 partnership is raised as
21:33well 51 from 27 balls and well it appears as if Matthews is now on the move here
21:40lovely strike
21:50will it be taken Nishant Sharma can't do anything about it it's another massive
21:55strike this time from Opul Thuranga it's a six
22:01oh a lovely shot give himself room and hammer it through the offside there's no
22:06one out there
22:10well that's a magnificent shot because your footwork had to be good making room
22:15and playing it against the spin
22:16Ashwin from around the wicket trying to angle it across the right-handers off
22:21and look at the massive result that Matthews got wonderful strike great to
22:26watch
22:35raises the three hundred
22:36find the way down to the boundary another four for give angler
22:52wrong length from Mishant Sharma
22:55can bowl uh
22:57short of good length a man who settled is looking to attack you an easy shot over mid
23:01it for Rupul Thuranga what a knock it's turning out to be now knocking out India
23:08out of this game
23:15another piece of miss fielding Indians really sloppy here what should have been
23:22one turned into two hundred and fifty four up out to run for exactly a hundred and fifty
23:31balls four runs well low full toss and not much room between long on and
23:44straightish mid wicket he found it under partnership between these two now the
23:48second hundred punch with the innings
23:59if India had thought my last week it would bring them some respite they were in
24:03for a good shot Angela Matthews made sure the momentum wouldn't flag as he proved to
24:07be the perfect point for the dampened that under hundred and eighty runs would
24:12come off the last sixteen overs of the innings that is in the fourth batting
24:16power play period with the lankan skipper in imperious form and with taranga
24:20batting as though it was a next session the emerald islanders stayed well on
24:24course to force an intimidating score somewhere in the region of the
24:28psychological 350 run mark
24:35where's that gone it's gone for six my goodness no
24:40that's remarkable absolutely remarkable all you could gather over there for six
24:45well I suppose he's been there that long that he can do it it's an amazing shot
24:52have a look at him go squares to a low full toss for six it's a flat one over point
24:58just showing his natural talent and ability now who put the Ranga
25:03covering the ball bowling and is gone over cover that's a tremendous right 335 for one with an over to go
25:17unbelievable shot unbelievable batting from opul taranga
25:29he's played some magic shots and well we just gotta be out there to admire what we're seeing a full toss high full toss not an easy ball to hit for a six and it went a mile
25:44fastball
25:51might as well come for a second
25:56and they do there's an appeal for a run out
26:00all depends whether they reach 350 or 349 as to whether this is out or not
26:10I think he's fine stretched himself back into the crease
26:17and upul taranga should be given or shown a green light
26:21is he on his bike or is he not out
26:25cycle pure agarbatti third umpire's decision and it's a not out and it's a good one
26:32it's a good one
26:33it's a good one
26:34it's a good one
26:35it's a good one
26:37sri lanka what a wonderful total 348 for one that's right just the one wicked to go and that was mahala jay wardner for 107
26:44off 112 44 not our angelo matthews the skipper but look at that 174 from 159 deliveries
26:51upul taranga quite an extraordinary innings
26:53bowlers well they went around the track no surprises there
26:56young shami ahmed and yadov and shama all disappeared even jadeja ashwin the only wicket taker they won for 67
27:03coley had a bowl so did rainer and they couldn't get any wickets extras 23 off those 50 overs
27:12it's a wonderful effort there from sri lanka look at that 348 for one
27:18and their 50 overs in this third match of the silicon mobile cup
27:24looking a very very useful performance by sri lanka
27:30349 runs to win of 50 overs constitutes and run rate of almost seven and over
27:36look at that 6.98 runs per over
27:39taking a short break here when we come back it will be the India run chase
27:43Shekadawan and Rohit Sharma make their way out to the middle for India
27:49Nuan Kulasekara will start off things for sri lanka with the ball
