Sri Lanka 170 (46.1 ov)
India 171/4 (34.3 ov) Sehwag.99* not out,
Randiv to Sehwag, 1 no ball, match is over, but Sehwag has been denied the century. And this is a big no-ball, must I point out? His back foot was close to over-steeping, forget about the front foot. Anyway Sehwag smashed it for six over long-off, but they don't count because the game finishes at no-ball. He raises his arms, but then realises the century is not completed. Doesn't matter to him. He says: "It often happens. When a batsman is on 99 and the scores are level, bowlers try to bowl no-balls and wides. It happens in cricket. Fair enough." What a man
Virender Sehwag, MoM
"It happens in cricket. The other team doesn't want anybody to score a hundred against them. They tried their best. Doesn't matter to me, 99 or 100. Yeah I was also looking for the six, but... four byes and the no-ball. We were thinking of the bonus point. We were discussing between the overs. Luckily we got there." And Tony Greig says, "I don't think it was lucky, it was very well played."
Praveen Kumar removed Upul Tharanga with the first ball of the match
Thilan Samaraweera was sent on his way by Ishant Sharma
