:00:12. > :00:22.The trophy shared between India and Sri Lanka. The trophy belongs to the
:00:23. > :00:25.Australian team. 2013... India! Hello and welcome to the Oval, where
:00:26. > :00:31.the favourite India are taking on Sri Lanka in 2017 ICC champions
:00:32. > :00:35.Trophy. It is the 150th one-day international between these two
:00:36. > :00:39.teams. In the opening round of games, India thrashed Pakistan in a
:00:40. > :00:44.rain affected match at Edgbaston while Sri Lanka's lack of batting
:00:45. > :00:48.depth was exposed as they lost to the number one ranked side South
:00:49. > :00:52.Africa. India remain top of group Bravo after Pakistan stun South
:00:53. > :00:56.Africa in a rain hit day night match yesterday. Sri Lanka will have to
:00:57. > :00:59.conjure up a surprise when to have do have any hope of staying in the
:01:00. > :01:03.competition while an Indian win will see them all but through to the
:01:04. > :01:07.semifinals with their help the net run rate. The Indian team is
:01:08. > :01:11.predictably unchanged since the Pakistan game. Their tried and
:01:12. > :01:17.trusted tactics will centre around the brilliance of MS Dhoni and Virat
:01:18. > :01:19.Kohli with the bat. Behind the scenes, there are accusations of
:01:20. > :01:25.unrest between Anil Cumbrae and Virat Kohli, but they don't seem to
:01:26. > :01:33.be affecting the team on the field. Sri Lanka have Angelo Mathews back
:01:34. > :01:45.as captain after the stand-in skipper was suspended for two games
:01:46. > :01:47.for a slow over rate, taking nearly four hours to complete their over
:01:48. > :01:52.rate. The nothing Lacko comes in to the squad, he will open the batting.
:01:53. > :01:55.Angelo Mathews won the toss and Sri Lanka opted to bowl. Cloudy skies
:01:56. > :02:00.over the Oval but unlike the last few days, the forecast indicated a
:02:01. > :02:08.full game should be possible. Campazzo Richard Kettleborough from
:02:09. > :02:13.England and Australian Rod Tucker. Rohit Sharma and Dhawan opening the
:02:14. > :02:20.batting for India. Here comes Malinga. A very slinky round arm
:02:21. > :02:21.action which has given Rohit Sharma a bit of width and the first ball
:02:22. > :02:40.goes to the cover boundary. Don't bowl there to Dhawan. Short
:02:41. > :02:48.and wide actual peril. -- at your peril. Typical left-hander's shot,
:02:49. > :02:50.on the back foot, as you see, hangs back. Races away to the short side
:02:51. > :03:06.of the ground. Four men in that ring, four man is
:03:07. > :03:15.not enough. A boundary to complete the fifth over.
:03:16. > :03:27.He just had to put that to ball and it races away.
:03:28. > :03:39.Just like that, really. Very good. Once again, through the gaps. That's
:03:40. > :03:42.how confident he is, using his feed, you don't normally see that so early
:03:43. > :03:54.on in the innings but Dhawan does that.
:03:55. > :04:04.Top edge. Huge cheers. Wasn't about delivery at all, it was quite a good
:04:05. > :04:10.short ball, well directed -- wasn't a bad. He followed it up with the
:04:11. > :04:21.short delivery. This time, short, top edge.
:04:22. > :04:28.Would he have been gone, Rohit Sharma? It is good fielding, good
:04:29. > :04:34.turn and throw from Pradeep. He would have been gone.
:04:35. > :04:42.Picked up just short of a length and this is where he has great strength,
:04:43. > :04:45.we have seen him do it time and time again, picking up length very
:04:46. > :04:53.quickly and putting it away over square leg. Very good shot. They
:04:54. > :04:58.love it, look at them celebrating. This is the biggest side of the
:04:59. > :05:01.ground and he is hitting into the wind. Unfortunately for Sri Lanka,
:05:02. > :05:10.the man deep on the leg side is at fine leg.
:05:11. > :05:20.Short and wide again. The last ball is so important, to get out of your
:05:21. > :05:21.over well. For Rohit Sharma, that was a beautiful shot, bread and
:05:22. > :05:42.butter. Not the ideal start for Gunathilaka.
