SL 282-8 (74 ovs) vs India 600 | Scorecard

Umesh comes back but Perera not holding back as he flashes a short ball from the pacer over the point region for a four.

Two balls later, he steers a short ball over the slips for another boundary to frustrate the Indians.

Three close-in fielders for Jadeja against Nuwan Pradeep, who comes close to getting the edge as he is beaten outside the off-stump.

Umesh getting some reverse as Perera is beaten on the flick but he takes a leg bye off the first ball. Pradeep is also beaten as he backs away and is struck on the pads before he gets an inside edge on the leg side for one.

Perera then swings a short ball from Umesh over midwicket for a four and keeps strike with a single from the last ball on the off-side.

Pradeep has a swing but mishits it down the ground as it falls safely between two fielders and the bowler Jadeja is not happy with the effort.

Debutant Hardik Pandya comes into the attack for the first time in Test cricket, to bowl the 72nd over. He nearly strikes with the second ball as Pradeep plays down the inside line and is lucky that the ball misses the edge and also the stumps.

Perera swings Jadeja over the leg side and it comfortably clears Ashwin at deep midwicket for a four. He repeats the shot off the last ball and this time it goes all the way over the ropes for a six to take Perera's score to 82.

Pradeep plays a nice uppish drive over the off-side against Pandya for three runs and Perera then takes a single.

Pandya bowls a full toss which Pradeep lofts over the fielder at short cover for a four before the bowler gets revenge.

Pradeep makes room before he plays all over a full delivery and is bowled for 10 to become Pandya's first victim in Test cricket.

With Asila Gunaratne ruled out of the match with injury India need just one wicket to bowl out Sri Lanka, while the hosts need another 120 runs to avoid the follow-on.

Lahiru Kumara edges the last ball of the over past the slips for a couple to get off the mark.
