SL 123-5 (29 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Malinda Siriwardana late cuts Axar fine on the off-side past the wicketkeeper for a four as Sri Lanka reach 107 for four at the halfway stage.

Meanwhile, Pandya comes back as Kohli saves a few overs from Chahal at the end.

Mathews comes down the track and swings the pacer over the leg side for a four. He pulls up with some sort of injury after the second ball as part-time off-spinner Kedar Jadhav is called in to complete the over, who concedes two singles in the remaining four deliveries of the over.

Axar strikes with the key wicket of Mathews, who looks to sweep but misses and is dismissed leg before wicket for 20.

A careless shot from the experienced Mathews and this after doing all the hard work during his 41-ball stay the crease to leave Sri Lanka in further strife.

India will sense a good opportunity to bowl out Sri Lanka for under 200 as they reduce the hosts to 123 for five in 29 overs.
