August 14, 2017  11:36


SL 73-4 (35 ovs) 135 vs India 487 | Scorecard


Umesh also following in Shami's footsteps, bowling quick and in the channel just outside the off-stump. Mathews watchfully defends the over as Sri Lanka are looking to provide some resistance after a horror start on Day 3.

Ashwin continues to get a lot of turn and bounce as Mathews looks to defend but is beaten and the ball goes off the pads to the fielder at short leg. A long spell for Ashwin, as he continues to bowl his ninth over on the trot.

Umesh bowls a wide half-volley which Chandimal caresses through the covers for a beautiful boundary.

Another quiet over from Ashwin passes by as the batsmen pick three singles to slowly but steadily repair the damage caused by a flurry of wickets earlier in the day.

Umesh beats Mathews with one that moves away late as the Indians go up in appeal. Kohli discusses with the bowler and Saha before making a late decision to go for the review after the umpire is unmoved. But there is no edge as the UltraEdge confirms and the on-field umpire's decision stays.
