India 300-3 (78 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Pushpakumara has been disappointing and has bowled a lot of loose deliveries during his spell of 14 overs, giving away 59 runs.

Once again he drops short as Rahane punches the last ball through the covers for a four.

Spin from both ends now as Dhananjaya de Silva comes back. Pujara turns the first ball to deep midwicket for one and Rahane drives the third ball to long-on for a single.

De Silva gets one to bounce more than expected but Rahane is able to get on top of the bounce and steers it to thirdman for two runs.

A single to Pujara off Pushpakumara raises the 150-run stand for the fourth wicket from just 197 deliveries as India pile on the runs.

Rahane keen to continue his positive approach against the spinners. He gives de Silva the charge and lofts him back over his head for a four.

In the next over, he cuts a short ball from Herath for a four as the veteran spinner drops short.

A single to Pujara off de Silva brings up India's 300, in the 77th over.

Rahane, on 80, gets a lifeline as as the bowler Pushapkumara drops a sharp chance on his follow through despite a full length dive to his left.
