INDIA WIN TEST SERIES 2-1

SL 268-all out (85 ovs); Target: 386 | Scorecard


Yadav comes on from the other end. He bowls a short ball which Herath pulls to midwicket for a four to take Sri Lanka past the 250-run mark, in the 82nd over.

The next ball is full and swinging as Herath throws his bat at it but gets thick outside edge over the slips for another four.

Herath is having a go at everything. He has another go, looking to heave Yadav over midwicket but is beaten.

Ishant bowls a quick bouncer to Kaushal, who ducks under it and does the same with the next one.

Ashwin comes in to replace Yadav, who got just one over with the new ball. He strikes with his first delivery with the wicket of Herath, who misses the full delivery and is trapped leg before wicket for 11.

Dhammika Prasad comes out all guns blazing. He starts with a slog sweep over midwicket for two runs and two balls later runs down the track and lofts it over mid-on for a four.

He tries to repeat the shot but ends up lofting a simple catch to Binny to walk back for six. Nuwan Pradeep is beaten off the last ball of the over as he plays down the wrong line.

Mishra comes into the attack in place of Ishant as India look to finish off the last pair.

He ends up with a wicket in the over as Pradeep fails to read the googly and is trapped leg before wicket for a duck.
