India 530-4 (161 ovs) vs SL 205 | Scorecard

Perera to start with the ball in the post-tea session. Kohli starts off with a single off the first ball and Rohit takes one from the next delivery. Kohli then drives the fifth ball through the covers for a couple to get four from the over.

Medium pacer Shanaka from the other end. Rohit takes a single before Kohli pull a short ball over midwicket for a four. The next ball is down the leg side as Dickwella is unable to stop it cleanly to give away two byes and another bye off the next ball as Dickwella does well to collect it down the leg side but hits the stumps to give away the run.

Rohit keeps strike with one from the last ball as Shanaka gives away nine runs from that over.

Shanaka bowls a full toss as Rohit flicks it through midwicket for two runs. The next ball is short as the right-hander pulls it over the same region for a four and then takes one to sweeper cover.

India are 530 for four in 161 overs, stretching their lead to 325 runs.
