Watch cricket highlights: India vs Sri Lanka Day 3 of the 1st Test being played at Ahmedabad.
Scoreline: Sri Lanka 591/5 Mahela Jayawardene 204 no, Prasanna Jayawardene 84 no, Samaraweera 70
Even the listless Indian bowling and general demeanour in the field can’t take away from the class and significance (which often is one of the traits associated with a Mahela big knock). On a cursory level it might appear to be a knock that slowed up in its later half through defensive/negative tactics by India and physical exhaustion (as mentioned by Mahela postmatch). But its first 30 runs yesterday, set itself up by intimidation through use-of-feet against the spinners, resulting in a dispersed field right through today.
When Dravid was culling out his 170 odd, he was kept interested by the Lankan bowlers who looked at least keen when they turned up for a new spell. In contrast, Mahela looked almost bored at times today.
The fact that SL didn’t really push in the final session might call into doubt the possibility of a result (assuming India bat out roughly 4 sessions over the next 2 days), but given the manner in which Mahela can easily up the tempo, it’s still on. Of course, there’s the other possibility – whenever India bat, Sehwag goes nuts, knocks off the deficit, Tendulkar and the rest pile on a 200 plus target and Kumble rejoins the team and bowls the Lankans out in two sessions.

Sri lanka will win this test for sure.
well done mahela….
Wow what a pathetic bowling performance by India. You can tell they are not motivated to play. They seem useless and overpaid, just good for coming in tv commercials and dance shows. Thats what money and hype does. Kills all the talent.
well done m.jayawardana & p.jayawardana & t.samarawera superb
All Lanka lians pray to win SriLanka
JAYVEVA…
India has lost the advantage. Now it depends on how well they bat in the second innings.
lolololol, kumble comes back and knocks them out two sessions. he should bring piyush chawla with him for good measure too instead of the ever scowling and moody amit mishra
match draw
Dhoni’s captaincy is starting to show it’s weaknesses. He is a great captain when things go well. I’ve seen a couple of times he is rather subdued and seems out of ideas when things go bad. Couldn’t motivate his team, was going with the flow, wasn’t forcing the issue. Was a boring day of cricket from the Indians just letting things happen. Credit to the Lankans for taking advantage of it.
sri lanka going to win
it’S gonna be a draw…a waste of time..what’s the point of playing for 5 days staright if your not gonna take any risks…i’m referring to the sri lankan captaincy.
