India 64-3 (22 ovs) & 312 vs SL 201 | Scorecard

India managing to keep the scoreboard moving Herath with singles as Sri Lanka seems to have gone on the defensive.

Rohit survives a huge shout for LBW against Mathews as he was beaten by the incoming delivery but the impact is too high.

He edges the next ball as he looks to drive through the off-side but it goes in the gap between slips and gully for a four.

Kohli goes back and steers Herath past the point fielder to pick up three runs as the fielder does well on the ropes to keep the ball inside. Rohit is beaten again as he edges a full delivery past the slip fielder for three more runs.

India have recovered to 56 for three in 20 overs to stretch their lead to 167 runs.

Both Kohli (20) and Rohit (28) have quite comfortable out in the middle and runs are coming at a good rate at the moment.

Rohit gets another edge off Mathews for two runs through the gully region to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket from 92 balls.

Sri Lanka bring pacer Prasad to replace Herath, who struggled to make an impact with the ball.

Kohli tries to drive the ball but gets an inside edge for a single to fine leg. Rohit then pulls a short ball through the fine leg region for a four to continue India's good progress.

India are 64 for three in 22 overs, with the lead having stretched to 175 runs.
