India 229-1 (47 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Herath comes back as Dhawan picks a single before Pujara blocks the rest of the over.

Dhawan continues to employ the sweep shot with good effect. Perera helps him by bowling it well outside the leg stump as Dhawan sweeps it for a four past the short fine leg fielder. He repeats the shot two balls later for the same result as Perera continues with the leg stump line.

A well spread out field for Dhawan as the left-hander clips Herath to deep midwicket for one before Pujara easily defends the rest of the over.

Off-spinner Danushka Gunathilaka comes into the attack. He starts with a long hop which the well-set Dhawan pulls over midwicket for a four to inch closer to 150. Singles from the remaining five deliveries to make it nine runs from the over as the runs continue to flow.

Dhawan sweeps Herath but this time he finds the fielder in the deep and gets just a single for the only run of the over with Pujara again content to defend.

Gunathilaka bowls a short wide delivery which Dhawan steers past short thirdman fielder for a four before he slaps one down the ground for a single to race to his 150, from 147 balls, laced with as many as 24 boundaries.
