Ind 1st inns: 140-2 (38 ovs) vs SL 183 | Scorecard

The experienced spinner Rangana Herath to bowl from the other end. The first ball is full as Kohli goes back in his crease and is struck on the pads but the LBW appeal is turned down. The right-hander gets off strike with a single from the very next delivery before Dhawan picks a run too.

Kohli keeps strike with a single from the last ball which takes his score to 48.

Pacer Prasad gets some sharp movement into the batsman as Kohli blocks it cautiously. Three balls later he cuts a short ball square on the off-side for a single before Dhawan steers the next to the vacant thirdman for two runs followed by a single from the last ball.

Dhawan drives the first ball of Herath's new over down the ground for a single. Kohli watchfully comes forward and blocks a full delivery and two balls later clips it on the leg side to bring up his fifty, from 90 balls, laced with seven boundaries.
