Rahane-Ashwin complete 50-run partnership

August 04, 2017 11:05

India 400-4 (106 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Except for the wicket of Cheteshwar Pujara early in the day, not much happening in this session after an hour of play.

India batsmen are content with the ones and twos and the odd boundary. Sri Lanka on the other hand are not bowling a challenging spell, they are just going through the grind.

Ashwin again plays on the backfoot and sends Dilurawan for 3 runs through 3rd man. The field is shuffled around a bit and Rahane gets another 2 runs on the off side.

Rahane whips one off his pads, gets a run on the on side and brings up the 50-run partnership and 400 on the board as drinks are called.

Herath offers width and Ashwin just times it well for a boundary through point.

India mixing it up well, the boundaries and the ones and twos adding to the tally on the scoreboard as Herath gives 8 in that over.

Spinners operating at both ends now and Herath gives away just one run and the next over Dilurawan gives away 2 runs.

Sri Lanka make bowling change as off-break bowler Diluwan Perera brought in.

He starts off with a short ball and Rahane cuts it square for a boundary.

The bowler is getting some turn and Ashwin has some problem reading him.
