July 28, 2017 17:02

India 136-2 (34 ovs) & 600 vs SL 291 | Scorecard

Kohli gets an inside edge off Pradeep for two runs on the leg side and he turns the next ball in the same region for another couple to close in on his fifty.

Part-time off-spinner Danushka Gunathilaka comes into the attack. It turns out to be an easy over for the Indians as they pick up four easy singles.

Kohli turns Gunathilaka for two runs to complete his half-century, his first in eight innings, from 68 deliveries.

This is turning out to be too easy for the Indians as they cruise to 136 for two in 34 overs, for an overall lead of 445 runs.

Kohli has batted positively to stroke a fluent 52, while Mukund has looked quite solid on 55, with the duo adding 80 runs for the third wicket so far.
