WDhananjaya c Rahul b Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja to Dhananjaya, out Caught by Rahul!! KL Rahul takes a low catch and claims it. DDS waits and the TV umpire has been summoned to check if it's a fair catch. Looked clean to the naked eye. The TV umpire asks for the zoomer and KL has his fingers under the ball. OUT! Sri Lanka lose half their side, with their skipper walking off at the stroke of the lunch break. First wicket in the match for Ravindra Jadeja. A classic left-arm spinner's wicket. 89.6kph, drifts in from round the wicket, lands around middle and spins away enough to trim the outside edge of Dhananjaya who is half-forward to block. Rahul, at first slip, stays low and bends forward to take a sharp catch with both hands. Dhananjaya c Rahul b Ravindra Jadeja 21(41) [4s-4]
