SL 290-9 (83 ovs) vs India 172 | Scorecard


Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes into the attack as India take the second new ball. Herath continues to bat freely as he flicks a full delivery over midwicket for two runs and keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Shami comes back from the other end. The first ball is short as Herath pulls it on the bounce to Jadeja who is halfway down to deep midwicket as he has a shy at the non-striker's end and misses but Ashwin's lacklustre backing up gives away four overhthrows.

Shami bowls another short ball as Herath looks to pull and then duck but the ball hits the bottom of the bat and goes over the wicketkeeper for a four. He keeps strike with a single from the last ball as the lead continues to swell.

Bhuvneshwar finally makes the breakthrough with the key wicket of Herath, who slashes it straight to the fielder at the thirdman fence. The veteran left-hander walks back after a superb knock of 67 from 105 balls, which has put Sri Lanka in a really strong position courtesy of the big lead.
