Perera, Herath help Sri Lanka avoid follow-on
August 30, 2015  13:50

SL 104-6 (30 ovs) vs India 312 | Scorecard


Binny has a huge appeal for caught behind against Herath turned down and the replays show that umpire Nigel Llong was correct as the bat touching the ground made the noise which felt like an edge.

Perera continues to be positive against Ashwin. He goes back and drives a short ball from Ashwin through point for two runs and two balls later hits it through the same region but this time for a four.

Herath gets into the act now. He lofts a full delivery from Binny over mid-off for a four and two balls later pulls a short one through midwicket for another boundary.

The partnership is worth 56 from 69 balls as Sri Lanka reach 104 for six in 30 overs with another nine runs needed to avoid the follow-on.

Perera's counter-attack has left the Indians a bit shell-shocked as he hit 34 from 41 balls, while Herath has also kept the scoreboard moving to score 20 from 29 balls.
