Anjum: India were always ahead of the par score

India Women created history at the MCG on Friday, where their ten-wicket win resulted in their first bilateral series victory over Australia Women in any format. In a rain-affected T20 contest the Australians reached 8 for 125 from 18 overs, led by captain Meg Lanning with 49, but they failed to take a wicket during the chase and India reached their revised target of 66 with five balls of their allotted 10 overs remaining.India’s bowling was tight and their work in the field was outstanding after Mithali Raj won the toss and sent Australia in. Jhulan Goswami set things off on a fine note by bowling Grace Harris in the first over of the match and she picked up a second wicket when Beth Mooney lofted over the cover fielder Anuja Patil, who ran back with the flight to complete a brilliant catch that left Australia at 2 for 28.Patil’s sharp fielding again came to the fore when she snapped up the ball at short mid-on and threw down the stumps at the non-striker’s end to find Ellyse Perry short attempting a quick single, and Australia were 3 for 33. While Lanning was at the crease Australia still had hope of a competitive score, though, and her 70-run partnership with Jess Jonassen steadied the innings.But the match arguably turned on a piece of great fortune for India when Jonassen drove straight back down the pitch and the ball clipped the fingers of the bowler, Harmanpreet Kaur, and ricocheted back onto the stumps to have Lanning run out for 49 off 39 balls. Jonassen (27) slog-swept a catch to deep midwicket in the same over.The Australians struggled to find the boundary in their remaining overs and the left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad proved hard to get away, and picked up two wickets in an over. India made a fine start to their chase through Raj and Smriti Mandhana and when rain arrived in the eighth over of the chase they were ahead of the D/L target on 0 for 52.The rain eventually relented but only to allow a further 2.1 overs with India needing a further 14 runs on the re-adjusted D/L score. Raj and Mandhana cruised to victory with five balls to spare, Raj finishing on 37 from 32 balls and Mandhana on 22 off 24. India had an unassailable 2-0 lead with one match still to play.

South Africa have become the first side to secure three consecutive victories in the World Twenty20 and there is now an indisputable momentum to their campaign. Admittedly, they haven’t yet had to facetheir demons Australia, or the effervescent strokeplay of the Sri Lankans, but tonight they had to fight back from a tough position against England and in the end came away with a relatively comfortable19-run win. It draws a line under a sporting weekend of vastly contrasting fortunes for the two countries.However, the cricket team didn’t have it as easy as the rugby players did at the Stade de France on Friday, and they had Albie Morkel to thank for reaching a defendable total. Morkel had demonstrated his batting prowess against Bangladesh, making 41 off 29 balls after being promoted to No. 3. This time he was back in the middle order and it’s a role he seems well suited to.His 43 from 20 balls turned a likely total of 125-135 into a more imposing 154 for 8, and with theappreciable seam movement on offer it was always going to be a testingchase for England. The crucial moment came when he miscued ChrisSchofield over midwicket on 14. Paul Collingwood rushed back for the catch, butit would have been an easier effort for Owais Shah coming in from long-on. In the end the ball landed in no-man’s land between them.Morkel then dispatched Schofield’s last three balls for sixes ofvarying vastness and his striking was reminiscent of Lance Klusener inhis pomp. Like Klusener he is a left-hander and plays with anuncompromising swing of the bat. Shortly before the Twenty20 he hit 97while batting at No.3 against Zimbabwe and he has a large role to play inSouth Africa’s limited-overs sides. In the end, those 18 runs – plus the single he salvaged during his reprieve – were the difference between the teams.But Morkel, whose brother Morne took the match award againstBangladesh on Saturday, also played his part with the ball as heremoved Matt Prior and the dangerous Owais Shah, who was keepingEngland in with an outside chance. “This is definitely my best game inthe green and gold,” he said afterwards.After the non-contest between Australia and Bangladesh, the incidentsthrown up by this clash were appreciable. It was another match wherethe ball held sway on a surface with extra bounce and the assistanceof the floodlit evening.Bowling tactics have been fascinating to watch as this tournament hasevolved. In theory, bowlers are on a hiding to nothing in this format, and yet with a bit of skill and variation they too can bask in the limelight. Brett Lee’s pace earlier in the day took quick bowling back to its basics while Nathan Bracken is developing a fine art with his off-cutters. Awayfrom Cape Town, Lasith Malinga has been held back for the latter partof the innings as a specialist death bowler with his low, slingingyorkers.England added another box of tricks to the list as Collingwood broughta new meaning to rotating the bowlers. Only three times did anyonebowl a spell of two consecutive overs as everyone was kept on their toes. Therewas some sound thinking behind the move and for a while England’sattack were the “one-over wonders”. It certainly didn’t let thebatsmen settle and, with South Africa on 94 for 6, the move was workinga treat until Morkel’s intervention.Graeme Smith went completely the other way with his attack, bowlingShaun Pollock for his full four overs off the reel for the first timein the tournament. It was traditional Pollock, all line and length, and with the ball zipping around there was no need to try anything new. His first over was a maiden, a rare species in the past week. Therewas even the sight of a slip catch, when Collingwood edged to JustinKemp, almost as scarce a sight as the less-spotted maiden.Both these teams now leave Cape Town for Durban, where conditions arelikely to be equally helpful for the quick bowlers. South Africa havebeen criticised for being too one-dimensional, but it is serving themwell at the moment. As for England, their bowling is the onlydimension which is firing at all.

