Sri Lanka lose 9th wicket
December 04, 2017



SL 343-9 (127 ovs) vs India 536-7d | Scorecard


Chandimal takes a single off the first ball before Lahiru Gamage watchfully plays out the next two balls and then gets a single courtesy of the edge.

Chandimal takes one off the fifth ball to keep strike.

Shami bowls another cracking delivery as Chandimal plays away from the body and gets a thick outside edge which goes past the gully for a four which helps Sri Lanka avoid the follow-on.

Chandimal turns the next ball on the leg side but doesn't want to take the single and bring Gamage on strike and does the same off the next ball. He flicks the fifth ball square on the leg side before Shami bowls a quick bouncer to deny Chandimal the chance to pick one as he sways out of the way.

Gamage gets an inside edge off Ashwin but the ball falls safely out of the reach of Dhawan at short leg before he plays out the rest of the over.

With the light fading fast, Jadeja comes back into the attack in place of Shami. He strikes Gamage on the pads with the quicker delivery which slides on as he is ruled out leg before wicket.

Sri Lanka take the DRS review but the ball is clipping the bails which means the decision stays as the visitors lose their ninth wicket.
