Rahul Dravid, standing in as captain, did well to marshall his resources and his bowlers responded in kind. Mahela Jayawardene failed again, making just five runs before being caught behind off the bowling of Badani. Marwan Atapattu did well in making 34 runs but was dismissed by Virender Shewag in the 40th over with the score reading 160. Chamindaa Vaas (5) was the very next batsman to go in the 41st over, caught by Laxman off the bowling of Harbhajan Singh. Sri Lanka were 166/5 at that stage.
