After this Lasith Malinga also catches Sachin Tendulkar behind the wicket. India's score gets 31 runs for two wickets. Gautam Gambhir (97) held one end. He plays an 83-run partnership in 15.3 overs with Virat Kohli (35) and then adds 109 runs in 19.4 overs for the fourth wicket with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (91 not out).
