Zaheer rattles Lankan batters

Indian speedster Zaheer Khan claimed a five-wicket haul as Sri Lanka managed a modest total of 230 runs in the third One Day International of the four-match series here. Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Left-arm seamer Zaheer blasted the Lankan top order in a sensational opening spell when he had 3-4 in his first three overs, and then returned in the closing stages to pick two more for his first ever five-wicket haul.

The visitors, like in the previous match, had a disastrous start when they were reduced to 6-3 and then 91-5 before recovering through a stout performance from the middle order.

Russel Arnold played a vital role in Sri Lanka's fightback with an unbeaten 66 from 83 balls and shared a 89-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Tillekaratne Dilshan (42).

Captain Mahela Jayawardene (30) combined with his predecessor Marvan Atapattu (42) to repair the early damage by adding 76 runs for the fourth wicket.

Harbhajan Singh chipped in with 2-37 while Kumar Sangakkara, centurion at Rajkot, was out for a four-ball duck.

Sri Lanka lead the four-match series 1-0 after a narrow five-run win on Sunday while the first game was washed out by rain.
