India 114-1 (48 ovs) vs SL 205 | Scorecard

Vijay, on 61, gets a lifeline as Perera at short mid-on next to the non-striker misses a sharp chance to his left. That was an easy opportunity but Perera was unable to hold on.

Sri Lanka will be happy with India's approach as both Herath and Gamage string together a few maiden overs on the trot and dry up the runs.

Pujara taps Herath on the off-side for one, the first runs after a long wait of 27 balls before Vijay also picks one.

Lakmal replaces Gamage as Vijay punches the first ball through the covers for three runs and raise the 100-run stand for the second wicket.

Pujara plays a similar shot but he finds the gap and has timed it better for a boundary followed by a single to thirdman.

India looking to continue the flow as Vijay taps the fourth ball on the leg side for one. Pujara takes one from the last ball to get 10 from the over.

It has been slow going for India after the lunch interval as as they reach 114 for one in 48 overs, with Vijay on 66 and Pujara on 40.
