India 375-5 (50 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Pandey plays a beautiful inside out shot as he lofts Fernando over the cover region for a four to take his score to 37. He steers the next ball square on the off-side for two runs and then picks a single to midwicket.

Dhoni picks one before Pandey punches the last ball down the ground for a couple to get 11 from the over.

Dhoni (25) has a huge swing but the slow ball from Malinga beats him as he gets the thick outside edge but Dilshan Munaweera at thirdman puts down an easy catch.

And he makes Sri Lanka feel the pain as later in the over he clobbers Malinga over midwicket for a huge six, this time reading the slower ball early to take India past the 350-run mark, in the 48th over.

Fernando to bowl the penultimate over. Pandey takes a single from the first ball before Dhoni smashes a full toss over the covers for a four. The next ball is full but this time fielder at sweeper cover does well to keep it down to two after Dhoni had again smashed it through the same region.

Malinga to bowl the final over. The first ball is slow but pitched right up as Dhoni flays it over the covers for a four. The next ball is a yorker as Dhoni drives it on the off-side for one and Pandey picks two runs to sweeper cover.

He drives the fourth ball straight to point and gets just one to take his score to 49.

Dhoni punches the fifth ball down to long-on for a single to bring up the 100-run stand from 76 balls.

Pandey hits the last ball, a full toss, for a single to deep midwicket to complete his half-century from 43 balls as India finish on a huge 375 for five in 50 overs.
