India 355-3 (78 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Off-spinner Perera comes back into the attack in place of Herath, who bowled 19 overs for 81 runs.

Rahane and Pujara keep the scoreboard ticking along with three singles off Perera's comeback over.

Lahiru tries a short ball at Rahane who rolls his wrists and keeps it down to concede just a single before Pujara also picks one.

Rahane comes down the track and looks to defend Perera but is struck on the pads but the LBW appeal is turned down. Rahane takes a single before Pujara also does the same off the last ball of the over.

Lahiru from round the wicket tests Rahane with a couple of short balls as the right-hander looks to pull but not in the air and does well to keep it down.

Rahane takes the aerial route in the next over as he jumps down the track and lofts Perera back over his head for a four and picks up two runs from the last ball of the over.

Lahiru bowls a high bouncer which sails over Pujara's head and is called a wide to bring up the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket.

The short ball is followed by a wide half-volley as Pujara drives it through the covers for a four and then clips a slower ball through midwicket for two runs.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have another injury concern as the substitute fielder who dives at midwicket ends up injuring his shoulder.

Off-spinner Gunathilaka comes back, replacing pacer Lahiru as Rahane and Pujara pick up two singles each.

Spinners from both ends as Sri Lanka look to speed up the over rate at the fag end of the day.

Perera rushes through this 22nd over conceding just a single before Gunathikala gives away just two runs in the next over.

Wonder why Herath is holding himself back? The Indians seems totally comfortable against the two spinners and are content to play for stumps with not many overs left in the day.