27:56I suppose if Rohit Sharma needed an example I'm not saying that he does but if he needs an example of how to give the innings a start and continue he just has to look at the opposition and what they did to opening batsmen
28:09he's a fantastic player Rohit Sharma batted so often in the middle of the innings and that may
28:15I suppose explain a little bit of why he hasn't converted more of his 50s to 100s but at the top of the innings now where he's been batting since the champions trophy great opportunity and he's been getting starts too that's why India have been dominant
28:30he'll be feeling a little bit of pressure though because he's not going to convert those goals into big ones but this man
28:36well all he does is go after 100 Shekadawan batted twice before here at the Sabina Park and on both occasions he's got himself out for 11
28:45classy shot not an easy shot to play because that was hit on the up
28:57just leaning into it Shekadawan's first boundary
29:06got him
29:11well he had to break free the ball was hitting the bottom of his bat Roy Sharma
29:18just not finding the timing but finding Matthews who hangs on to a sharp one at short mid wicket
29:24it is a very good catch
29:29because it's on that length it's not a half volley
29:34and the angle or movement from the bowler is coming in slightly it's taken the inner half of the bat
29:41and gone quickly to Matthews that's a very good position
29:44in the field 12 for one
29:47Marily Vijay is the new batsman replacing Rohit Sharma
29:54by trade and opening batsman so
29:57you don't want am I supposed to sink too far in the batting order
30:01slightly short you can't afford that at Kulesikra's pace
30:11one or two commentators behind I've been begging for intent and aggression
30:18I'm on showing now that feels that he's assessed conditions
30:29into the seventh over
30:33asking for it length was full enough and wide enough allowing Dahman to throw his hands at it
30:45and get the desired result
30:49very good batting
30:52no attempt to get those feet near the ball
30:56it's all about getting your base right
30:59which will then give you the opportunity to throw your hands at it
31:03that is very well played and I'll run away
31:14that's more like it that's innovative
31:20that's delicately done
31:22use the pace of the delivery
31:25he saw it maybe pitching outside leg
31:28but he paddled it soft paddled it to find the finer fence
31:34that is brilliant
31:39that's what we know of Murali Vijay
31:42superb use of the feet gets to the pitch of it
31:46and fetches himself a boundary
31:50the second one in this over
31:52well this is more like it
31:54gets down the track
31:57and was never in any doubt as to where he wanted to hit that
32:04that's in the air but there's a fielder right under it camping under it
32:11Opal Taranga has no problems whatsoever
32:17simplest of takes
32:19and she could have an
32:21makes the long walk back
32:24and it's got quite a bit of bat on this
32:30but just picked out
32:32the wrong area straight to Taranga
32:35he's hitting into the wind as well
32:38which is probably not a really a great idea
32:42but he goes for 24
32:44and India 52 for 2
32:47well India find themselves in a predicament
32:54Virat Kohli is walking in
32:56he's been prolific in his ODI career
32:59and more specifically against Sri Lanka

33:28took the spinner off
33:30he surprised Kohli
33:32Matthew's pace
33:34you wouldn't expect him to be bowling those short ones
33:37a rare failure for Virat Kohli gone for 2
33:41India are 57 for 3
33:43Dinesh Karthik comes in now
33:48last 2 wickets falling to deep catches
33:52where the fielder
33:53really didn't have to move
33:54the ball came directly to him
33:56just had to wait for it
33:58cup his hands
33:59shut his eyes and take the catch
34:00beautifully bowled
34:05typical Malenga

34:12you're not the only one
34:13who has ever been
34:14bowled by a Malenga Yorker

34:45left-hander comes in now
34:47Suresh Rainer
34:50with India
34:51now you can see
34:53they're really in
34:54a heap of trouble
34:5665 for 4
34:58big big total
35:00stirring them down
35:02starts
35:12Gets it wrong, looking for the
35:15orca
35:16it's a good player Dinesh Karthik
35:19Looking for the Yorker again. In fact, he's holding at the far end. He's bowling from the Courtney Walsh end. And he would have had a few stumps in this ground as well.
35:41Difficult delivery for Kumar Sangakkara. It'll be a wide, so five wides added to the total.
