Rahul hits fifty to lead India's strong reply

India 100-0 (24 ovs) & 172 vs SL 294 | Scorecard

Dhawan is also progressing well and has quietly gone about his job, looking to just stay at the wicket and make most of the loose deliveries.

A wide delivery from Lakmal is hit square on the off-side for a four before he takes a single from the last ball.

Sri Lanka waste their second and final review as Perera appeals for leg before wicket against Dhawan after the left-hander misses the sweep. The off-spinner is quite confident and forces captain Chandimal to go for the review but Dhawan has got some gloves before the ball hits the pads.

India's openers are looking in no trouble at all on a pitch which has eased quite a lot since the opening two days.

The hosts cruise to 100 for no loss in 24 overs with Rahul on 57 and Dhawan on 42.