:05:43. > :05:50.Straight down the leg side. Helped on its way. Looking for a change of
:05:51. > :05:55.pace, while Sri Lanka, trying to see if there is any purchase on the
:05:56. > :05:57.surface. Chris did it well down the leg side and beautifully put away by
:05:58. > :06:13.Dhawan -- drifted down. That could be close. He has had
:06:14. > :06:17.issues, Dhawan, two spinners bowling around the wicket and not turning
:06:18. > :06:21.the ball, actually, getting the ball back in. I think that one is
:06:22. > :06:24.comfortably sliding down the leg side in the end. The Sri Lanka and
:06:25. > :06:28.is thought they had their breakthrough.
:06:29. > :06:42.It has gone very fine. Malinga the field with the slide. Decent effort
:06:43. > :06:45.from Malinga. When he is to play for the Mumbai Indians, we didn't want
:06:46. > :06:51.him to do too much diving in injured himself, but that was valiant
:06:52. > :06:56.effort. Beautifully played. No one there at short 45. Rohit Sharma was
:06:57. > :07:06.aware of where the gap was and he pedalled it nice and fine.
:07:07. > :07:13.Big showed for leg before. It is a good delivery. -- big shout. Maybe a
:07:14. > :07:29.bit too high. Second over. That was a good
:07:30. > :07:39.delivery once again. A little bit of movement.
:07:40. > :07:48.It is going to find a fielder... No, just tips it over. And look at the
:07:49. > :07:53.delight on Rohit Sharma's face and it brings up the 50 as well, brings
:07:54. > :08:00.up the 100 as well, with a dash of luck. It was a dash of luck but he
:08:01. > :08:03.has played nicely, Rohit Sharma. I wonder whether if the fielder had
:08:04. > :08:07.taken hold of this whether he still would have ended up over the
:08:08. > :08:14.boundary. He probably would have tried to pop it back into play,
:08:15. > :08:15.prevent the six. Just 72 metres, it is the shortest boundary on display
:08:16. > :08:26.today. This one has just landed on those
:08:27. > :08:32.cushions and that is another six. They have been barely two metres
:08:33. > :08:36.high all the way through. Played with a lot more conviction by Rohit
:08:37. > :08:40.Sharma this time around. The placement was superb, there are two
:08:41. > :08:45.men back so he had to hit it between them. Heated flat and as we
:08:46. > :08:50.mentioned, that is the short boundary. Lanzoni advertising
:08:51. > :08:56.cushion. This is now becoming an expensive over for Parreira.
:08:57. > :09:02.Be strike rate has been over 100 when they have bowled it short,
:09:03. > :09:15.clearly a clue there for the Sri Lankans. As for Rohit Sharma, second
:09:16. > :09:20.50 of the tournament. It is so easy on the eye, it almost looks
:09:21. > :09:21.effortless at times for Rohit Sharma. Wonderful timing on the
:09:22. > :09:33.ball. And that is beautifully played, use
:09:34. > :09:39.of the feed, opens up the leg side and the placement is supreme once
:09:40. > :09:46.again. He is a good player of spin, always has been. Got two 100s in his
:09:47. > :09:54.first innings against the West Indies. This time up in the air,
:09:55. > :09:59.through the covers and once again, in answer to Ian Bishop's question,
:10:00. > :10:05.India plays classic Malinga very well. Not much swing, not much pace
:10:06. > :10:12.and stand and deliver for Rohit Sharma. The man at short cover, I
:10:13. > :10:14.don't know if it is Chandimal, he thought for a while he was in
:10:15. > :10:29.business. So too did mid-off. Through the off-side, stand and
:10:30. > :10:41.deliver, hit through the line. No pace, brings up the 50 of Dhawan. He
:10:42. > :10:42.is not someone who goes on the front foot to other bowlers but he has hit
:10:43. > :10:53.Malinga very well today. It will fly away to the boundary,
:10:54. > :10:58.all the way for six, it looks like. For Rohit Sharma. It is a third of
:10:59. > :11:24.his innings. Fine leg this time, revenge for
:11:25. > :11:30.Malinga after being top edged 46. He gets his revenge on Rohit Sharma.