35:49Nice shot. Glorious shot. See, you can sit and wait on it because you know he's going to be full all the time. And you still get a boundary.
36:08I think they're expecting these full length deliveries. Someone like a Suresh Reiner as well. So I just want to give them something to think about that might be coming. And then my pitch up delivery has great effect.
36:21Whipped away quite nicely. Just a little fuller than Malinga would have hoped. And that's very well played by Kartik.
36:42Yes, he was quick to pick up on that full toss. We saw it had a little bit of shape back into him. But he was down the wicket. Trying to turn the Yorker into a full toss. And successful this time.
37:08Oh, it could be wides. Five of them.
37:23One shot comes up as well for India. But it's taken him 25 overs and a touch more.
37:41Found the gap nicely. And it runs away for four.
37:53Making good use of some width here, Suresh Reiner.
38:09Suresh Reiner.
38:23Mammoth task ahead of India.
38:27Sananaika will continue.
38:31Again, that's played a win nicely by Suresh Reiner.
38:35Cotsenanaika for four in his previous over.
38:39And now he picks up one with a deft touch final. Well, here's a smiling Russell Arnold with Ramiz Raja.
38:45I'm also smiling, Bish. I'm always smiling, he says.
38:53That's a delectable shot. He's so good in that area. Times the ball beautifully.
38:59Seems to have the same kind of spirit as Michael Hussey, Suresh Reiner. They both play for the same side, the IPL.
39:13Always positive. Always looking for runs. Runs beautifully between the wickets.
39:17Is an ace in the outfield, in the field, anywhere.
39:21You give him a task, he'll do it for you. A real team player. 50 partnership.
39:31Gone. Stumped. Is he? Yes. Given out by the leg umpire.
39:35So, coming out of his crease and trying to sweep the ball, not a good option from Karthik.
39:41But he was looking uneasy. 22 from 40 balls. Never in. Never settled. Never got going.
39:47Not the easiest of pitches. It's that Karam ball. Got too close to it, Dinesh Karthik.
39:54In the end, ended up yawking himself.
39:59Yarat gets his second. It was a struggle for Karthik. 22 to him. India, 118 for five.
40:08Half their side gone just past the halfway mark. And an asking rate nudging its way above ten and over.
40:21To say India were looking down the barrel would be to put it mildly.
40:25At that stage, it looked just too tall an order, even for the much-wanted world champions and world's number one ODI team.
40:31The chase had never really gone anywhere right from ball one.
40:35In fact, the trials, tribulations and travails of the Indian batsmen only put Mahila and Taranga's efforts in perspective.
40:42Those two had been brilliant on a tough pitch. Quite unlike their batting counterparts from India.
40:47On that note, it's time for us to take a short break. On the other side, we'll tell you whether or not India managed to pull off the seemingly impossible.
40:54So do stay tuned.
41:24It took a very long time to get the ball away. Four dots, followed by a four.
41:32I've seen a few good shots in between. This is just one of them. The batsmen leaning into it.
41:40It's pure timing, letting the ball come on to him.
41:43Beautifully driven through the offside.
41:55Magic drive from Suresh Rana. He looked so good.
42:02Classy shot.
42:04No one in the deep on the offside.
42:06And he was eyeing that boundary, but ended up playing a stylish drive.
42:16Down on one knee.
42:27Russell.
42:29Oh, that's overthrows.
42:32Nobody covering that throw from Lasset Malinga.
42:36Throw his ass.
42:38Angelo Matthews in.
42:39He's broken the stumps as he got the man as well.
42:43Angelo Matthews has appealed for it.
42:50He may get a rough deal here. Suresh Rana is the man who's dived full length.
42:53It'll be such an unreasonable, nasty way to leave the crease because he did everything right except that the bat was not grounded.
43:03In the first game we saw Dinesh Karthik put in a big dive and he was brilliant with the entire dive because the bat was not raised from the floor.
43:15The bat is in the air. He's looking at the big screen. Will he be on his bike? Or will he survive the scare?
