Charith Asalanka 29(64)

57.6
W
Bumrah to Asalanka, out Lbw!! The full, sucking customary off-cutter. 124.6kph. Asalanka shuffles, looks to defend forward, and plays down the wrong line. It's been a trend all innings. Five dismissals, five LBWs, five of them misreading the line. This one needs some help from the DRS though, with India reviewing at the very last second, to find the ball straightening after pitching and hitting the top of middle. Asalanka lbw b Bumrah 29(64) [4s-5]
57.5
4
Bumrah to Asalanka, FOUR, 134.8kph, slightly short, sitting up with width, and Asalanka cuts it off the front foot, through an empty point
57.4
Bumrah to Asalanka, no run, 141.6kph, length, fifth-stump, leaning defence to cover
57.3
Bumrah to Asalanka, no run, 144kph, proper yorker. But Asalanka's up to it, or rather down to it, digging it out in time
57.2
Bumrah to Asalanka, no run, 142kph, fuller, tailing back in on middle. Driven back down the pitch
57.1
Bumrah to Asalanka, no run, 140.1kph, length, on middle, tight. Shuffling, behind-the-line defence
56.6
Ashwin to Asalanka, 1 run, clipped out to backward square leg, and a real quick one pinched
56.5
4
Ashwin to Asalanka, FOUR, another sweep, with a huge stride out, to the pitch of it, and not even trying to keep it down. It's that cleanly struck, over square leg
56.4
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, a quicker one, very full, solidly blocked again
56.3
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, tossed up, slow, on off, front-footed defence
56.2
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, on the back foot, poking in front to a delivery that's pretty full. Draws the outside-edge, but dips well in front of slip
56.1
4
Ashwin to Asalanka, FOUR, drifting in on middle, and Asalanka sweeps. It's nice and full, in the slot as well, and isn't turning much either. Also mid-wicket is left open, exactly where this is nailed
54.3
Ashwin to Asalanka, 1 run, some turn, drawing Asalanka forward, dipping on him, taking the outside-edge, and rolling past slip
54.2
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, shuffles, and watches the ball spin away outside off
54.1
Ashwin to Asalanka, 2 runs, a tossed up carrot dangled, and Asalanka dances down, making room as he does, to inside-out this over extra cover. Streaky!
52.6
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, completely bamboozled -- a carrom ball that Asalanka leaves, gets struck on the back foot. And a huge LBW appeal, which Ashwin is very keen on taking upstairs. Alas, Pant doesn't let him. The impact's clearly outside off, and the replays show it isn't spinning back in enough
52.5
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, a bit fuller, and Asalanka's defence gets all the more easier
52.4
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, drift, turn, taking the outside-edge on Asalanka's block. It's very soft though, dying a couple of times before rolling away to slip
52.3
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, more loop, a lot fuller, and Asalanka keeps up with his forward defences
52.2
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, looped up, fuller, drawing Asalanka forward, to smother

49.6

49.5
Shami to Asalanka, no run, yorker, swinging in late. Jammed out to mid-on after getting his front leg across
49.4
Shami to Asalanka, no run, full, angling in on middle. Asalanka gets his weight across and flicks it to mid-wicket
49.3
Shami to Asalanka, no run, some late swing away, wobbly too, but after Asalanka leaves it in the channel
49.2
Shami to Asalanka, no run, length, angling in on off, forward punch to mid-off
49.1
Shami to Asalanka, no run, full, outside off, holding its line, ignored
48.5
Ashwin to Asalanka, 1 run, nearly chipped to extra cover. Inside-outed, but not in control, and is very lucky that it drops short
48.4
4
Ashwin to Asalanka, FOUR, slightly overpitched, and Asalanka goes hard on a drive, to end up squirting it off the outside-edge past slip. Streaky stuff this
48.3
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, proper ripper this -- flight, dip, bounce and beating Asalanka completely as he defends inside the line, with the ball beating the outside-edge, and somehow, I0$ missing the top of off
48.2
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, loopy, drifting in on middle, lunging block
48.1
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, a touch short, flat, just outside off. Asalanka hangs back to punch it to point

45.5
Shami to Asalanka, no run, 135kph, back of a length, swinging in, and ending up down leg, past the glance
45.4
Shami to Asalanka, no run, tighter, good length on off, Asalanka presses forward, and blocks
45.3
Shami to Asalanka, no run, on the back foot, lining up to Shami's wide-of-the-crease in-angling delivery, to tap it to cover
45.2
Shami to Asalanka, no run, 135kph, absolute peach. In the corridor, straightening off the deck, and beating the tentative poke
45.1
4
Shami to Asalanka, FOUR, 135.4kph, a neatly controlled pull, getting into position quickly, using Shami's short sitter to good effect, to swivel, roll his wrists on it, and nail it through square leg
44.4
Ashwin to Asalanka, 1 run, charges down, slices hard, and flies very quickly to Rohit at short cover, but it doesn't stick, with the ball popping up off his palms in front of his face. Okay, it technically is a drop
44.3
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, presses in front, waits for the dip, and blocks under his nose
44.2
Ashwin to Asalanka, no run, drifting in a touch, but still very full, and an inside-out defence to cover

Shami to Asalanka, no run, around the fourth stump, good length, punched to mid-off
43.1
Shami to Asalanka, no ball, 133kph, tight stuff -- length, on off, and defended down the pitch. The front foot's not tight though
41.6
Jadeja to Asalanka, no run, full, on middle, wristed out to mid-on
41.5
Jadeja to Asalanka, no run, stretches forward and smothers it into the pitch with the turn

41.3
Jadeja to Asalanka, no run, full, quick, on off, smothered our
41.2
Jadeja to Asalanka, no run, big LBW appeal -- with the ball dipping sharply and spinning past Asalanka's forward defence to hit him in front of middle. It clearly would have gone down leg, and there perhaps was a bit of bat in it as well
41.1
Jadeja to Asalanka, no run, full, outside off, leaning wrist to mid-on
39.6
Jadeja to Asalanka, no run, tossed up, drawing Asalanka forward on off, for a smother
39.5
Jadeja to Asalanka, no run, another LBW appeal, another one given onfield, another one reviewed. It is full, spinning in, with Asalanka playing down the wrong line entirely, and getting struck on the front knee roll in front of off. But Jadeja has gotten a lot of spin on it, and ball-tracking shows it to be missing leg-stump comfortably
