India 515-7 (120 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

The impressive Pradeep to kick off proceedings after the lunch break. Jadeja starts off in confident fashion as he slaps the first ball of the session through the covers for a four.

Two balls later, he is caught in two minds as he looks to pull a short ball before deciding against it before he takes a single from the fifth ball.

Pradeep slants a bouncer across Pandya from around the wicket who is happy to sway out of the way.

Captain Herath will bowl from the other end. Pandya looks to cut a short ball but fails to make connection. He edges the last ball of the over but Karunaratne at first slip puts down a straightforward chance.

Pradeep bowls a short ball from around the wicket as Pandya goes for the pull but gets a top edge which goes fine on the leg side for a four. A nervy few minutes for debutant Pandya, who still looks uncertain on how to approach his batting, whether to bat with caution or look to play some shots.

He tries the ramp shot off the last ball but fails to make connection and the wicketkeeper also fails to collect it to give away a bye.
