vIndianz.com (27 Dec 2009) — Umpires halted play in the fifth one-day international between Sri Lanka and India on Sunday owing to the out of condition nature of the pitch, after the tourists had toiled on the complicated surface to accomplish 83 for five in 23.3 overs.
Tillakararatne Dilshan (20) and Sanath Jayasuriya (31) were together struck on the arm after Sri Lanka were asked to bat first on a two-paced wicket with some deliveries springing up from a good length, whereas others kept low.
Players left the field after match referee Alan Hurst had a mid-pitch gathering with the field umpires.
A finishing decision on the match is anticipated shortly.
India holds an unquestionable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
