Just when it looked like India would chase down any target in their sleep, Tornado Dananjaya struck Pallekele at high velocity. 23 minutes was all it took as India's middle-order trudged in and walked back in no time. As many as three fell in an over, all to the googly as Dananjaya evoked memories of a certain Ajantha Mendis.

Jadhav, Kohli and Rahul departed in the same over, all falling to Dananjaya's googly while Hardik Pandya, attempting to get to the pitch of the ball, was duped by another wrong 'un to be stumped. Axar was trapped in front with a slider as Dananjaya struck yet another time as gloom looked in the Indian dressing room.
