51-3 after 16

A bit of a recovery here, but they've still got a lot of work to do to put up a good score. Munaf looks great so far.

Sri Lanka 230-8 after their 50

In my opinion, India should have had them all out for a lot less about 10 overs earlier, but Dravid chose to save his good bowlers for the final overs instead of pressing the advantage when he had it.

In reply, India 35-2 after 5 overs.
Sehwag and Tendulkar out so far.
 
Re: 3rd ODI: India vs Sri Lanka at Margao

Dravid gets his 10,000th ODI run, and celebrates by hitting 3 straight boundaries.

India 142-4 after 31.

They don't have it wrapped up quite yet though. There's still work to do.
 
Re: 3rd ODI: India vs Sri Lanka at Margao

Dhoni and Dravid hung around long eneough to guarantee the win. Rahul was out just 6 runs short, but the job was done by then.

India won, 233-5 after 46.3 overs.
Zaheer was player of the match for taking 5 wickets.
