India were off to a shocking start; Shewag (4) was brilliantly run out by Arnold's direct hit, backing down the track a bit too much, in the second over. With the following ball of the over, the Sri Lankan pace sensation Dilhara Fernando dealt a big blow, Sourav Ganguly (1) was caught by Arnold at point. Rahul Dravid (21) disappointed by dragging a quick ball from Fernando on to his stumps. VVS Laxman (37) played a bit too early and gave a simple catch to Jaywardene at mid-wicket off the bowling of Dharmasena. India's last hope was Yuvraj Singh (6), he was cleaned up by a quick one by the man for all seasons, Russel Arnold. India were thrown deep into despair, 100/5 in 23.1 overs.
