4.4
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, out Caught by Jadeja!! This was coming. The end of Dickwella's struggle. Stay away from the coach and the captain sir! He's developed great variations over the last couple years, has Bhuvi. This is a lovely knuckle ball that has no pace. Dickwella obviously did not pick it. Played completely across the line when a cover-drive would have been a better shot with the ball being outside off stump and going across the left-hander. Only manages to get a leading edge that goes to Jaddu at backward point. Excellent shot for India. Dickwella c Jadeja b Bhuvneshwar 7(18)
4.3
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, no run, defended from the crease
4.2
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, no run, okay, the captain will not be happy with Dickwella's efforts. Not that he hasn't scored runs, but the way he's gone about and played thus far. Very lazy feet, needlessly shuffling around and swinging the bat without much of application. This is full and angled across, a really bad swipe across the line, comprehensively beaten
4.1
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, no run, looked like the slower ball, oh yes, 118kph, Dickwella had to wait for a fraction of a second to tap this rising back of a length delivery to point. It was the knuckle ball indeed
3.6
U Yadav to Gunathilaka, no run, defended into the off-side
3.4
U Yadav to Dickwella, no run, and again. Dickwella is struggling at the crease and Umesh is targetting the batsman's body everytime he dances around in the crease. This was a shortish delivery from the bowler, Dickwella somehow managed to defend off the back foot
3.3
U Yadav to Gunathilaka, 1 run, this one escapes past backward point off the outer half of the bat. Again the bat face was closed early
3.2
U Yadav to Dickwella, wide, thankfully, this was high enough for Dickwella to duck under the ball. Good bowling from Umesh. Followed Dickwella as he went leg-side, banged the ball short, Dickwella was in no position to play the ball, let it go and the umpire didn't like the height on this one
3.1
U Yadav to Dickwella, no run, this is ugly batting from Dickwella. Firstly, he is not moving his feet or willing to come on the front foot, now he tries to unsettle the bowler by shuffling in the crease, moved off-side initially and then backed away, slashed at this short of length delivery, only to make contact with thin air
2.6
Bhuvneshwar to Gunathilaka, no run, good length delivery outside off stump, Gunathilaka pushes it to mid-off
2.4
Bhuvneshwar to Gunathilaka, 1 run, had Kohli not lost balance while picking up this ball at mid-off in his tumbling effort, things could have been very interesting at the bowler's end. Gunathilaka pushed this towards VK and set off, he was only halfway down the pitch when Kohli got to the ball
1.6
U Yadav to Gunathilaka, no run, oh that's almost off the leading edge. Gunathilaka wanted to flick gently on the on-side, but the ball left him late and went to mid-off. He asked Dickwella to stay at the other end, when he was keen on a run
1.3
U Yadav to Dickwella, no run, got to bowl full to this man early in his innings. Absolutely no front foot movement. Back of a length and just moving away, Dickwella uses his hands to great effect to guide the ball from the middle of the bat, but backward point cut it off
1.2
U Yadav to Gunathilaka, 1 run, shortish and on the leg stump, Gunathilaka works it behind square on the on-side
0.5
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, no run, good length delivery just outside off stump, Dickwella defends off the back foot
0.4
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, no run, yes-no, direct-hit would have been the end of Gunathilaka. Dickwella defended this good length delivery towards square leg, Gunathilaka took off for a run, Dickwella sent him back, Jadhav could have taken his time, but he threw at the bowler's end and missed
0.3
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, 2 runs, whipped away past the man at mid-wicket, Umesh Yadav hunts it down in the deep just before the rope with a sliding save
0.2
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, no run, lazy feet from Dickwella again. Not leaning forward. Tries to defend this short of length delivery, gets an inside edge onto pad
0.1
Bhuvneshwar to Dickwella, no run, poor shot from Dickwella first ball. Half-hearted. Full and wide outside off stump, not much of swing, there are two slips in place, wanted to play and then took his bat away, could so easily have been an edge to one of the slips
