Sri Lanka 76-1 (14 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Hardik, who went for 10 runs in his first over, continues. He starts his second over with a bouncer which Bhanuka avoids before he cuts the next ball for a single.

Rajapaksa guides the third ball to thirdman for one before Bhanuka pulls the fifth ball for another run.

In the next over, Bhanuka turns Chahal towards square leg for one and Rajapaksa plays three dot balls before taking one and his partner does the same last ball.

Spin from both ends as Kuldeep Yadav comes into the attack, replacing Pandya.

Bhanuka watchfully plays out the first two balls before he comes down and flicks the third ball through midwicket for two runs.

A single to Bhanuka before Kuldeep drifts the last ball down the leg side which Rajapaska sweeps for a four.

Rajapaksa looks in good touch, as he attempts to get on the top of the Indian bowlers.

In the next over, he gives Chahal the charge and lofts him straight down the ground for a six, to race to 18 from 14 balls.

The two batsmen have lifted Sri Lanka after Fernando's departure, putting on 27 from 29 balls to take the score to 76/1 in 14 overs.
