SL 215-8 (43 ovs) vs India 392-4 | Scorecard

Dananjaya makes room and steers Bumrah fine on the off-side for a four before the pacer gets revenge a few deliveries later.

He sets up the batsman quite nicely as he bowls a couple of quick yorkers and then fires a bouncer at the left-hander's body, who fends it straight into the hands of Rohit at leg gully.

Mathews running out of partners and he tries to make some statement as he crashes a full delivery from Pandya down the ground past mid-off for a four.

He then takes a single before Suranga Lakmal picks a run from the fifth ball.

Pandya then makes Mathews take quick evasive action with a well directed bouncer end the 42nd over.

In the next over, Lakmal gets off strike with one on the leg side and Mathews takes one from the fourth ball.

Sri Lanka merely going through the motions as they reach 215 for eight in 43 overs, needing 178 more runs for victory in seven overs.
