6.5	Vaas to Uthappa, OUT, Got him! Short of a good length, on the off, Uthappa crashes that one back down the pitch. It's hit hard but to the left of Chaminda Vaas who moves aside watchfully, keeps his eyes on the ball and pulls off a stunning catch. That is some catch from the crafty left-arm seamer! 

10.5	Vaas to Ganguly, OUT, Oh! Got 'em. Having been bogged down for a few deliveries, Ganguly tries to break the shackles. He coems down the track and tries to launch it over mid-off. The ball is a canny Vass off-cutter and leaves the batsman. Ganguly can only manage a thick edge and the ball balloons wide of mid-on, where Muralitharan rushes back and stretches full to pull off a beauty. He dropped Uthappa earlier (that was a tough chance) but there was no way he was going to let this go. His team-mates mob him in celebration 

11.3	Fernando to Tendulkar, OUT, and Tendulkar goes! Could this be his last World Cup innings? The ball pitched outside off stump, nipped back, Tendulkar lunged forward, the ball hit the inside edge of the bat and crashed into leg stump, huge huge wicket for Sri Lanka and India are fading away. 

22.5	Muralitharan to Sehwag, OUT, Big wicket. Murali takes out Sehwag and India slip further as Sri Lanka tighten the screws. It was floated outside the off stump, Sehwag leans forward, and opens the bat-face as he tries to drive - he had been beaten earlier in this over, trying to play a similar shot, this time connects and sends it straight to Mahela who swoops low at slip to take the sharp catch. Sri Lanka are climbing all over India. Bangladeshi fans must be whooping in delight. 

27.4	Jayasuriya to Dravid, OUT, Tragedy for Yuvraj. Joy for Sri Lanka. Drifting in on the middle and leg stump line, nudged to wards short fine leg. Yuvraj rushes across like a express train - it was his call as it went behind the stumps but there was no run in it , Dravid sends him back and Yuvraj can't make it. The throw went slightly wide of the stumps - like how Steve Waugh's throw came to Boon who ran out the last man in the 1992 World Cup, and here, Jayasuriya moves to his right, gathers and whips the bails off. Yuvraj was no where in sight. It was his call, all right, but I don't think Dravid would have made it to the other side. The short-fine leg fielder was pretty close and it was Arnold there and he swooped there like a hawk 

28.1	Muralitharan to Dhoni, OUT, Dhoni walks for a lbw. It was that plumb. Fab delivery. Landed on the middle stump line and hurried on straight - a stunning toppie, Dhoni had backed to cut and he had no place to hide. Tried to get his bat down in a hurry but the ball rushes on and rams the pad. Dead duck. What a bowler!
