Live! India restricts Sri Lanka to 251 for 8 in Colombo

July 31, 2012 17:54

Scorecard:

Tiwary strikes twice in his eighth over, accounting for both Ajantha Mendis (17) and Thisara Perera (2). The part-time leg-spinner ends with figures of four for 61, his analysis somewhat soiled by the last over which costs his team 18 runs.

Ashwin also gets a second wicket, cleaning up Thirimanne (47) to finish with figures of two for 46.

Sri Lanka has been restricted to 251 for eight by the visitors. To their credit Rangana Herath (17 not out) and Lasith Malinga (15 not out) added 32 runs in the final three overs to give the total a semblance of respectability.

A poor show by the home team after such a wonderful stand for the opening wicket. India should have it easy from here on.
