Live! Indian bowlers struggle to break through SL batting

July 31, 2012 15:25

Scorecard:

Zaheer and Irfan have so far bowled well, not allowing the Lankan openers any free runs. However, they have failed to provide the visitors an early breakthrough.

This has prompted MS Dhoni to make the first bowling change in the ninth over, bring in Ashok Dinda to replace Zaheer (4-0-18-0). Dilshan spoils an otherwise good opening over from Dinda by smashing the fifth ball past cover for his sixth boundary.

Tharanga gets his first boundary in the 10th over of the innings, hitting Pathan past extra cover. Dhoni's frustration at the failure to find a breakthrough is evident when he replaces Pathan ((5-0-22-0) with Virat Kohli in the 12th over. the home team reach the 50-run mark in the over.

Sri Lanka 52 without loss after 12 overs.