:11:31. > :11:35.You are just telling me he doesn't get much out of the hook shot and
:11:36. > :11:40.the next delivery, he just picks the man at deep fine leg. Good bounce,
:11:41. > :11:49.good direction, just helps it along to the deep fine leg fielder. A
:11:50. > :11:53.much-needed breakthrough. India lose their first wicket, a very good
:11:54. > :12:07.innings from Rohit Sharma. Once again, he misses the 100. Oh, got
:12:08. > :12:12.him. Lovely from Pradeep and that is the perennial weakness of Virat
:12:13. > :12:15.Kohli. That is exactly what I said a couple of deliveries ago. That is a
:12:16. > :12:21.good line to Virat Kohli but you've got to be persistent and that's
:12:22. > :12:25.exactly what Pradeep did. A big wicket for Sri Lanka. India were
:12:26. > :12:31.taking the game away from them and an outside edge from the captain, an
:12:32. > :12:36.easy catch to the keeper and Sri Lanka find a way back in this game,
:12:37. > :12:39.a crucial game. India loses Virat Kohli, loses its second -- their
:12:40. > :12:48.second wicket. Short, no pace, all the time in the
:12:49. > :13:17.world to hit in front of square. Glorious. Dhawan is climbing into
:13:18. > :13:25.Malinga. This time pitched up and through the cover boundary. Power,
:13:26. > :13:35.Grace, it's exactly what you get in the morning of a cricket match.
:13:36. > :13:41.This time through the on-side, it will go all the way to the fence.
:13:42. > :13:47.Another boundary for Dhawan, another boundary in this over. The strength
:13:48. > :13:54.of this Indian side, short, not getting it high enough, just helping
:13:55. > :13:56.it. A good partnership building up, 17 of just 12 deliveries. That's why
:13:57. > :14:09.this batting line-up is so good. Through the off-side. No chance for
:14:10. > :14:17.the mid-off fielder. He is picking boundaries at will, Dhawan. He has
:14:18. > :14:25.hit three boundaries in his last three deliveries. On the up, big
:14:26. > :14:26.stride forward. Just lets the hansk go through. Typical left-hander's
:14:27. > :14:40.shot. Oh, bowled him. Very full ball,
:14:41. > :14:46.Yuvraj looking to chop it away behind square and all he has managed
:14:47. > :14:56.to do is chop it onto his stumps. Two spinners now, thinking would he
:14:57. > :15:08.be allowed to settle in but the bowling change has worked. Floated
:15:09. > :15:16.nicely. And that has been Karunaratne's strength, confusing
:15:17. > :15:26.the batsmen. -- Asela Gunaratne's strength. Sri Lanka liked it.
:15:27. > :15:30.Everybody but Mathews, who was scampering away after the ball, a
:15:31. > :15:33.big appeal. So Mathews will have to rely on the wicketkeeper and bowler
:15:34. > :15:47.and he has reviewed. Front foot is fine, can I check back
:15:48. > :15:52.foot as well, please? Who will go on Hot Spot, leg side for me, please.
:15:53. > :16:01.Doesn't seem as though there is any bat. Can I confirm with ultra-edge?
:16:02. > :16:08.Keep rolling it forward. Clearly know that. When ball tracking is
:16:09. > :16:13.ready, please. Richard, the ball is pitching outside leg stump, you can
:16:14. > :16:20.stay with your original decision, I will tell you when you are up on
:16:21. > :16:26.screen. Well done. Huge cheers from the Indian fans who, the moment that
:16:27. > :16:38.ball pitched outside leg stump, they know their cricket.
:16:39. > :16:46.That is an unbelievable shot. Short, wide, not an ideal ball, cut
:16:47. > :16:51.powerfully and you see the strength of the man, muscling it over third
:16:52. > :16:56.man for six. Yes, the strength of the wrists. We have seen it before
:16:57. > :17:00.from MS Dhoni, when he is able to hit those yorker is over the rope,
:17:01. > :17:02.but this was short. He really gets his wrists into it and carbs it away
:17:03. > :17:08.over third man. That's gone through. Just what he
:17:09. > :17:27.wanted. 200 comes up for India. It is also
:17:28. > :17:52.the end of the over. He's found the gap. Easy ball for
:17:53. > :17:54.Dhawan to get four. Good shot. One bounce, into the
:17:55. > :18:03.stands. Free flowing back from MS Dhoni,
:18:04. > :18:10.never uncomfortable with the short stuff.
