SL 21-3 (7 ovs); Target: 386 | Scorecard

Chandimal edges the first ball of Ishant's new over but it falls short of the fielder at third slip, who does well to stop it on the bounce. He retains strike with a single from the last ball of the over.

Chandimal shows his positive intent as he hits Yadav for three boundaries in a row, in the sixth over. A wide short ball is hit through point for a four before he drives the next one square for the same result.

The fifth ball is slipping down the leg side which Chandimal nudges fine for a four to fine leg.

However, in the next over Ishant cripples Sri Lanka further with the wicket of Chandimal, who is caught by Kohli at second slip after a fumble by KL Rahul at third slip, for 18. Some crazy celebrations by Ishant as he bangs his head with his own hand as Chandimal walks by. Apparently, the two players clashed during the Indian second innings when Ishant was batting out in the middle.

Sri Lanka tottering on 21 for three in seven overs, with another 265 needed for victory.
