August 31, 2015 14:29

India 207-7 (60 ovs) & 312 vs SL 201 | Scorecard

Off-spinner Kaushal comes back into the attack. Mishra (10) gets a lifeline as Mathews puts down a simple catch at short cover. There is a run out opportunity off the next delivery as Mishra turns it fine and decides to take the second run but a poor throw sees him get home in time.

Mishra getting the scoreboard moving as he plays a lovely drive through the covers for a four to take India past the 200-run mark, in the 59th over.

Kaushal, from round the stumps, hits Ashwin on the pads but the appeal for LBW is turned down. He nudges the last ball fine for a couple as India continue to make good progress.
