1.2 : Sri Lanka:21/0

1.2: W Sundar to D Gunathilaka, Darted quicker on middle and leg, on a bit of a shorter length, the batsman can only defend it out.

08:27 PM (IST)

1.1 : Sri Lanka:21/0

1.1: W Sundar to D Gunathilaka, SIX! Welcome, young Sundar! Gunathilaka greets him with a hammering blow. From around the wicket, it's tossed right up there. The left-hander backs away and bangs it straight back down for a flat biggie.

08:26 PM (IST)

Washington Sundar will bowl from the other end.

08:25 PM (IST)

0.6 : Sri Lanka:15/0

0.6: J Unadkat to D Gunathilaka, Quick single to end a good over for the Lankans. 15 runs off it. It's tapped towards mid on and both batsmen quickly cross over.

08:24 PM (IST)

0.5 : Sri Lanka:14/0

0.5: J Unadkat to D Gunathilaka, Safe! Length ball on middle and leg, Gunathilaka walks a step across and tucks it through backward square leg. Runs hard, comes back for the second and takes the throw on with a dive. Karthik takes the bails off and it's taken upstairs. Replays show the southpaw is safe. Good running.

08:24 PM (IST)

Run out appeal! Danushka Gunathilaka is the man in question. Looks to be safe if the faces of the Indian players are anything to go by. Over to the TV umpire...

08:23 PM (IST)

0.4 : Sri Lanka:12/0

0.4: J Unadkat to K Mendis, Waits for the ball to come before guiding it down to third man for one.

08:23 PM (IST)

Jaydev Unadkat has the new ball, Danushka Gunathilaka and Kusal Mendis will open the innings.

08:22 PM (IST)

0.3 : Sri Lanka:11/0

0.3: J Unadkat to K Mendis, Another good length ball, close to the off stick, Mendis hangs inside his crease to block.

08:22 PM (IST)

0.2 : Sri Lanka:11/0

0.2: J Unadkat to K Mendis, SIX! What a hit! Took one hand off it while playing that but that still went a long way. It's dropped fuller in length, Kusal Mendis lofts it high and handsome over covers for a maximum.

08:21 PM (IST)

0.1 : Sri Lanka:5/0

0.1: J Unadkat to D Gunathilaka, FIVE OVERTHROWS! Drama right off the bat... literally. Unadkat lands it on a length on off and gets it to shape away. Gunathilaka taps it down in front of point with an open face and both batsmen go for the run. Rahul comes to the ball and has a shy at the striker's end, but it goes off Mendis' bat and away to the fine leg boundary.

08:18 PM (IST)

Ready to begin as the umpires and the players make their way out to the center of the park. It will be Danushka Gunathilaka and Kusal Mendis to open the innings for the Lankans, with Jaydev Unadkat taking the new ball first up for the Men in Blue. He has a slip in place. Here we go...

08:12 PM (IST)

Thisara Perera says it looks like a good batting track so will look to put runs on the board. Reckons their batters have done well but their bowlers weren't up to the mark, so wants to change that. Adds they have a good line-up and hopes that will bring about a good change. Ends saying there's one change as Suranga Lakmal comes in for Dinesh Chandimal.

08:12 PM (IST)

Rohit Sharma says they will field first. Adds that there's been some rain around so the wicket will get better as the game goes on. Continues saying that the last game between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh was proof of that fact. States they have talked about what their roles are and studied the opposition too, so wants to exploit their weaknesses. Mentions there's one change, as KL Rahul comes in for Rishabh Pant.

08:12 PM (IST)

TOSS - INDIA WIN THE TOSS AND THEY WILL HAVE A BOWL FIRST! We've lost just an over because of the rain. It will be a 19-over match, with 4 bowlers allowed to bowl 4 overs each and the rest can bowl 3.

08:12 PM (IST)

Now, coming to the match, it's like we're back to ground zero with all teams having suffered a loss each and bagged a win each. Today, Sri Lanka will be with a stand-in captain Thisara Perera as Dinesh Chandimal is suspended for today's game. It will be a stern test for them, as they go up against an Indian side with the hunger for revenge. The Rohit Sharma led team might be inexperienced, but it's a learning curve for them, and these players have been known to be quick learners. We should have a good game on our hands, especially given the series is completely open now. Today's victors will have the upper hand, so with both going for maximum points, everybody would enjoy watching this now.

08:11 PM (IST)
