SL 303-7 (69 ovs) & 183 vs Ind 375 | Scorecard


The odd ball is turning as Ashwin once again zips past the outside edge of Mubarak's bat. He sweeps the fifth ball fine for two runs and gets another couple through midwicket off the last ball.

Harbhajan, into his 15th over of the innings, is still struggling to make an impact with the ball. Chandimal takes a single off the first ball as the lead reaches the 100-run mark.

In the next over, Chandimal finds the gap with the sweep for another boundary followed by a single as the runs continue to flow.

Harbhajan's struggles continue as he drops short and Mubarak pulls it through midwicket for a four.

But the veteran spinner gets his revenge as Mubarak gets the edge and is caught by Rahane at first slip for 49.

A wicket finally for Harbhajan in his 16th over of the innings. He had gone wicketless in eight overs in the first innings.

Rahane took his fourth catch of the innings and seventh of the match to equal the world record for the most catches in a Test match. No fielder has ever taken eight catches in a match in the history of Test cricket.

India have a chance to run through the order with the tailenders to follow. Rangana Herath gets off the mark with a single.
