India 131-1 (30 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Sri Lanka start the post-lunch session with pace as Pradeep comes into the attack. Dhawan survives a confidence shout for LBW as he beaten by one which comes in. He then takes a single off the fifth ball before Pujara keeps strike with one from the last ball.

In the next over, Dhawan goes after Herath. He comes down the track and drives a full delivery from the veteran spinner through the covers for a four. The next ball is punched straight down the ground for another boundary before he takes one to get 10 from the over.

That also brings up the 100-run partnership for the second wicket and it has come from just 130 balls, with Dhawan scoring 74 of them.

India in a rush after lunch and Dhawan is leading the charge. Pradeep tries a short ball but it is too easy for Dhawan as the left-hander pulls it square for a four, his third boundary in the space of four balls.

India scoring well over four runs per over to reach 131 for one in 30 overs with Dhawan smashing 78 from 94 balls, while Pujara has made 39 from 61 balls.
