India take 2-1 lead

BBC ONLINE, undated
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina made half centuries as India beat Sri Lanka by 33 runs in Colombo to take a 2-1 lead in their one -day series.
Dhoni hit 76 off 80 balls and Raina made 53 as the tourists reached 237-9 after choosing to bat first.
It all looked plain sailing as Sri Lanka slumped to 94-7 in reply
Mahe1 a Jayawardene responded with 94 but he fell in the 46th over and Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel took three wickets each as Sri Lanka were all out for 204.
India made a stuttering start to the game after choosing to bat first as Nuwan Kulasekera removed Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh cheaply and teenager Virat Kohli was run out for 25 by Chamara Silva's direct hit at the bowler's end from mid-wicket.
The introduction of spin saw the end of Subramaniam Badrinath. who charged down the pitch at Ajantha Mcndis but only succeeded in giving a catch to mid-off.
India needed to consolidate and Raina rose to the challenge with a 75-ball half-century which included a towering six off Mendis.
He was eventually run out by Tillakaratne Dilshan in the 35th over, but Dhoni took on the senior role for his team as he and Rohit Sharma (32) added 67 in 11 overs.
Dhoni struck eight fours and was there until the penultimate over as India left Sri Lanka with a far from eAsy target under lights.
The home side soon found out how difficult a task it would be as Pravccn Kumar had veteran Sanath Jayasuriya caught behind for 13 and Zaheer Khan trapped Kumar Sangakkara lbw for nine in
the following over.
The India seamers continued to exploit the conditions with Zaheer,
in particular, bowling superbly for figures of3-23fromhis 10 overs.
It looked like Sri Lanka would struggle to play out their overs when Kulasekera became the seventh man out. trapped leg-before by Yuvraj's left-arm spin.
But Jayawardene refused to give up the chase and found an unexpected ally in Thilan Thusara, who contributed 30 to an 81-run partnership.
He was eventually bowled by Patel and Jayawardene followed when, with an 11th one-day century in sight, he attempted to paddle a ball from the same bowler towards fine leg and only succeeded giving a running catch to Kumar.
Patel completed the job three overs later by bowling last man Muttiah Muralitharan to leave India needing one win from the two remaining matches to clinch the series.
