August 29, 2015 13:49

India 173-6 (61 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Three runs each from Mathews and Herath's over as the runs keep coming to keep the scoreboard moving.

Pradeep comes into the attack. Pujara misses out on a wide half-volley before he hammers the next one in the gap through the same region for a four.

In his next over, Pujara goes for the pull but gets a top edge which goes fine on the leg side for another four to take his score into the 80s.

Kaushal, who has bowled only two overs out of Sri Lanka's 60, comes back. Ojha drives the first ball down to long-off for one to bring up the 50-run stand for the sixth wicket from 85 balls.

The third ball is short as Pujara cuts it behind point for a couple.

He is lucky to get the wicket of Ojha, who holes out to long-on to be dismissed for 21.

A wicket against the run of play for Sri Lanka as Ojha gifted his wicket away after getting off to a good start.