:18:11. > :18:18.Well played. That has got to be a boundary. That is four runs and also
:18:19. > :18:26.the 104 Chicago one. His tenth one-day international hundred, his
:18:27. > :18:33.third in the international trophy. 101 not out four Chicago are one,
:18:34. > :18:42.with a strike rate of 90. -- for Dhawan. He was waiting for it,
:18:43. > :18:47.looking for the gap on the right point fielder and a very nicely put
:18:48. > :18:55.into the gap, nice 100 and look at the reactions. This time through the
:18:56. > :19:00.off-side, hits it hard. A chase for the long-off fielder, he doesn't get
:19:01. > :19:11.there. I thought that fielder at long-off would be a lot straighter.
:19:12. > :19:21.Does, and his scoops that for six. What a shot. Beard the shortfall all
:19:22. > :19:25.the full ball, he knew what he wanted to do, he walked across,
:19:26. > :19:32.picked the length and over the fine leg fielder. India on the rampage.
:19:33. > :19:41.Walks across, helps the length. 100 runs from here is possible.
:19:42. > :19:50.No chance for that fielder at mid-wicket.
:19:51. > :20:03.Another good shot. That has gone screaming to the left of the
:20:04. > :20:07.fielder. MS Dhoni dealing in boundaries. Right in the slot, the
:20:08. > :20:14.square drive, you don't see him playing that shot very often. Well,
:20:15. > :20:21.it was a full toss. I don't think anyone will get there. He does, but
:20:22. > :20:29.maybe got a bit too close to the ball. Should have been taken at this
:20:30. > :20:30.level. Slower delivery, the sweep from Shikhar Dhawan, the top edge.
:20:31. > :20:49.He gets there but gets too far. You will not find a cricket ball hit
:20:50. > :20:57.much harder than that, nor a couple of moments ago when he played one
:20:58. > :21:04.behind point. A lot of pitches go square here on the Oval but that was
:21:05. > :21:10.like a missile. Two field is back on the boundary, they tried valiantly
:21:11. > :21:14.to cut it off. You can see, right up the meat of the bat, good ground
:21:15. > :21:20.speed and a lot to think about for the Sri Lanka captain.
:21:21. > :21:34.Down to long-on, and safely taken. Mendis. Dhawan dragging it wide from
:21:35. > :21:39.of stump. Two men were up on the off-side, so Sri Lanka not offering
:21:40. > :21:42.wit. Dhawan went on to the on-side. A fantastic innings of 125 and just
:21:43. > :21:57.listen to this applause. Hit well enough into the crowd,
:21:58. > :22:08.short boundary. As much as the last delivery was a good variation...
:22:09. > :22:18.That is a big side, and that is why it is so difficult to clear that
:22:19. > :22:22.boundary and that is why bowlers will want them hitting there.
:22:23. > :22:29.Chopped it out to Perera, just opens the bat face. It is a long way, it
:22:30. > :22:32.is into the wind, it was never going to have the contact to take it all
:22:33. > :22:45.the distance. India lose their fifth.
:22:46. > :22:51.That's 54 MS Dhoni. -- that is 50 across place for MS Dhoni. His 17th
:22:52. > :22:57.against Sri Lanka. No, he's not? Oh, goodness. Some
:22:58. > :23:28.muscle, some power, to end the over. Brings up the 300 for India. Well
:23:29. > :23:30.judged by it MS Dhoni, didn't hit it too hard, just enough place to get
:23:31. > :23:38.it away. Wrong line, last ball of the over,
:23:39. > :23:54.again, wrong line. Airborne but not hit well enough.
:23:55. > :23:58.Caught in the deep. So an important wicket here to try and stem the tide
:23:59. > :24:05.for Sri Lanka, that wide delivery from Perera works a trick. He
:24:06. > :24:09.shimmied across, still trying to get into the leg side. It was too wide,
:24:10. > :24:15.went through with the shot and an easy catch for Chandimal. So a
:24:16. > :24:20.wonderful innings of 63 for MS Dhoni comes to an end.
