SL 1st inns: 54-4 (20 ovs) vs Ind | Scorecard

A deep midwicket in place for Mathews against Ashwin, who sensibly decides against taking the risk and picks a single on the leg side from the fifth ball.

In the next over, he pulls a short ball from Aaron through midwicket for a four. A few deliveries later, Thirimanne leans forward and plays a cracking drive through the covers for another four as Sri Lanka look to keep the scoreboard moving and look to rally their team after the few early wickets.

Mathews is content to play Ashwin for a single to deep midwicket off the fifth ball to bring up Sri Lanka's 50, in the 18th over.

This is interesting as leg-spinner Amit Mishra comes into the attack ahead of the experienced Harbhajan Singh. He replaces Aaron, who went for a few runs in his second spell.

He starts with a short ball which is hit by Mathews through the off-side for a couple and then picks a single from the next.

Mishra is spot on against Thirimanne (13) as far as his line and length is concerned with the left-hander defending the rest of the over.

Ashwin bags another wicket as left-hander Thirimanne comes forward to defend but gets an edge and is caught at first slip for 13. Superb bowling from Ashwin, giving it plenty of flight and making the batsman play at it to bring the spin into play.

Sri Lanak's struggle continues as they reduced to 54 for four in the 20th over.

Left-hander Jehan Mubarak is the new batsman with Sri Lanka in all sorts of problems after electing to bat.
