Sri Lanka 55-1 (10 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Big news! Hardik Pandya comes into the attack, to bowl the ninth over -- the first time he is bowling for India in a long time.

He is right on the spot first ball, short of good length and on the stumps as Fernando blocks it back to the bowler. He has overstepped to start with a no-ball

Fernando gets a leg bye off the next as he misses the flick before Bhanuka pulls the fifth ball for a four. The left-hander swings the last ball over midwicket for another four as Hardik concedes 10 in his first over.

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack to bowl the 10th over.

He strikes first ball with the wicket of Fernando, who is caught in the covers after scoring 32 from 35 balls.

Debutant Bhanuka Rajapaksa comes in at No 3. He defends the first three balls before the left-hander slog sweeps Chahal over midwicket for a six to get off the mark in some style.

Sri Lanka are 55/1 in 10 overs, with Bhanuka on 12 and Rajapaksa on six.