:24:21. > :24:31.Jadhav on strike. That is beautifully done. It is a strong
:24:32. > :24:34.off-side field, 6-3, no one behind square on the leg side so any
:24:35. > :24:38.contact he can manage to get will take it away to the boundary. That
:24:39. > :24:45.was better than just any contact, that was right off the middle.
:24:46. > :24:49.Does well again. He is predicting the line and working himself across
:24:50. > :25:02.the stumps. Finds a gap. He has timed it to
:25:03. > :25:10.perfection but the boundary off the last ball of the innings -- hasn't
:25:11. > :25:11.timed it. 103 runs off the last ten overs and a fantastic effort by
:25:12. > :25:19.India. Well, India's usual plan of setting
:25:20. > :25:23.targets throughout their innings paid off as controlled batting from
:25:24. > :25:29.openers Rohit Sharma and Dhawan built a platform for a large total.
:25:30. > :25:33.Dhawan's 125 was an outstanding balance knock and with 78, Sharma
:25:34. > :25:37.looked to be getting back to his best. One blip was a duck for
:25:38. > :25:44.Captain Virat Kohli but MS Dhoni then scored a remarkable 62nd
:25:45. > :25:50.international half-century to help them to 321-6 in their 50 overs. The
:25:51. > :25:54.Sri Lankans fast bowlers never looked threatening and failed to
:25:55. > :25:57.turn the screw at opportunities, like the early dismissal of Virat
:25:58. > :26:00.Kohli, although Malinga used his experience in the latter overs.
:26:01. > :26:08.Their road McDermid over rate could again prove a problem, the captain
:26:09. > :26:13.suspended after the last game and again, they were over time.
:26:14. > :26:17.Another score of over 300, the batting looks in very good shape.
:26:18. > :26:22.Yes, confident unit when it comes to batting. Again, a great foundation
:26:23. > :26:32.lead by the openers, very happy to do the job and finished off really
:26:33. > :26:35.well by MS Dhoni. A solid foundation in good nick, yourself, a long-time
:26:36. > :26:38.outcome injury and a bit of cricket in the IPL, you must be delighted
:26:39. > :26:43.with the start were made in tournament. I was itching to get
:26:44. > :26:48.back to the field and now that I am back on the field, very happy to be
:26:49. > :26:51.here and contributing. It is very important, we all know the
:26:52. > :26:56.importance of this tournament. We took it from where we left in the
:26:57. > :27:00.last game. The whole batting unit looked very confident in their
:27:01. > :27:05.approach and, yes, the job is half done and I'm pretty confident the
:27:06. > :27:11.bowlers will do the rest of the job. So a target of 322 from their 50
:27:12. > :27:15.overs for Sri Lanka to win this game and stay in the tournament. Without
:27:16. > :27:25.the batting strength in depth of their opponent, it looks like a
:27:26. > :27:29.sizeable task ahead. Dickwella and Gunathilaka begin the Sri Lanka run
:27:30. > :27:45.chase. Top edge, and should be gone. And is
:27:46. > :27:49.gone. So Dickwella, whether he moves around the crease or not, he won't
:27:50. > :27:55.be moving around the too much longer. India have their first
:27:56. > :28:00.wicket. Yes, a big wicket here for India. Dickwella is the danger man,
:28:01. > :28:07.he can get Sri Lanka off to a fast start. They have set the field, gone
:28:08. > :28:11.slightly more defensive. Kumar was superb with his line and length,
:28:12. > :28:15.didn't give anything away for free, the pressure was built and he chops
:28:16. > :28:17.it in the air. India have the breakthrough, they have the runs on
:28:18. > :28:21.the board and now they have the initial breakthrough.
:28:22. > :28:30.Line and length the same. Strong shot. Really strong shot and the
:28:31. > :28:35.first boundary for Gunathilaka and Sri Lanka are 15-1.
:28:36. > :28:41.Very pleasant. He is a nice, upright player, tall and elegant in his
:28:42. > :28:51.stroke play, Gunathilaka. Can't get better than this. If any
:28:52. > :29:01.young player is watching, that is the best place to hit.
:29:02. > :29:13.Almost took out Mendis at the other end. Well run away. Uncontrolled
:29:14. > :29:22.from Mendis, but it brings up 54 Sri Lanka.
