SPORT-WC-IND INNINGS 2 LAST

Dilshan went for a sweep but the ball hit his gloves and
lobbed onto his stumps to trigger off wild celebrations in the
galleries.
Sangakkara and Jayawardene then took upon themselves the
task of rebuilding the innings and the duo scored at a decent
pace to steer the team to a more comfortable position.
Yuvraj Singh, who has been having a dream tournament with
both the bat and the ball, was introduced into the attack in
the 22nd over but the two experienced batsmen were not really
troubled by his left arm spin.
It was Yuvraj who finally broke the 62-run third wicket
partnership which was assuming dangerous proportions by
dismissing Sangakkara who tried to cut a wide outside the off
stump ball but only succeeding in edging the ball to Dhoni
behind the stump. His knock of 48 came off 67 balls and
contained five boundaries.
It was left to the well-settled Jayawardene to hold the
innings together and he found an able ally in Thilan
Samaraweera to take the Sri Lankan total close to the 180
mark.
Jayawardene took a single off Yuvraj to notch up his 50th
ODI half century.
Yuvraj was again instrumental in breaking the fourth
wicket partnership by accounting for Samaraweera. Umpire Simon
Taufel turned down the leg before appeal but the Indians went
for the referral and television replays showed that the ball
would have hit the stumps.
New batsman Chamara Kapugedera did not survive long as he
offered a simple catch to Suresh Raina at extra cover off a
slower delivery from Zaheer Khan, leaving the visitors in a
spot of bother at 182 for five.
Jayawardene and Nuwan Kulasekara then teamed up ensure
that Sri Lanka had a competitive total on the board as they
went about accumulating runs in the batting power play which
was taken in the last five overs.
