Pujara, Kohli steady India after Kohli's dismissal
August 29, 2015  11:28

India 86-3 (38 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard


Rohit decides to chance his arm yet again and this time it comes bang off the middle. He jumps down the track and lofts Herath straight down the ground for the first six of the match. Pujara has shown a lot of patience to score 31 from 92 balls, with two fours, while Rohit already has a four and a six in his 34-ball 13.

The ball has gone out of shape and the umpires change it in the 34th over as Pujara defends for another maiden over, by Pradeep.

Sri Lanka have a fielder at long-on for Rohit before he decides to come down and loft Herath over midwicket for another four.

While Rohit looks keen to keep the scoreboard moving, Pujara is defending everything coming his way and proving to the perfect partner at the other end.

Herath tries to tempt Rohit with flighted deliveries, wanting him to have another go down the ground with a fielder placed at long-on but the right-hander resists the temptation.

Prasad comes in for another spell and starts with a maiden over to Pujara, who has gone into a shell in the last few overs.
