July 28, 2021  21:08

India 100-3 (16 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Hasaranga is back into the attack. It's all singles at the moment as three singles come from the first four balls from the leg-spinner.

Samson gets a thick bottom edge which hits wicketkeeper Bhanuka on the left thigh as he barely has time to react.

The last ball turns away sharply as Samson looks to drive but is beaten.

Akila Dananajaya also builds up pressure from the other end. A single each to Padikkal and Samson before the former attempts to loft the spinner down the ground but fails to make proper connection for two runs to long-off.

He is beaten next ball as Dananjaya gets the ball to turn away sharply followed by singles off the last two balls.

In the next over, Padikkal reverse sweeps Hasaranga over the off-side for a four.

However, the spinner gets revenge next ball as Padikkal goes for the slog sweep which he misses and is bowled after scoring 29 from 23 balls on his India debut.

Debutant Nitish Rana gets off the mark with a single to long-on before Hasaranga gets the last ball to turn big to beat Samson.
