out Bowled!! Dhammika is all smiles. This is just the start Sri Lanka wanted after electing to field. Poor judgement from Rahul I must say. Good length delivery just outside off stump, it was bowled with a scrambled seam, without covering the line, Rahul simply shouldered arms, the ball nipped back in off the seam and hit the top of off stump. Rahul looks at the pitch but he has only himself to blame as he never made an attempt to cover the line. Rahul b Dhammika 2

india 2-1

out Lbw!! Umpire Nigel Llong raised his finger in a flash. That was plumb in front and Rahane can't believe that he's missed it. He was looking so good, almost getting behind the line and presenting the full face of the bat every ball but he has to go. Full and on the stumps, looks like Rahane was surprised by the length there, he was a little late to react as he tried to drive, the ball nips back in slightly and beat the inside edge, hit the front pad in line with middle and it would have al least crashed into leg stump. Rahane fell over on that occasion and that is why he could not meet the ball. India under huge pressure now. It's 14/2 inside 4 overs. Rahane lbw b Pradeep 8

india 15-2
