India 579-9 (130 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Herath takes himself off and brings on pacer Lahiru from the other end as Sri Lanka struggle to dismiss the Indian lower order.

Pandya and Shami pick two singles each to get four runs from the over. In the next over, Pandya clips Pradeep through midwicket for two runs before he lofts him over the square leg fence for a six to bring up the 50-run stand for the ninth wicket from just 39 balls.

Pandya, meanwhile, has raced to 40 from just 38 balls, having hit three fours and three sixes, and Shami has stroked 24 from 20 balls.

Herath bring himself back into the attack. Shami comes down and has a wild swing and looks to have mishit it but still it carries all the way over long-on for a six.

Lahiru brings Sri Lanka relief with the wicket of Shami, who pulls a short ball straight into the hands of the fielder at deep square leg.

Shami perishes after a handy innings of 30 from as many balls, after he had put on an entertaining partnership of 62 runs for the ninth wicket with Pandya.

Last man Umesh Yadav is welcomed by a quick bouncer from Lahiru which he somehow manages to keep down.