:29:23. > :29:34.Got enough room. Flayed the back at it. A boundary for Mendis. The
:29:35. > :29:40.moment you bowl a bouncer. That is a drop hit very hard and straight.
:29:41. > :29:45.Unfortunately, his reflexes were not quick enough to catch up with that.
:29:46. > :29:49.It would have been a disastrous wicket for Sri Lanka. That is why
:29:50. > :29:58.they want to use the short ball, because the next ball is right up.
:29:59. > :30:06.That's a fantastic shot. Pitched up, met with absolute brute force, it
:30:07. > :30:12.straight back down. Very good shot. Nothing wrong with the ball,
:30:13. > :30:23.everything right about the shot. And its 50 up for the left-hander, a
:30:24. > :30:28.very stylish player. What a way to bring up your half-century. Front
:30:29. > :30:29.foot, down the track, a short ball, and it just shows you what you can
:30:30. > :30:46.do. Chipped shot. The fielder in the
:30:47. > :30:51.deep has missed that completely. That's a great shot. Back quickly,
:30:52. > :31:00.pulled with authority, sending a clear message to the Indian bowlers.
:31:01. > :31:06.Beautifully played. No one at the deep mid-wicket. You have to have
:31:07. > :31:12.five men in the circle. The vacant area is deep mid-wicket, and Mendis
:31:13. > :31:13.is cashing in. With his high percentage of balls and lbws Mendis
:31:14. > :31:27.has played this well. Missed the game against Bangladesh.
:31:28. > :31:33.Again, the vacant mid-wicket area is peppered by Mendis. Use of the feet.
:31:34. > :31:44.60 from 55 deliveries, a wonderful innings. Reverse sweep, and he gets
:31:45. > :31:46.it away. All of a sudden, Jadeja, who bowled superbly against
:31:47. > :31:54.Pakistan, finds itself under pressure. They are in such a
:31:55. > :32:05.wonderful position here, the Sri Lankans, that is. Sensible cricket.
:32:06. > :32:12.Beautifully put away. A bit of wit this time. Calves it behind the
:32:13. > :32:23.square. A wonderful over from Sri Lanka. That is hit up in the air.
:32:24. > :32:27.Oh, just popped out. I think he grabbed hold of it but as the elbows
:32:28. > :32:33.hit the ground it popped out. A valiant effort by Rohit Sharma.
:32:34. > :32:45.Really good effort. You would have thought maybe they would take a
:32:46. > :32:54.backward step thinking they did not want to lose the wicket but the next
:32:55. > :32:58.delivery, Mendis over the top. They have bought themselves 4.2 overs of
:32:59. > :33:05.extra credit here, Sri Lanka. In control at the moment.
:33:06. > :33:09.Top edge, over the wicketkeeper, and it will fall safely. One bounce,
:33:10. > :33:29.another boundary. That one is much better contact, a
:33:30. > :33:34.much better shot. An expensive over for India. 15 from it. Can he be The
:33:35. > :33:48.Man With The Golden Gun hand? He dragged the first one down and
:33:49. > :33:55.that was put away easily. Mendis has looked impressive for his 73. Yes, a
:33:56. > :34:01.young man who has graduated from the School of 2014 and the ICC under 19
:34:02. > :34:09.World Cup. Rabada also graduated from that year.
:34:10. > :34:16.Thinking about two again. He decides to come, and this could be close.
:34:17. > :34:23.There is the opportunity, and I think it has been created and taken.
:34:24. > :34:47.The Sri Lankans will be very nervous.
:34:48. > :34:53.Brad Kohli bought himself on to try and get a breakthrough but he did
:34:54. > :35:01.not think it would be through a run out. -- Kohli.
:35:02. > :35:08.That was a very average delivery. Mendis, sitting on 74, is not going
:35:09. > :35:45.to miss out on that. Got him. Brilliant from Kumar.
