India 90-2 (11 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Medium pacer Thisara Perera comes into the attack. Dhawan takes one from the first ball before Pandey walks across and turns the second ball perfectly in the gap between fine leg and square leg for a four.

Three more singles get India eight runs from Perera's first over.

Change from the other end as leg-spinner Jeevan Mendis comes into the attack in place of Dananjaya, who bowled two overs for 12 runs.

Dhawan tries to play the sweep and is beaten but the umpire turns down the confident appeal for LBW. The Sri Lankans are not convinced as they decide to take the DRS.

The ball has pitched outside leg stump and the review goes against Sri Lanka, while the leg bye brings up India's 50, in the eighth over.

Pandey slog sweeps the next ball powerfully over the midwicket fence for a huge six on the leg side.

Pradeep comes back for another spell. Dhawan gets a top edge as he tries to pull the pacer but it goes all the way over the thirdman fence for a six, to raise the 50-run stand for the third wicket from 41 balls.

He again gets a top edge off the next ball and yet again the ball goes behind the stumps for another six. He then takes a single to race to 42 from 25 balls.

Pandey makes room and smashes the fifth ball straight but ends up hitting the stumps at the non-striker's end which denies him some runs.

The last ball is a slower bouncer as Pandey throws his bat but is deceived by the change of pace.

Dhawan comes down the track and Mendis slips it down the leg side but the ball is too far down, allowing the batsman time to recover.

Mendis bowling with a slingy action like Kedar Jadhav, trying not to give the ball air and allow the batsmen to get under it.

India are well placed for a score around the 175-run mark as they reach 80 for two in 10 overs.

Dhawan has benefitted from a few top edges to smashed 45 from 28 balls, while Pandey has made 25 from as many balls.

India were struggling on 10 for two in three overs before hitting 70 runs from the next seven overs.

Spinner Dananjaya comes back as Dhawan drives the fifth ball through the covers to bring up his fifty from just 30 balls.
