India 303-1 (44 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Rohit sweeps pacer Pradeep fine on the leg side for a four as 11 come from the 41st over.

Lakmal comes back as Iyer goes into attack mode. The first ball is a full toss which the youngster hits through midwicket for a four and then blasts the next through the covers for another boundary followed by four singles to get 12 from the over.

Iyer hit his 50 from 50 balls and in the next 13 balls he has smashed 30 runs to lift the scoring rate quite a bit.

Lakmal comes some under heavy punishment in the 44th over. He himself is to bowl for his woes as he dishes out a few full tosses and suffers quite a lot.

Iyer hits a full toss to the man in the deep on the off-side for a single before Rohit takes the pacer to the cleaners with four sixes in the over.

Lakmal gifts Rohit a full toss, who shuffles across and swings it over midwicket for a six before the pacer bowls a wide.

The next two balls are also full tosses as Rohit flicks it over square leg region for back to back sixes.

The India captain then clubs the fifth ball over long-on for the fourth six of the over.

Lakmal, who was virtually unplayable in the first ODI, has been taken apart in this game as he is smashed for 71 runs in his eight overs.

26 runs from the Lakmal over as India go past 300, in the 44th over, with Rohit on 140 from 131 balls and Iyer on 83 from 66 balls.
