India 75-0 (15 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Dhawan continues to charge the bowlers. This time he comes down to Pradeep but gets an edge which goes past the wicketkeeper for a four.

He hits the next ball on the leg side where the fielder at deep midwicket does well to keep it down to two runs.

The next ball is short as Dhawan pulls it behind square for another four and then cuts another wide short ball over point for the third four of the over.

He takes a single from the last ball to race to 47 from 45 balls.

Off-spinner Akila Dananjaya comes into the attack, in place of Perera, who bowled an expensive first spell of three overs for 21 runs.

Two singles from the first two balls before Dhawan slaps the third through the covers for two runs to race to his fifty from 47 balls, having hit seven fours.

India have changed gears, to hit 42 runs from the last five overs, to take their score to 75 for no loss in 15 overs.
