Kulasekara to Dhawan, OUT, got him, excellent delivery. Slanting across into the corridor, the length is just right, and Dhawan is late getting forward to push into the covers, his front foot is still landing on its heel when the ball kisses his outside edge through to the keeper

S Dhawan c †Chandimal b Kulasekara 1 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
1.5
Kulasekara to Sharma, 1 run, back of a length, angling into middle and leg, tucked through backward square leg
1.4
Kulasekara to Sharma, FOUR, a touch fuller, a touch straighter, and Rohit punishes it. Just clears his front leg and swings through the line, one nice fluid swing, and launches it high over mid-on
1.3
Kulasekara to Sharma, no run, back of a length close to off stump, defended to short cover
1.2
Kulasekara to Sharma, no run, back of a length on off stump, defended back to the bowler
1.1
Kulasekara to Sharma, no run, length ball outside off, a bit of seam away, and he beats the outside edge as Rohit comes forward and pushes at it, away from his body, looking for a push through cover point
 

Nuwan Kulasekara.

Siddhesh: "What the Indian batsmen have done very well in recent times is to rotate the strike even when the boundaries are hard to come. As a result, even against some disciplined bowling, the pressure is not as much as it can be, and eventually they are able to capitalise on that."
