| 5.5 | Ashwin to Dilshan, out Caught by Kohli!! Ashwin slips in a carrom-ball and gets a wicket. Nicely tossed up, the ball pitched outside leg and turned a bit, Dilshan went for that risky slog-sweep, got a top edge, for a while it looked like it would clear the fence, but the man at deep square leg did well to run to his right and grab the ball just before the fence!

| 4.4 | Bhuvneshwar to M Jayawardene, FOUR, the top edge now but it has gone straight back over Dhoni's head. Short of a length delivery on the off stump, Jayawardene walks across the sticks and tries to paddle it away, anyway he got the boundary that wanted |
| 4.3 | Bhuvneshwar to M Jayawardene, FOUR, you can have two men for the guide Dhoni, but Jayawardene has wonderfully just opened the face of the bat at the last moment and beat both. Waits for the ball and sends it very fine past Dhoni and the fielder could no nothing about it |

| 3.5 | Mohit Sharma to Dilshan, 1 run, stands tall and guides the short of length delivery to cover-point, looks at his partner and sets off |
| 3.4 | Mohit Sharma to Dilshan, FOUR, inside edge escapes past the sticks! Sri Lanka wouldn't mind them. Good length delivery just outside off stump, Dilshan tries to force it off the back foot even though he was cramped for room, in the end he gets lucky with the edge as fine leg was inside the ring |
| 3.3 | Mohit Sharma to Dilshan, FOUR, short again from Mohit, Dilshan rocks back, swivels and goes for the pull, didn't get the timing all that right but it has enough to get to the deep mid-wicket fence |
| 3.2 | Mohit Sharma to M Jayawardene, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Jayawardene steers it along the ground to third man |
| 3.1 | Mohit Sharma to M Jayawardene, FOUR, banged in short, but Mohit Sharma's pace is not good enough to trouble Jayawardene, he waits for the ball, was going to play the upper cut initially, changed his shot and just guided it over Dhoni's head |

| Dhoni comes up to the stumps now. | |
| 2.3 | Bhuvneshwar to Dilshan, no run, a surprise short ball outside off stump, Dilshan drops his wrists and lets it go |
| 2.2 | Bhuvneshwar to Dilshan, FOUR, fine leg was very, very square and with that field, you can't bowl on the pads Bhuvneshwar! Dilshan happily allows the ball to come on and flicks it along the ground to pick up four |
| 2.1 | Bhuvneshwar to Dilshan, no run, the ball swings away outside off stump and that allows Dilshan to free his arms, he drives on the rise but picks out backward point |
| So India have kept things calm so far, just the start they would have wanted. | |
| 1.6 | Mohit Sharma to M Jayawardene, no run, a fine looking front foot drive from Jayawardene, but he says 'wait' to his partner as it went straight to cover |
| 1.5 | Mohit Sharma to M Jayawardene, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Jayawardene carefully cuts it to point |
| 1.4 | Mohit Sharma to M Jayawardene, no run, good length delivery just outside off stump, Jayawardene defends off the front foot |
| 1.3 | Mohit Sharma to M Jayawardene, 2 runs, opens his account straightaway. Just walks across the sticks and touch and flicks the short of length delivery watchfully through backward square leg |
| 1.2 | Mohit Sharma to Dilshan, 1 run, this one surprised Dilshan, jags back in considerably from short of length, but the batsman manages to run it wide of the fly slip fielder, a clean pick-up could have been interesting as Jayawardene wasn't fully there |
| Mahela Jayawardene, right handed bat, comes to the crease | |
| 1.1 | Mohit Sharma to K Perera, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! This is bad batting by Perera. Nothing but a length ball well outside off stump, he tries to go over the on-side, swings hard but doesn't get the timing right as the bat turns in his hand, he slices it in the air and mid-off takes a comfortable catch running back a couple of yards. Probably the fact that he wasn't able to go over the off-side in the first over, forced him to go leg-side. K Perera c Ravindra Jadeja b Mohit Sharma 5(7) [4s-1] |
| Mohit Sharma, right-arm medium, comes into the attack | |
| 0.6 | Bhuvneshwar to K Perera, 1 run, pushes the short of length delivery to mid-off and sets off immediately, the fielder was off balance while throwing but he has a shy and misses |
| 0.5 | Bhuvneshwar to K Perera, no run, again, goes for the lofted shot over the off-side but the over the wicket angle for Bhuvneshwar takes it past the outside edge |
| 0.4 | Bhuvneshwar to K Perera, no run, short of length delivery angling into the left hander, Perera misses the flick and is hit high on the pad |
| 0.3 | Bhuvneshwar to K Perera, no run, looks like the message is bat India out of the game as soon as possible, Perera tries to launch this length ball over extra-cover but misses |
| 0.2 | Bhuvneshwar to K Perera, FOUR, fine leg was late to pick up the ball but anyway, he had no chance. Inswinger again from Bhuvneshwar, Perera swings across the line and swipes it through backward square leg. Off the mark in style |
| 0.1 | Bhuvneshwar to K Perera, no run, just a bit of inswing for Bhuvneshwar on this back of a length delivery, Perera jams it to mid-off |
| K Perera and Dilshan are at the crease. K Perera is on strike. Bhuvneshwar will open the attack | |
