Over 1.6 U Yadav bowls a back of length delivery to DA Warner, CAUGHT, smart low catch from Shikhar Dhawan at third slip and Warner is gone for a duck. 140 kmph. Replays show that Warner was squared up on the backfoot in his defensive shot with the ball seeming to be angling in but leaving him late to force a thick edge. |

Over 36.2 Shami Ahmed bowls a pitched up delivery to CJL Rogers, CAUGHT BEHIND, after nearly getting run out in the previous ball, Rogers seems to have lost his concentration as he walked into this cover drive and could only get a nick behind to a delivery that swung away ever so slightly. No footwork from Rogers this time, he was on the move in this tentative drive of his. 138 kmph |

Over 37.2 R Ashwin bowls a tossed up delivery to SR Watson, OUT LBW, Watson bends across for a sweep, misses it to get hit low on the pad and up goes the finger of the Sri Lankan Umpire Kumar Dharmasena. I was surprised to see that an Umpire has given an lbw in this series to the Indians but replays show that Watson was struck on the pad in line of off, so not a bad decision at all! |

Over 60.6 Shami Ahmed bowls a good length delivery to SE Marsh, CAUGHT BEHIND, Marsh wants to get going and selects the wrong length for a cut shot and can only flash it off the edge into the safe hands of MS Dhoni! |
|
Over 70.5 U Yadav bowls a back of length delivery to Joe Burns, CAUGHT BEHIND, Burns swivels back for a forcing pull shot, the length is not short enough and the ball hurries through to take the under edge to the keeper. |
|
Over 100.6 Shami Ahmed bowls it short of length to BJ Haddin, CAUGHT BEHIND, I thought nothing happened here as Haddin was looking to leave this outside off, but no he has got a faint bottom edge while lifting his bat late and a low catch is taken by MSD. |

Over 111.4 R Ashwin bowls a tossed up delivery to MG Johnson, STUMPED OUT, Johnson steps out for a big hit and is beaten in the flight, the ball goes straight on with a bit of bounce around middle and MSD collects the ball to stump him out by miles. |
|
Over 135.4 R Ashwin bowls it flat in the air to RJ Harris, OUT LBW, Harris bends down for a sweep which he fails to connect and gets hit on the pad by a fullish straighter one to have him out lbw. |
|
Over 141.6 Shami Ahmed bowls a pitched up delivery to Nathan Lyon, BOWLED HIM, Lyon goes for a big shot and fails to connect while the ball slips through to hit the leg stump. |
|
Over 142.3 U Yadav bowls a good length delivery to SPD Smith, CLEAN BOWLED, Smith walks across predetermining a paddle sweep and gets clean bowled round his legs by a slower one which strikes middle. That should be Tea I guess on Day 2. |