Cricket fans in India will see a vastly improved Sri Lanka in the upcoming Champions Trophy one-day tournament, Mahela Jayawardene, the Sri Lanka captain, predicted.Sri Lanka’s pride was severely dented when they toured India last October, losing 6-1 in a one-day series against the Indians.”We have learnt from our mistakes,” said Jayawardene. “When we came here last time, we faced initial difficulties following new rules [PowerPlay and super sub] which gave so much importance to the toss, but I think we have improved since then.”Tom Moody, Sri Lankan coach, echoed the same sentiments. “A lot of water has gone down the bridge since then. We are not the same team that visited India last time. We are now a better, stronger unit,” Moody said. “A lot of young guys have come and done well in international cricket. There is a significant improvement, especially in fielding.”The Indian drubbing also saw Sri Lanka slip in the rankings. They were not among the top six sides, who have been given direct entry into the Champions Trophy main draw based on rankings in April this year.Sri Lanka will now play qualifying matches against defending champions West Indies, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. The top two teams will join the elite six. They open their campaign on October 7 against Bangladesh at Mohali.”The focus now is on playing qualifying matches which will help our players adjust to Indian conditions before the main tournament starts,” said Moody.Sri Lanka are looking forward to a better performance from their bowlers on low, slow Indian tracks. “Bowling is crucial in these conditions,” said Jayawardene. “I think spinners will play a key role, but it is also necessary for fast bowler to vary pace. The batsmen need to apply themselves.”Sri Lanka are a team in form, having drawn a tough Test series 1-1 and won 5-0 in one-dayers in England recently.When asked about the secret of their recent successes, Jayawardene said: “There is no secret, only hard work. The challenge now is to keep the momentum going.”Jayawardene played a vital role in his team’s victories in England, scoring 328 runs in five one-dayers. “It’s nice to be in form,” he said. “I now have a regular batting slot which has given me a lot of freedom. It was a bit difficult to be consistent in the initial years [of my career] when I had no fixed batting place.”Jayawardene said Marvan Atapattu’s return from an injury and Sanath Jayasuriya’s current form auger well for the team. “Marvan’s return is a bonus. He is an experienced batsman and has given us more options. It is also good to see Sanath in good form. He is a great asset.”Jayawardene, however, declined to pick winners, saying every team was focused. “Playing any team is a challenge in this tournament. Any team can win. Just remember how the West Indies came from nowhere to lift the trophy [in England] last time,” he said.

