 SL 167-5 (30 ovs) vs India 404-5 | Scorecard

Despite two early wickets, Binny has struggled with his control at times. Once again he drifts down the leg side and Mathews hits him fine for a four as eight runs come from the over.

Mathews then hoists Patel over midwicket and it carries all the way for a  six. But he gets revenge off the next delivery as he comes down the track but misses and Uthappa completes a quick stumping.

Mathews walks back after a good innings of 75 from 68 balls, having hit nine fours and a six.

Out walks Thisara Perera, who had dropped Rohit when his score was four and Sri Lanka suffered a lot because of that. He would be keen to make up for his lapse with a good innings with the bat to add some respectability to Sri Lanka's performance.

Kulkarni bowls a good bouncer to Perera, who tries to avoid but is struck on the body and is then beaten by the last ball.

After 30 overs, Sri Lanka are 167 for five in 30 overs, with 238 needed from 20 overs with five wickets in hand.
