India in trouble!!  

Posted by Michael Scofield




The final test match between India and Sri Lanka seems to be swinging in Sri Lanka's favor. The hosts piled up useful runs in the third day of the Test Match. The hosts started at 251 for 6 just 2 runs ahead of India. But Sangakarra had other ideas. He battled it out and took the score past 300. He was dismissed for a well made 144 and the score was 324. India would have thought by then that they could easily seal the match. But they were mistaken. The tail enders put on 72 runs adding insult to injury. The lead for the Lankans was 147. Indians then resumed their second innings. Sehwag and Gambhir as usual gave them a blistering start but however it was short lived. Sehwag was dismissed by a sharp catch by Samaraweera of the bowling of Prasad. Prasad's second victim was Gambhir who was bowled for 24. India seemed that they were moving into the jaws of defeat. Mendis picked up Sachin and Patel while Murali picked up Ganguly. India are 161 for 5 just 14 runs ahead of the Lankans with just 5 wickets in hand. Can India repeat the 2001 history? Lets wait and watch.
