7.2: Y Chahal to U Tharanga, SIX! Massive hit! Chahal gives this some decent flight and it's quite slow through the air, Tharanga clears his front leg and breaks the shackles with a big swing over the long on boundary. Needed that, can probably help him to cut loose now.

08:37 PM (IST)

3.1 : Sri Lanka:34/2

3.1: W Sundar to K Perera, OUT! BOWLED! Kusal Perera is gone. This is a big wicket for the Indians. Sundar from around the wicket bowls it full, Perera kneels down to reverse sweep but gets it off the front pad back onto the stumps. He's shocked at that sight, while the Indians rejoice.

08:32 PM (IST)

Kusal Perera walks in at No.3. He's been in magnificent form, was in prime touch against India in their first game. Will he replicate something similar this evening?

08:31 PM (IST)

2.2 : Sri Lanka:25/1

2.1: S Thakur to D Gunathilaka, OUT! MAGNIFICENT CATCH FROM SURESH RAINA! Absolute blinder. Oh wow. The replays won't justify just how hard that was hit. Unbelievable stuff. It's on a back of a length on middle and off, Gunathilaka rocks back and looks to blast the pull over mid-wicket. Not much elevation on this though. Raina moves to his left and dives full stretch as the ball sticks in his hand. Superb. Thakur is happy and relieved at the same time, he knows his mate has bailed him out. Early breakthrough for India.

08:31 PM (IST)

OVER 2: Spin introduced straightaway. It's Washington Sundar who bowls the second over and he is greeted by Danushka Gunathilaka with a straight six off the very first ball. The youngster does well to allow three more off his next five deliveries. Sc
