SL 127-7 (33.4 ovs) vs India 312 | Scorecard

Yadav is called back into the attack. The first ball is full as Perera crashes it straight back past the bowler for a four and in the process ends up breaking his bat. He calls for a replacement bat but it hardly matters as he powerfully smacks a short delivery through midwicket for another four and followed by two runs to take Sri Lanka past the follow-on mark.

Herath is setting with anger as he has a few words with the umpire after an angry exchange with Ishant on his follow through.

At the other end, Perera is on the attack. He pulls a short ball for two runs to deep midwicket and repeats the shot off the next ball for another couple to bring up his fifty, from 50 balls.

Perera goes after Ishant as he lofts him straight back over his head for a four. This is good entertainment for the fans at the SSC.

The Indians are not happy with the shape of the ball and the umpire oblige by changing the ball. The replacement ball does the trick as India strike with the key wicket of Perera, who is caught by Kohli after a quickfire 55 from 56 balls.
