India 272-5 (72 ovs) & 172 vs SL 294 | Scorecard

The game gets underway in the post-lunch session with pacer Gamage handed the ball but umpire Nigel Llong says he can't bowl straightway as he went off the field in the morning session and will need to wait for another seven minutes.

Shanaka replaces him as Sri Lanka aim for a wicket or two to rock the Indians further and push for an unlikely victory.

Ashwin steers the third ball past the slips as it goes past the fielders for a four and then takes a single.

Lakmal from the other end. Ashwin clips the first ball on the leg side for one before Kohli attempts a quick run on the off-side but is sent halfway down before he takes one.

Kohli gets a thick outside edge off Gamage which goes past the slips for a four to take his score to 46, his highest score at the Eden Gardens.

He flicks the last ball fine on the leg side for a four to complete his first half-century at the Eden Gardens from 80 balls.
