SL 3-2 (4 ovs); Target: 386 | Scorecard

The Indians are all charged up with that early wicket. The umpires have a word with captain Kohli about their celebration at the fall of wicket as Ishant celebrated very close to the batsman.

Umesh Yadav struggles to get it right in the first over, bowling a couple down the leg side to right-hander Kaushal Silva but ends up with a maiden over.

Ishant bowls a bouncer to Karunaratne, who ducks under it before he sees off the rest of the over.

Silva gets the first runs with the bat for Sri Lanka in this innings as he taps it on the off-side for one.

Yadav makes it worse for Sri Lanka with the wicket of Karunaratne, who pokes at a wide outgoing delivery only to be caught behind by Ojha for a duck.

Sri Lanka in tatters at two for two in the fourth over, chasing a huge 386 for victory.

Dinesh Chandimal gets off the mark with a single to the fine leg region and Kaushal defends the last two deliveries to end the over.
