After 42 overs, the left-arm seamers Zaheer Khan and Ashish nehra were brought back into the attack and they did well to polish off the Sri Lankan innings. Suresh Perera (4) could not produce any of his big hitting magic; he was cleaned up by a Zaheer Khan yorker. The resistance of Russel Arnold (11) ended when he square cut Nehra straight into the hands of Yuvraj Singh at point. Dharamasena (1) fell to Khan and the unorthodox batting of Muttiah Muralitharan came to an end when Nehra yorked him. Sangakkara (2) was the last man to be dismissed, he was run out by Dravid and the Sri Lankan innings came to a grinding halt at 183 in 46.5 overs.