43:24We hear it's going to be out. Red light. OUT is gone. He's out of here. Gets a rough deal. Tried extremely hard. Great athleticism shown, but in the end, the decision was made and I think it was the correct decision.
43:42So unfortunate. Got a brilliant dive out, but the bat unfortunately bounced. 33 to Suresh Rana, India. Now 142 for 6.
43:59Joel Wilson is about to signal the start of the batting power play.
44:03Easily taken into his lap. Reverse sweep. Malingo waits for the catch. And another wicket goes. So 7 down now. And the end coming pretty quickly.
44:24Well, reverse sweep. Always taking a chance. Some people play it better than others. And Ashwin perishes this time.
44:35And just four runs. India now 153 for 7.
44:40So another wicket for Sri Lanka.
44:50India 153 for 7. Now look at that. Target is 349. Tremendous innings from Sri Lanka.
44:58Having lost the first match comprehensively to the West Indies, they've come back really strong.
45:02348 for 1 now. 50 overs. Both opening batsmen scoring hundreds.
45:09Paranga, the left-hander not at 174. Jaiwadna 107.
45:21And that's skidded on. Finish him off. First ball.
45:24First ball. Shami Ahmed goes first ball 8 down now.
45:31No, it's not pretty. This is a very, very ugly performance from India.
45:38Straight delivery.
45:40Just goes straight through. Skids on.
45:44Shami plays right across it.
45:47And away goes stumps. Just face the one ball. That's all it took. India 153 now for 8.
45:58Karath is back on. And there is Jadeja.
46:03Well, injecting some life into what had been a lifeless game.
46:06So, 6 to Jadeja. A little bit of life and the Indian supporters can wave their flags for once.
46:25Amazing. I think he's got another.
46:28Really magnificent performance by Sri Lanka from all quarters.
46:35Yet another wicket and this time Herat has got 3 now.
46:39Spun 2. Good catch by Sangakkara.
46:43Because it's spun plus taking a finish outside edge.
46:47So, there was a fair amount of deviation after pitching.
46:50And all 5 foot 2 inches. Avian Ghul sticks the hand in there to send Shama on his way for 2.
46:571, 6, 6 for 9.
47:03Take a look at that for a shot.
47:05How about that? That is creative.
47:09That's audacious.
47:11It was smart batting because based on the feel set that way I talked about last over.
47:16He knows generally the line of Kulasekar is going to be outside the off stump based on the strength of the field.
47:29That is the end.
47:31Full, straight and too much for Umish Yadev.
47:36What a fantastic victory by 161 runs for Sri Lanka.
47:40Magnificent Mahila.
47:44And yep, the Indian fans feel it's just one bad day.
47:51But a lot of credit to Mahila Jawardena and Upal Taranga.
47:5624 to Darwin, it was a slow start after Roed Sharma went early.
48:08Early Vijay, well he struggled to get going.
48:12And when he finally found some fluency, he departed shortly after.
48:15Finished Karthik.
48:17Tried his best and he too was slow until he tried to hoik Herath out the ground.
48:21It was Juveja who top scored with 49.
48:25Got some assistance from Surish Reiner who scored at a brisk tempo of a runner ball.
48:30But all in all, it was just too much for them to do.
48:33They needed a quick fire start and they couldn't get that.
48:36Because Sri Lanka were excellent at the start of their innings as well with the ball.
48:41Matthews, brilliant.
48:42One for 23.
48:43They don't quite reflect how well he bowled.
48:45Very economical.
48:46Hulusikara won for 37.
48:48Did his job.
48:50And then the spinners came in in the middle.
48:532 and 3.
48:54Sinanayika and Herath.
48:56And Malinga did his job as well.
49:01So points to Sri Lanka by virtue of winning this match by 161 runs.
49:08Well no prizes for guessing who the man of the match was over there.
49:16It was of course Upul Taranga for his magnificent unbeaten 174.
49:21His highest ODI score.
49:25Well that's all we've got time for the highlights.
49:26Hope you've enjoyed them.
49:27Until next time from all of us, it's goodbye.
49:29It's goodbye.