:35:46. > :35:52.Mendis is struggling here. He is flat out on the turf. It was an all
:35:53. > :35:56.most suicidal run. No pace off the bat, well within reach of the
:35:57. > :36:02.bowler. One run out already in the innings, and he was well short. This
:36:03. > :36:08.is exactly what India wanted and Sri Lanka did not need. Not the smartest
:36:09. > :36:12.bit of cricket. It might not have been the best run but it was a
:36:13. > :36:15.brilliant piece of fielding from Kumar, following through, picking
:36:16. > :36:21.up, getting the throw away quickly and knocking down the stumps. And
:36:22. > :36:26.sometimes those moments of magic can change the game.
:36:27. > :36:39.Sri Lanka need 116 from the final 15 overs. Two relatively new men at the
:36:40. > :36:45.crease. What a shot that was. Beautiful shot. Jadeja going around
:36:46. > :36:46.the wicket to try and cram him up. Not giving too much room outside
:36:47. > :36:55.off-stump. Nice shot. Just a little flick off
:36:56. > :37:09.the hip. That has gone over the top. One
:37:10. > :37:13.bounce, over the ropes, it is going to be four. They are charging the
:37:14. > :37:19.bowler again. 11 runs from that last over.
:37:20. > :37:26.Good shot. Good shot. This time he goes off the front foot and manages
:37:27. > :37:34.to get it over mid-wicket for a boundary.
:37:35. > :37:38.That is his hitting zone. He loves to go in that direction, picking up
:37:39. > :37:51.length balls in that fashion. That is going to be four. Slightly
:37:52. > :37:59.off line. The fine leg was inside the circle. Another wrist shot for
:38:00. > :38:03.four. Brings up the 50 partnership between these two. At any stage,
:38:04. > :38:07.when you have a left-hander and right-hander at the crease, you need
:38:08. > :38:18.to adjust your lines as a bowler. He did not do so. Slow ball. The
:38:19. > :38:24.captain was on the boundary. He was deceived. Chipped it up in the air.
:38:25. > :38:31.He was way back on the boundary and could not get in in time.
:38:32. > :38:45.He let that through. He is kicking the ground. The captain is livid.
:38:46. > :39:06.Well above the rate required. Right in the slot for him. Well
:39:07. > :39:14.done, Matthews. This is when the pressure builds up.
:39:15. > :39:24.Ideally, you want a boundary as early in the over as possible to
:39:25. > :39:32.take the pressure off. Terrific cricket. Outstanding from Sri Lanka,
:39:33. > :39:37.from one of their class players. They changed the field, pushed
:39:38. > :39:42.long-off back, brought up fine leg and square leg, and he just waddles
:39:43. > :39:51.across, gets underneath it, fix it over. I think this is sensible.
:39:52. > :39:55.Perera has gone. He can't run. He has gone in the hamstring, he has
:39:56. > :40:00.torn his hamstring. The worst thing to happen now would be for him to
:40:01. > :40:04.either run out Angelo Mathews, or because he can't move, put extra
:40:05. > :40:08.pressure on Angelo Mathews, and Angelo Mathews to get out. This is
:40:09. > :40:19.sensible. He can always come back later. Pulled away, and pulled away
:40:20. > :40:26.for six. A sketchy start from Gunnar Rattner, -- Gunaratne.
:40:27. > :40:40.It should be four. A short boundary. There is a man very square on the
:40:41. > :40:56.single so fine leg is quite fine. It just races away once it gets
:40:57. > :40:58.there. Just a knuckleball, slower ball. He picked it very well. Still
:40:59. > :41:10.one delivery to go. Slashed away behind square. Another
:41:11. > :41:13.terrific over for Sri Lanka. 11 runs from it, a couple of crunching
:41:14. > :41:27.boundaries square of the wicket. That is an unbelievable shot.
:41:28. > :41:31.Unbelievable shot. Down on one knee. One of the best bowlers at the death
:41:32. > :41:40.in the world, and he swept him for six. Probably the best shot of the
:41:41. > :41:45.game, at the right moment. It has just stunned the Indian fielders.
