India 36-0 (5 ovs) vs SL 236-8 | Scorecard

Left-arm pacer Vishwa Fernando from the other end. He starts with a wide to Rohit, who then takes a single on the off-side.

Dhawan turns the next ball on the leg side to get off the mark with a couple before he defends the rest of the over.

Too many extras from the Sri Lankan pacers early on as Malinga starts his second over with a wide and then bowls another one.

Rohit looks eager to get on top of Malinga as he flicks a full delivery from the pacer over the midwicket fence for a six. The next ball is again on the pads as Rohit turns it on the leg side for a couple and then misses another on his pads.

Fernando now guilty of bowling on the wrong line. The in-form Dhawan, who hit a century in the first ODI, easily despatches one off his pads through square leg for a four.

The last ball is short and Rohit can pull it through midwicket for the second four of the over.

Malinga bowls another loose delivery, full and wide, as Dhawan strokes it through thirdman for another four as the runs continue to flow for India early on.

India have raced to 36 for no loss in five overs with Dhawan on 13 and Rohit on 19.