Zimbabwe Cricket hold their annual general meeting at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Monday, the first time the meeting has been held outside Harare.The Peter Chingoka led executive still has one more year to serve after the constitution was changed last year to give the board a two-year term. Lovemore Banda, the ZC spokesperson, told the local Sunday News that it is merely a routine meeting and there will be no elections for the board.Ozias Bvute ceased to be a board member when he assumed the post of managing director early this year and has to be replaced, together with former Midlands Cricket Association chairman Hemant Patel who stepped down from the board a few months after he had replaced Mike Moyo. But Banda said the board appointments are done in terms of the constitution and have got nothing to do with the AGM.Banda also made a surprising revelation that Clive Barnes, a former headmaster at Prince Edward in Harare now based in Mauritius, is still a Zimbabwe Cricket board member. Banda told the Sunday News that Barnes was kept on the board for his expertise and still attends all board meetings.The only election to take place at the meeting is that of the national team selectors. At the moment, the panel is made up of convener Macsood Ebrahim, former Rhodesian left-arm spinner Richard Kaschula, and former Matabeleland and Zimbabwe A medium-pace bowler Ethan Dube. Since Kaschula and Dube came on board in August last year, they have added some respect to the selection process that was over the years done on a regional basis.It is still not yet clear how many selectors will be elected. Initially there were four, but only three have been selecting the team of late after the fourth member of the panel, Stephen Mangongo, was suspended by Zimbabwe Cricket. He has, however, has since bounced back as national coach Kevin Curran’s assistant.

As the Twenty20 carnival rolled into Birmingham for the last three matches to decide England’s best short-distance cricketers, a sellout – and very mixed – crowd, made up of families, old dears, groups of noisy bachelors and a gaggle of teenybopping girls quickly filled Edgbaston yesterday morning.A vast swathe of indifference came over them when the musical entertainment of the day was announced, and the naming of the umpires got a bigger cheer than Liberty X and Natasha Bedingfield put together, but play was under way on time, with Lancashire taking on Surrey in the first semi-final.Of the four team mascots present, only Lancashire’s – Lanky the Giraffe – made an appearance during the semi-finals, and the start of his off-field revelry signalled a dip in Lancashire’s run-chase that they never recovered from. The other mascots, perhaps waiting in the wings and watching Lanky’s tomfoolery – and the effect it had on his team – thought it best to keep out of sight.Surrey’s bowling at the death won them the first semi-final, and in the second, Glamorgan’s Alex Wharf worked up a good head of steam, topping 88mph. Michael Kasprowicz slowed their momentum in the closing overs with some miserly bowling, but in the end Leicestershire’s 165 proved more than enough to beat Glamorgan, and they stormed into the finals.The festive atmosphere around the ground certainly spread to the commentary box, where David Lloyd kept Nick Knight and Nasser Hussain entertained with anecdotes on subjects other than the state of play on the field. “Phoenix Nights – magnificent!” was Lloyd’s verdict on Peter Kay’s cult comedy show, though he had lost Knight somewhere in the telling of his story, who replied: “I have to admit, Bumble, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Lloyd wasn’t finished there, and was soon naming the members of Liberty X, and announcing their single (Just a Little Bit) to be “a very catchy tune”.The npower girls were as popular as ever, though I’m still not sure what their job actually is, apart from slinking around the base of the stands from time to time to take the majority of the crowd’s eyes off the cricket. After the semi-finals came the other scheduled entertainment for the day – performances from two of England’s hottest pop acts.The organisers handed out wristbands to willing members of the crowd before the performance, and only the (un)lucky few who managed to get hold of one got an up-close and personal look at the bands, being herded onto a section of the outfield in front of the stage before the entertainment started.Liberty X were first, but Jessica, Kelly, Tony, Michelle and the other one didn’t really get the crowd going, and only a few merry revellers chose to dance, but as many of them had been drinking beer in the sun since 11 o’clock that morning it was probably something other than the music that inspired them. Natasha Bedingfield proved more adept at working the crowd, and soon had a large throng gathered at the front of the stage clapping and waving along to her tunes. At least she had real musicians playing as an accompaniment, and took the time to point out all the “nice-looking men” in the crowd in front of her. For a while cricket was pushed to the back of the mind, and Surrey went through their fielding drills on the other side of the pitch completely unnoticed.And then came what the crowd had really been waiting for: the finals. Surrey won the toss and decided to bat. Their mascot, Roary the Lion, crept onto a corner of the outfield now covered by shadow, buoyed by his win in the mascot’s race (though this was not without controversy – he was the only runner not wearing big fuzzy shoes), but his appearance had much the same effect as Lanky had earlier in the day, and within seconds Justin Benning had sliced Ottis Gibson to third man and was out for 5.Leicestershire’s foxy mascot saw his opportunity, seizing on poor Roary’s misfortune to win favour with the crowd. Cheered on by an increasingly partisan audience, he ran round the boundary, pausing only to hug a young Leicestershire fan, and whipped the crowd up into a frenzy. Roary, on the other hand, was roundly booed wherever he went, and was eventually shepherded away from the outfield by a security guard, much to the delight of the Leicestershire fans throwing increasingly volatile comments in his direction, after taunting a Leicestershire fielder who had failed to stop a booming on-drive from Ally Brown from reaching the boundary.Roary was eventually relieved of his mascot-race title after video evidence surfaced of him taking off his lion slippers while searching for that extra yard of pace in the race, and even after setting an imposing 168 for 6, aided by Brown’s 64 from 41 balls, Surrey were similarly stripped of their crown. Brad Hodge (77 not out) and Jeremy Snape (34 not out) powered Leicestershire to victory to end Surrey’s two-year unbeaten run, and though they were no doubt disappointed after coming so close to retaining the Twenty20 Cup, Surrey were beaten by a superior side on the day.The crowd remained energetic and vocal through all three matches, and if anything they were even more boisterous in the evening, despite the long, hot day. While the musical sideshow was no doubt an added bonus for some, the fans today came for the cricket, and they were very well entertained.Liam Brickhill is editorial assistant of Wisden Cricinfo.