:41:46. > :41:51.Sweep. I can tell you, that has gone a long, long way. It has gone high
:41:52. > :42:00.and it has gone the distance. Very good shot. Away to the point
:42:01. > :42:06.boundary. The bowlers have been bowling slower balls and into the
:42:07. > :42:14.surface, trying to get the batsmen to hit into the wind to the longer
:42:15. > :42:21.boundary. That is a fantastic way to go to 50 and take your side to the
:42:22. > :42:27.brink of a remarkable victory. The composure of the man is shown in
:42:28. > :42:31.that shot. Held the Czech Drive, pumped it down the ground, barely
:42:32. > :42:36.acknowledged the 50 because he knows the game is still to be one, but his
:42:37. > :42:45.side are now on the brink. Very good cricket shot. Breaks the 50
:42:46. > :42:51.partnership as well. 50 from 33. He has played a captain's knock. And
:42:52. > :42:56.that will do it. A famous victory for Sri Lanka at a famous old
:42:57. > :43:00.cricket ground, which keeps them in the tournament. Angelo Mathews
:43:01. > :43:05.raises his bat in triumph, finishing unbeaten on 52. Huge smiles from the
:43:06. > :43:10.Sri Lankans in the dressing room. They have beaten India fair and
:43:11. > :43:13.square. India played well with the bat but we'll be asking themselves
:43:14. > :43:18.questions of their performance in the field and with the ball, because
:43:19. > :43:25.Sri Lanka have won the run chase comfortably. Playing for each other,
:43:26. > :43:29.believing in themselves. They talked about being a young team and they
:43:30. > :43:33.played like one. Here we have Angelo Mathews, the winning single,
:43:34. > :43:39.pointing to his stressing room, showing his name on the back of his
:43:40. > :43:44.sweater. Cometh the hour,, the man. And Angelo Mathews has always been a
:43:45. > :43:52.man for a crisis. Leading Sri Lanka again to a famous victory.
:43:53. > :43:57.Losing Dickwella was an early blip in the batting but a superb 159
:43:58. > :44:04.partnership turned the prospect of victory into a very real one. After
:44:05. > :44:09.those two were run out, Perera and Gunaratne continued in a similar
:44:10. > :44:12.vein and brought Sri Lanka home for a surprising but deserved win. The
:44:13. > :44:18.Indian bowlers offered little the way of threat. Virat Kohli even
:44:19. > :44:22.turned over his arm in an attempt to conjure a wicket and they managed a
:44:23. > :44:24.couple of runouts but there was not enough cutting-edge on a good
:44:25. > :44:30.batting wicket with a fast outfield for them to defend their total. The
:44:31. > :44:34.second shock result in as many days in the champion strophe, as a
:44:35. > :44:37.superbly judged batting display saw Sri Lanka secure a win of India with
:44:38. > :44:46.seven wickets and eight balls to spare. Where does this rank for you?
:44:47. > :44:51.It is one of the top wins. To be in India, a fantastic wicket. The
:44:52. > :44:56.bowlers started off well and to restrict the strong batting line up
:44:57. > :45:02.to 321 was good. 300 plus is reachable on these wickets. Did you
:45:03. > :45:07.feel you left some runs out there in your batting effort? I don't think
:45:08. > :45:10.so. We felt we had enough on the board halfway and we trusted our
:45:11. > :45:15.bowlers, but they were pretty good on the day. To chase down that
:45:16. > :45:18.total, to get the momentum going through the innings, credit to their
:45:19. > :45:24.batsmen, the way they apply themselves. They picked their areas
:45:25. > :45:28.and execute the shots well. I think we bowled decently, but they were
:45:29. > :45:34.batting really well. Setting yourself up for the next game of the
:45:35. > :45:39.tournament. What does this mean? It is a must win game for all of us now
:45:40. > :45:43.in the group. We came into the game and not many people expected us to
:45:44. > :45:48.win. That took a lot of pressure off. We went out and expressed
:45:49. > :45:53.ourselves. That was the plan and that will be the plan for the next
:45:54. > :45:58.game, too. It is all to play for in group B with all four teams on two
:45:59. > :46:04.points. India topped the group by a narrow margin. Sri Lanka are third.
:46:05. > :46:08.In the final round of matches, it is India against South Africa on Sunday
:46:09. > :46:13.and Sri Lanka face Pakistan in Cardiff on Monday. All four teams
:46:14. > :46:17.can still make the semifinals. The focus moves to group a tomorrow but
:46:18. > :47:37.after a dramatic day at the Oval, goodbye.
:47:38. > :47:40.For the first time, the Science Museum is opening its doors
:47:41. > :47:47.so you can vote for Britain's greatest invention.
