Malinga doubtful for third Test

Sri Lanka captain Sangakkara said, though fast bowler Lasith Malinga, who missed the second Test due to knee injury, has recovered, its still not sure that he will show up for the third and final match of the series. Sangakkara said it would be a tough to take a final decision on the bowler's selection. He said Malinga is strong but he has to feel fine and strong not physically alone but also mentally. When asked about Tharanga Paranavitana's condition, Sangakkara said, he is fine.

Sangakkara said the Oval pitch is looking good but it would be difficult to get all 20 Indian wickets. He also said it's a pretty good pitch and it depends how they play on that. As long as both the teams keep on playing the way they played over the past two Test matches. He added they just want to try and win the opening Test match of third series.
