India 296-5 (79 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Pushpakumara bowls a beauty, getting one to grip and turn as Ashwin is beaten all ends up. He cuts the fifth ball past point for two runs before defending the last ball.

In the next over, Kohli clips Sandakan on the leg side for a couple before taking one down to long-on and Ashwin retains strike with one from the last ball.

Ashwin using his feet well as he jumps down the track and clips Pushpakumara through midwicket for two runs and then takes one to long-on.

India have scored just 54 runs in 20 overs so far in the post-tea session, scoring at just around 2.7 runs per over.

With the field spread around, Ashwin drives Sandakan to long-off for one and Kohli steers the fifth ball through the vacant thirdman region for a couple.

Sandakan strikes with the big wicket of Kohli, who throws his bat at a wide delivery but gets an edge and is caught at slip. The Indian captain was not his fluent self and scored 42 from 84 balls, including just three fours.

New batsman Wriddhiman Saha is beaten first ball as he looks to defend. The Sri Lankans appeal for caught behind which is turned down before they take the DRS with the reviews to be topped up after the next over.

The decision stays with the on-field umpire's call with the UltraEdge showing that the ball missed the edge of the bat.
