End of over 3 (5 runs) India 16/1 (123 runs required from 17 overs, RR: 5.33, RRR: 7.23)

RG Sharma15 (12b 3x4 0x6)
AD Mathews2-0-11-0
KMDN Kulasekara1-0-5-1
2.6
Mathews to Kohli, no run, length ball close to off stump, defended back to the bowler
2.5
Mathews to Kohli, no run, length ball on middle stump, clipped to midwicket
2.4
Mathews to Kohli, no run, fullish outside off, gets forward for a punchy drive to mid-off. Looked like this one also stopped on the batsman a little, and he had to check his shot at the last moment
2.3
Mathews to Sharma, 1 run, shortish, angling into the batsman, worked off the hip to long leg
2.2
Mathews to Sharma, no run, length ball close to off stump, Rohit looks to place his front leg inside the line and drive into the covers, but the length and inward angle force him to play it back to the bowler, off the inside half of his bat
2.1
Mathews to Sharma, FOUR, ooh, nearly. This is a length ball angling into off stump, and it stops on Rohit just a touch as he looks to use his wrists and clip towards mid-on. Ends up playing way out in front of his body, and chips it in the air, but it bounces just short of the diving mid-on fielder, sneaks under him, and runs away, all the way to the boundary
 

Here's Kohli.

Deepak Jain: "Chameera bowled well against India in the recent series. I think he should have been the one opening the bowling"