Anil Kumble has started to show signs of form ahead of New Zealand’s tour of India, leading the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) XI into the final of the KSCA all-India Invitation MRF Trophy tournament.Kumble was instrumental in crushing the Railway Sports Promotion Board (RSPB) by 111 runs in the semi-final at Bangalore. He took four wickets in the RSPB’s first innings, restricting their total to 219, a lead of 37. He then gambled by promoting Stuart Binny to number three, and was duly rewarded with a 99-ball 117.That set the RSPB a target of 199 runs, and Kumble shone again, removing Bhavin Thakkar, Jai P Yadav and Santosh Sahu to pick three for 15. Just when he looked certain to run through the side, however, he brought medium-pacer Vinay Kumar into the attack. Yet again, his move paid rich dividends – in this case, a hat-trick that accounted for Yerre Goud, Kulamani Parida and Santosh Saxena.Kumble’s role as the strike-bowler on home pitches seems certain to continue for the New Zealand tour, but bigger challenges lie ahead, when India tour Australia at the end of the year. It will be a long, hard season, but Kumble has begun it well.

For the third home series in succession it’s 1-1 after the first two Tests,when it could so easily have been 2-0 to Sri Lanka. No time for regrets,though, as we have a chance to win the series once and for all in the finalTest in Colombo.The turning point in Kandy was undoubtedly the third morning. We had startedthe day well placed, on 55 for one with a lead of 94, but our grip on thegame was loosened, as we lost four wickets for 72 runs in the morningsession. Then, in the afternoon, Venkatesh Prasad finished off the jobstarted by Zaheer Khan in the morning.It’s hard to put the finger on what exactly went wrong. India did bowl well.They bowled a consistent line and length and extracted surprising movementfrom the wicket, which put our batsmen under considerable pressure. Thewickets were falling, but the runs weren’t flowing and that is always goingto lead to strife. Even so, individual batsman didn’t play with theresponsibility that was demanded. It was almost as if they expected theothers to do the job.There were other important moments earlier in the game too. On the firstday, when we lost two wickets just before lunch, to throw away an excellentmornings work. Then, on the second day, when we let Harbhajan Singh smack 42quick runs and significantly reduce their first innings deficit. Theselittle moments contributed, but it was the second innings batting that lostus the game.Muttiah Muralitharan did his best to save us with that fantastic innings,just when we needed it most. He has always had good hand-eye coordination,but he used his brains too, selecting which deliveries to hit and cleverlyfarming the strike, so that Ruchira (Perera) was not overly exposed. He wasalso paid the biggest compliment that anyone has ever been paid to him as abatsman by Sourav Ganguly, who opted to post all his fielders on theboundary. It’s a real shame that we weren’t unable to pull off a win for himafter his heroics.We always wanted to post a higher target than 264. The pitch had heldtogether well and was much easier to bat on the fourth day than when we hadplayed England and South Africa. Nevertheless, we felt that the game wouldbe close and we expected it to go right down to the wire.We were unlucky. Both on the third evening when Chaminda (Vaas) was swingingthe ball around and could so easily have nipped out one or two. Then, on thefourth morning, Muttiah Muralitharan was not properly rewarded for the skillhe displayed. You can only feel sorry for the poor guy. During his last fiveTests, played against England in March and India now, he can rightfullyclaimed to have taken 15 more wickets than have been recorded.Fortune aside, Dravid batted exceptionally. He held India together and wasboth confident and positive. He also ran well between the wickets. He is theone player that stands out from that team, as being really special. We haveto take his wicket early at the Sinhalese Sports Club.In the aftermath of defeat it is important to not make rash conclusions.Wait for the emotions to blow over and then analyse the situation coolly.The fast bowlers did not bowl at their best on the last day, but you cannotbe too harsh on them. Apart from Chaminda (Vaas), they have only played ahandful of Tests and need greater experience.The new look formation with a greater emphasis on fast bowlers isundoubtedly the way forward for Sri Lanka, but it is going to take time forthe philosophy to work consistently. Individual players, and the team ingeneral, need to become more accustomed to the system. We have to persevere.Yes, we did lose, but not because of the fast bowlers – the game turned inour second innings. We now have to make sure that we don’t make the samemistakes again.

