India 115-1 (27 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

The boundaries have dried up and both Dhawan and Pujara looking to get the runs in ones and twos. Dhawan turns Herath on the leg side for one before Pujara does the same but through midwicket for a couple.

A single each to the two batsmen off Perera in the next over as the scoreboard keeps moving.

In the next over, Dhawan ends the sequence of a few overs with boundaries. He slaps Herath down the ground for a four and then sweeps the left-arm spinner for a four behind square followed by a single to get 10 from the over as India cross the 100-run mark, in the 25th over.

Another couple runs off Perera's over with India progressing well, having scored 40 runs from the last 10 overs with the second-wicket partnership growing to 82 runs.

The over rate has also picked up with spinners in operation from both ends. Herath overpitches again as Pujara flicks him through midwicket for three runs with Dhawan pushing him for the extra run.

Herath bowling quick and flat as Dhawan and Pujara pick three more singles in what turns out to the final over of the morning session.
