SL 203-8 (42 ovs) vs India 375-5 | Scorecard

Chinaman spinner Kuldeep comes back, taking over from Pandya, who has taken two for 50 in eight overs.

India had a good chance to claim another wicket as Dananjaya backed up a bit too much from the non-striker's end and was struggling to make his crease but Kuldeep fails to collect the ball cleanly after a throw from the leg side.

Pushpakumara somehow manages to see off the over as Kuldeep registers his first maiden over of the innings.

Bumrah is back and he bowls a quick yorker as Pushpakumara is struck on the pads but the leg before appeal is turned down. The next ball again beats the right-hander but he again survives the LBW appeal.

Sri Lanka struggle to 192 for seven in 40 overs, with 184 needed from 10 overs for victory.

Bumrah gets his man as Pushpakumara is caught on the thirdman fence as he plays the ramp shot straight into the hands of the fielder.

Bumrah bowls another quick bouncer as new batsman Vishwa Fernando somehow fends it on the leg side for a single.

Dananjaya makes room and flat bats Bumrah straight down the ground for a four to take Sri Lanka past 200. The next ball is slow as the left-hander lofts it on the leg side for a couple.