Hampshire, bottom of Division One, have announced that Jimmy Adams has stepped down as captain of their Championship side to find form with the bat.The decision has been made with six matches remaining in the 2015 season and Hampshire 22 points adrift of the two sides above them – Worcestershire and Sussex.James Vince, Hampshire’s one-day captain, will now take over in all competitions for the rest of the season. He succeeded Adams as captain in 50-over cricket in April and in the T20 format last year.Adams is only averaging 29.15 in Division One – and, although Vince can claim to have a higher average it is only by one-hundredth of a run. His own batting returns have also been vastly disappointing considering that he is regularly presented as one of England’s brightest young batting talents.Hampshire’s director of cricket, Giles White, said: “Jimmy feels that the most important thing right now is for him to focus on his batting and to get back to scoring runs at the top of the order. While this is the case Vincey will lead the team.”Hampshire’s promotion under Adams last season, as Division Two champions, was their fifth trophy in as many seasons. The county’s first official Hampshire-born captain since the war is the most popular of beneficiaries, although this is also bound to have taken its toll, as is a run of defeats and the birth of a second child earlier in the summer.

West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite has plenty to say about his batting, his doughty 85 on the first day of the SCG Test, his development on this tour, and the prospect of bowling on a turning Sydney pitch. He has nothing at all to say about, or for, Marlon Samuels.In a telling interlude as Brathwaite spoke about how he has evolved as a batsman on this trip, becoming more proactive to counter Australia’s bowlers rather than simply trying to wait them out, he became decidedly tight-lipped about Samuels, the run-out they were involved in, and the older man’s contribution to the tour.It may well have been a case of if you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all, for Samuels has endured a wretched tour, notching a meagre 35 runs in five innings – an average of seven for those not paying attention – and earning plenty of criticism for his apparent lack of verve in the field. At the time of the run-out, which was Samuels’ call, West Indies were in a decent position. After it, they subsided to 6 for 207.”I think those things happen in cricket. I’m not sure what to say about that,” Brathwaite said. “It was just a misunderstanding.”Queried further on Samuels’ contribution this tour, Brathwaite clammed up. “There’s not much I can say about that at the moment,” he said. A further question to that effect drew a similar response from the team media manager.What was left to discuss was an innings that impressed many, lacking only the catharsis of reaching three figures after Nathan Lyon finally found a way to confound Brathwaite’s previously sure feet and sound mind. “It is a good challenge,” Brathwaite said of Lyon. “I think he is bowling quite well and I just have to keep believing in my ability. They fielded well today and for me it is about trusting my defence and working towards my plan.”It is a tour where I am learning and I just want to keep going out there and building a foundation for my team and learning in the process. On a first-day pitch that is spinning like that, once we get a score, anything about 300 will put ourselves in a good position.”I think the spinners bowled well, it is just about trusting your defence and backing your shots and you can score. Coming from the last game, when the guys showed some improvement, it is key to keep showing that improvement and supporting one another.”As for the pitch, Brathwaite was surprised by how much deviation it offered, but was eager to see how his team might fare on it – and how he might bowl on it. “I was quite surprised, I didn’t expect the first day to spin like that,” he said. “I heard it can spin here but I didn’t expect that.”So as batters, once we put some runs on the board, we can put some pressure on Australia. It is important when we do bowl that we string those dots together because dots balls can build pressure and that brings wickets. I will be looking forward to [bowling]. We will just have to see what happens.”

