L Malinga to M Pandey, FOUR! Carved away! Shorter in length and outside off, Pandey stands tall and guides it through point for a boundary. This is already an expensive over.

L Malinga to M Pandey, Comedy of errors there! It is a full ball around middle, Pandey strokes it straight back past the bowler. The fielder from long off runs to his right, slides and then looks to lob the ball towards the fielder at long on. He though slips, it goes behind him. However, he recovers and does not concede an extra run. Two taken.

L Malinga to S Thakur, SIX! Take that, Malinga! What a hit that is. It is shorter and it is the slower one outside off. Thakur stands tall, waits for it and then smashes it over the long on fence for a biggie. Ideal start to the over.

Lasith Malinga to bowl out now!

L Kumara to W Sundar, OUT! Caught! Sundar walks back for a golden duck. Back of a length delivery around off, Washington straightaway goes for a shot as he tries to play the upper cut. Ends up finding the man at third man for perfection. Once again India lose two wickets in quick succession. Very good comeback from the Lankans. They have roared their way back in this game.

L Kumara to V Kohli, OUT! RUN OUT! The Indian skipper has thrown it away here. Both these batsmen are extremely quick between the wickets but the second was just not there for the taking. Fuller on off and middle, Kohli whips it towards backward square leg. Gunathilaka charges from fine leg and quickly gets to the ball. Virat challenges Gunathilaka's arm and goes for the second. Manish was hesitant but Virat was on his bike which had no brake. Danushka sends a decent throw to the right of the keeper. Perera dives and dislodges all the stumps. The umpire goes upstairs but Virat is already walking. One look at the replay and the giant screen shows OUT!

20:24 (IST) Jan 10

A run out appeal and Kohli is already walking back! It was a suicidal run and this looks out.

A Mathews to V Kohli, Poor bowling again but this time it only costs two! Full and on the pads, it is once again worked behind square on the leg side. It is closer to the fielder in the deep, he runs to his right, slides and keeps it down to two.

A Mathews to V Kohli, SIX! Straight as an arrow! Probably the shot of the game. Also, the 150 is up. It is slightly fuller and on middle, Kohli shows the full face of the bat and lobs it straight over the bowler's head for a biggie.
