SL 229-6 (65 ovs) vs India 600 | Scorecard

Perera goes after Ashwin as he comes down the track and smashes him back over his head for a straight six. He plays a nice drive through the covers for a boundary to continue his attacking approach and take his score to 38.

Jadeja strikes again in his next over as he traps Perera leg before wicket. And the batsman immediately takes the DRS which shows that the ball would have bounced over the stumps.

India captain Kohli doesn't look impressed as the decision is turned and Perera gets another lifeline. That looked a surprise call from the ball tracker as the ball was full and impact was way below the knee roll but it still shows the ball would have gone over the stumps.

But no stopping Perera, who slog sweeps Jadeja over midwicket for a four to take his score into the 40s.

Sri Lanka are 229 for six in 65 overs, still needing another 171 runs to avoid the follow-on.
