SL 13-1 (3 ovs) vs India 132-5 | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar Kumar will look to pick a few early wickets with the new ball with India defending 133 on a pitch not that easy for batting.

Avishka Fernando defends the first ball before he is beaten next ball with the pacer getting the ball to move away sharply.

Fernando is beaten again next ball as he plays away from his body and then takes a single to thirdman.

Minod Bhanuka blocks the last ball as just a single comes from the first over.

Debutant Chetan Sakariya into the attack from the other end. Fernando defends the first two balls before he flicks the third ball past short fine leg for a four.

The next ball is overpitched and wide as Fernando drills it through the covers for another boundary before he takes a single to thirdman.

Bhuvneshwar continues as Fernando pushes the first ball to midwicket and runs the next to thirdman for a single and Bhanuka takes one to get off the mark.

Bhuvneshwar makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Fernando for 11, with Rahul Chahar taking a stunning catch at deep square leg.

Chahar ran to his right near the boundary before taking a good catch as the momentum carried him over but he managed to lob the ball in and then got inside the boundary to complete the catch. He has pulled off an amazing catch to give India the early wicket.
