Rohit, Binny take India's lead past the 200-run mark

August 31, 2015 11:23

India 94-4 (29 ovs) & 312 vs SL 201 | Scorecard

Pradeep is making things happen. He bowls a wide one as Binny flashes hard at it, getting it past gully for a four. That was in the air and could have gone anywhere but luckily for India, it went in the gap.

Herath is back, for his second spell on Day 4. Binny gives him the charge before he taps it to the covers for one and Rohit blocks the rest of the over.

Prasad comes back and starts with a short wide delivery which Binny cuts through point for his third four, to take his score to 15. He is looking quite confident now and the pitch also seems to have eased out. The right-hander steers the third ball to the vacant thirdman region for two runs to take the lead past the 200-run mark.

He plays another risky shot off the last ball, throwing his bat at another wide one as it just about goes over the fielder at gully for a four.

India are 94 for four in 29 overs, for an overall lead of 205 runs.

Rohit has grown in confidence to reach 43 from 60 balls, while Binny has stroked 21 from 25 balls.
