Sri Lanka 81-1 (16 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Since the introduction of Chahal and Bumrah, Sri Lanka's run rate has dipped ever so slightly.

Dickwella punches the short ball off the back foot for a boundary through point.

Six runs come off the over and drinks are called.

Bumrah gives just one run off the over as new batsman Kusal Mendis is yet to get off the mark.

Chahal does the job for India. He kept the runs down and now has the wicket of Gunathilaka.

The batsmen plays an absurd sweep, totally mistimed, it went off the bottom of the bat and only to hand an easy catch to Rahul at cover.

He makes a hash of a good start to head back to the pavillion for a well made 35 (44 balls).

The Lanka openers were running well between the wickets until the Dickwella took a suicidal run but got in just in time to survive the run out.

Dickwella goes down the wicket to Chahal and runs half the length of the pitch only to be sent back by Gunathilaka.

Yuzvendra Chahal is brought into the attack with the hope of getting with his leg breaks and he gets taken for four runs.

Jasprit Bumrah comes in as first change, replacing Bhuvneshwar and Lanka continue in the same vein, taking 9 runs off his first over.
