N Saini to D Gunathilaka, OUT! KABOOM! That is a corker of a yorker! Too quick, just too quick for the batter. Also, this was brilliantly set-up. He bowled three short balls but this time bowls a yorker at 147.5 KPH. Gunathilaka looked to make room and go big but he fails to get his bat down in time and the stumps are shattered. Gunathilaka hopes to have some luck as the umpires tell him to wait as they check for the no ball. But no such luck is to be found for him as Saini is good with his stepping. Both the Sri Lankan openers back in the hut here and India right on top at the moment. A good passage of play this for them after the Powerplay.
