Fall of Sri Lankan wickets :

1-31 (Sanath Jayasuriya, 5.5 ovs) : Jayasuriya gets dismissed by the lack of pace and bounce in the Jaipur wicket. But having said that Ajit Agarkar truly deserved this wicket, he has been after Jayasuriya for the last few deliveries, he had a big lbw shout turned down but this time his persistence pays off and the danger man is out. That ball from Agarkar was slightly wider and got Jayasuriya to go for the cut shot only to see his inside edge crashes onto his stumps, Agarkar gets really excited now.

2-77 (Marvan Atapattu, 20.1 ovs) : Jai Prakash Yadav forced Atapattu to nick his outswinger and Dhoni who is standing infront of the stumps holds onto that sharp chance.

3-228 (Mahela Jayawardene, 43.4 ovs) : We are into the slog overs now and both batsmen have started to throw their bats around to take Lanka to a huge total. But but Agarkar provides the brakes to the momentum as he had Jayawardene skying his delivery straight to Sehwag at thirdman. Well bowled by Agarkar as he didn't give the right length for Mahela to get under the ball.

4-240 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 45.4 ovs) : Dilshan misses to make any contact with his bat and gets hit in front of the stumps on his attempted sweep shot of the bowling of Sehwag. The umpire has no hesitation in ruling the batsman out lbw.
 

Fall of Indian wickets :

1-7 (Sachin Tendulkar, 0.5 ovs) : Tendulkar goes for a wild drive to a ball that could have been called as a wide had it been left alone. But Sachin pays the penalty of chasing that wide away swinger from Vaas and a fantastic catch behind the stumps from the century maker Sangakkara!

2-99 (Virender Sehwag, 14.5 ovs) : Sehwag goes for the big slog sweep against Muralitharan but Murali gets the ball to straighten. That beats the intentions of Sehwag and the batsman finds himself struck in front of the stumps.

3-185 (Rahul Dravid, 27.2 ovs) : Dravid gets out to a soft dismissal as he gets deceived in the air and pats it straight to the bowler. Murali strikes again for Sri Lanka but t might be too late as India are coasting home at this stage.

4-250 (Yuvraj Singh, 36.4 ovs) : Dilshan outsmarts Yuvraj with his off breaks as the left hander plays along the wrong line and Dilshan gets the ball to turn just enough to go past the bat and castle the stumps.
