August 31, 2015 15:36

India 252-8 (72 ovs) & 312 vs SL 201 | Scorecard

India continue to bat in the post-tea session as Kaushal resumes his over in which he had taken a wicket from the second ball before the break.

Umesh Yadav gets off the mark with a single before Ashwin does the same from the last ball to retain strike.

Spin from both ends as Sri Lanka look to get through the next few overs till the second new ball is available.

Kaushal bowls a maiden before Ashwin steers Herath behind point for a four and gets a single on the off-side. Yadav likes to have a go at the bowlers but so far he is content to defend and take the singles.

Ashwin comes down the track and drives Herath to long-off for another single.

In the next over, Ashwin turns Kaushal fine for two runs and guides the next ball behind square on the off-side for a four to take his score into the 40s.