Scorecard

Warding off a scare before the final Test at The Oval, the Indian batsmen held on for a hard-fought draw on the final day of their tour game at Grace Road. The Sri Lankans will rue declaring a bit too late, leaving the Indians an improbable 294 to chase in 57 overs. In the end, they didn’t have enough time to polish off the tail.At 152 for 6 with 15 overs to go India were staring at a morale-shattering defeat but Gautam Gambhir’s calm half-century, his second of the match, defied the Sri Lankans. Instead of withdrawing into a shell Gambhir remained positive, going for his shots when given the chance to pilot the team through to stumps. Both Rangana Herath and Dammika Prasad were causing problems but Gambhir’s hour-long stand with Ramesh Powar ensured that the Indians continued their undefeated run on this tour.Until the action-filled final hour, a couple of laidback innings brightened what threatened to be a drab day. Michael Vandort’s assertive century stretched the Sri Lankans’ lead to 293 before Wasim Jaffer responded in typically languid style. Vandort was the bully who waited to pounce; Jaffer, the artist who simply waved the brush. Both reeled off joyous drives, used their feet against spin and batted with an air of effortlessness. In a situation that could have led to drudgery, both injected a vital spark.A 57-run second-wicket stand between Jaffer and Yuvraj Singh allowed the Indians to sniff an unlikely win. Yuvraj’s 33 was chancy – he was dropped early and survived a big shout for caught behind – but bristled with crackling strokes on both sides of the wicket. In the eighth over, delivered by left-armer Chanaka Walegedera, he ripped fours through square leg, midwicket and cover, telegraphing his intentions of going for the victory target.His dismissal, though, trapped lbw while trying to paddle-sweep offspinner Dilruwan Perera, set the match on course for a draw. Jaffer continued to prosper and brought up his fifty with a delicious cover-drive struck on the up. Waltzing down the track to Perera, he lofted as if enjoying a net, smacking him for a handsome six over long-off. It was all too easy until he was deceived by the left-arm spin of Herath and popped an inside edge back to the bowler. Two more quick wickets caused some flutters but Gambhir downed the shutters calmly.Twelve wickets fell on a day when conditions were ideal for batting. Vandort, resuming on 61, dispatched the bowling to different parts, pounding straight-drives with minimum fuss. Tall and usually taking a big stride forward, he was aggressive in bursts – a string of dot balls being followed by a couple of meaty blows.Perera, his partner this morning, fell one short of a well-deserved half-century and Malinda Warnapura capped a forgettable game with a first-ball duck, prodding unconvincingly. It was only because of Kaushal Lokuarachchi and Dammika Prasad that the Sri Lankans could boost their total. Both used agricultural methods – mowing across the line with abandon – and took on the spinners. Prasad’s two sixes pushed the total to 248 before his attempt at a third saw him caught at long-off.Despite the final-day stumble the Indians will leave Leicester upbeat, especially with their captain, Rahul Dravid, striking form with an assured half-century in the first innings. However, a couple of issues remain: one surrounding Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who didn’t keep wicket for most of this game and endured two batting failures, and another involving Anil Kumble, who didn’t make any sort of impact in his 20 overs. It’s unlikely, though, that either will sit out at The Oval.How they were outDilruwan Perera run-out (Gambhir/Karthik) 49 (115 for 2)Malinda Warnapura c Karthik b Bose 0 (115 for 3)Michael Vandort c Bose b Powar 117 (196 for 4)Thilan Samaraweera c and b Powar 24 (205 for 5)Kaushal Lokuarachchi c Kumble b Laxman 16 (217 for 6)Dammika Prasad c Karthik b Gambhir 21 (248 for 7)IndiansDinesh Karthik b Walagedera 9 (9 for 1)\Yuvraj Singh lbw b Perera 33 (66 for 2)Mahendra Singh Dhoni lbw Prasad 1 (73 for 3)Wasim Jaffer c and b Herath 55 (116 for 4)VVS Laxman lbw Herath 3 (122 for 5)Rahul Dravid lbw b Prasad 15 (152 for 6)
