SL 1-1 (1 ov); Target: 386 | Scorecard

Sri Lanka open with Upul Tharanga and Kaushal Silva as the umpires have a chat with India captain Virat Kohli, maybe about the Ishant-Prasad confrontation.

Ishant to open the bowling for India. He must be all charged up after that clash with Prasad, who ran after him at the end of the Indian innings, and spoke to him just before he was entering the dressing room.

Tharanga is beaten as he goes after a wide delivery before he edges one but it falls short of the fielder at first slip.

But Ishant strikes with the last ball of the over as once again as Tharanga is beaten all ends up and only manages to edge it behind to wicketkeeper Ojha for a duck.
