India was in trouble when two wickets fell in the same over. Thushara dismissed Kohli for 37 and two balls later trapped Rohit Sharma for a duck. Skipper Dhoni played an innings that was an example for others to follow. He added 60 runs with Badrinath for the 6th wicket which paved the way for victory.
Earlier Praveen Kumar and Zaheer gave a good start by restricting Sri Lanka to 10 for 3. Sangakkara was bowled by a beautiful inswinger which knocked his stumps. He bowled two balls away from the batsman and then brough one into Sangakkara which he did not expect. Khan next's victim was skipper Jayawardane, the outswinger got outside edge and went to slip. Two balls later Kapugedera was caught behind with a thin outside edge of the outswinger.
Jayasuriya was trying to provide a fighting innings, but was trapped LBW of Khan. From 44 for 6, Kulasekara and Thushara took Sri Lanka beyond 100. They both added 74 for the 7th wicket.
