India 247-4 (64 ovs) & 172 vs SL 294 | Scorecard

Shanaka bowls a bouncer as Kohli pulls it to deep midwicket for a single while Jadeja plays out the rest of the over.

Jadeja looks in no hurry at the moment and is content to bide his time, having scored just five runs from 29 balls.

Unless India lose a few quick wickets or go on the attack, the Test match looks set to heading towards a dull draw.

A tired Gamage drops it short outside the off-stump as Kohli blasts it through the off-side for a four and then clips the next to deep square for one.

Kohli getting more and more confident as he plays a cracking straight drive off Shanaka for a boundary down the ground before he takes a single.

Spin introduced for the first time on Day 5 as off-spinner Dilruwan Perera comes into the attack.

Kohli turns the third ball down to the vacant thirdman region for two runs and then picks one.

Jadeja clips the last ball fine on the leg side for his first boundary after facing 36 balls.
