Kohli out for 13, India 3 down

August 03, 2017 13:42

India 133-3 (39 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

With Virat Kohli out in the middle, Sri Lanka bring back pacer Nuwan Pradeep possibly to test him with a few short balls, which have troubled him lately.

However, he bowls it slightly fuller to Kohli and on the pads as he turns it on the leg side for three runs to get off the mark.

In the next over, Pujara sweeps Herath for a boundary square on the leg side. The two batsmen have a slight misunderstanding over a possible single as Pujara does well to send back Kohli quickly.

Pradeep tries a bouncer to Kohli who leaves it alone before he drives a full delivery down the ground for a four and then takes a run.

Another partnership starting to develop as India reach 125 for two.

But Sri Lanka strike back with the key wicket of captain Virat Kohli for 13. The right-hander went for the cut shot against Herath but got an edge and Mathews took a splendid catch at slip.
