India 301-7 (83 ovs) & 172 vs SL 294 | Scorecard

Sri Lanka immediately take the second new ball as Lakmal comes back into the attack.

Kohli edges the second ball past the slips for a four and then takes one to thirdman before Lakmal beats Bhuvneshwar again on the outside edge.

Kohli looking to score some runs and take the game to safety as he drives Shanaka through the covers for a four and then takes one from the last ball to keep strike.

Kohli slaps a wide delivery from Lakmal through the off-side for another boundary before the bowler gets revenge.

Kohli plays all over a full delivery and is given out leg before wicket before he instantly takes the DRS. And it turns out to be a very good review as Kohli had got an inside edge before the ball hit the pads.

And the whole of India heave a sigh of relief after Kohli is ruled not out. He then guides it to thirdman for a single but a poor throw back from the deep means Kohli gets another run.

Lakmal overpitches as Kohli punches it straight down the ground for another four to take India past the 300-run mark, in the 83rd over.
