India 155-0 (33 ovs) & 172 vs SL 294 | Scorecard

Rahul getting carried away or perhaps losing his focus. He tries the pull shot off pacer Gamage but misses and then tries the ramp and is again beaten.

Dhawan looking to disrupt Herath's rhythm as he paddle sweeps the left-arm spinner fine for two runs and then takes a single.

Dhawan continues his assault on Herath as he slog sweeps the spinner for a huge six over midwicket, clearing the fielder comfortably. He then tries another big hit down the ground but fails to make clear connection for a single to long-off.

Dhawan has changed gears. This time he steers Gamage to thirdman for two runs before he pulls the fifth ball through square leg for a four. Gamage doesn't learn from his mistake and bowls another bouncer which Dhawan pulls fine for another boundary to take India past the 150-run mark, in the 32nd over.

Herath, who has been carted for 25 runs in his three overs, makes way for Perera. The off-spinner bowls a steady over as he gives away just three runs.

With around 25 overs left to be bowled before stumps, India may look to continue in the same vein and score around 80 to 100 runs before stumps and put themselves in a good position heading into the final day.

Dhawan's assault has seen him race to 86 from 101 balls, hitting 10 fours and two sixes, while Rahul is content to play second fiddle on 68.
