India 109-2 (31 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Herath resumes proceedings after the lunch break. The field is well spread out for Rahul, who easily picks a single to long-on off the second ball before Pujara cautiously defends the rest of the over.

Perera from the other end. Rahul takes a single from the first ball before Pujara flicks the next ball through midwicket for three runs to raise the 50-run stand for the second wicket from 115 balls.

Perera gets one to hold it's line as Rahul defends but gets an edge for a single on the off-side. Pujara comes down the track to the last ball but can't find the gap as the bowler reacts well to stop the ball on his follow through.

Against the run of play, Sri Lanka strike with the wicket of Rahul, who is run out for 57. He taps Herath on the off-side and sets off for a quick run and is sent back halfway down the track after Pujara responds initially but then refuses the run. No chance for Rahul to get back to his crease as the fielder on the off-side swoops in quickly to effect the run out and get the second wicket for Sri Lanka.
