August 14, 2015 16:33

SL 352-8 (80 ovs) & 183 vs Ind 375 | Scorecard

Ashwin back into the attack and he gets a full over at Kaushal, who does well to get behind the line and defend it.

Chandimal gives Ishant the charge and lofts him over the covers for a four before taking a single from the fourth ball on the leg side. A single to Chandimal as Sri Lanka's lead go past the 150-run mark. They have scored 83 runs from 20 overs for the loss of two wickets in the post-tea session.

Just a slip and short fine leg inside the circle for Ashwin as he bowls to Chandimal from round the wicket. He gets a single from the fourth ball before his partner Kaushal pulls a short ball through midwicket for a four.

In the next over, Chandimal takes a single off Mishra to complete his 150, from 160 balls. He was instrumental in Sri Lanka's superb recovery, when he arrived at the crease, the hosts were reeling on 92 for four.
