Sri Lanka 38-0 (8 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Both the pacers getting into their rhythm as they look to build the pressure with some tight overs.

Chahar bowls the first maiden over the match as Bhanuka can only play it out safely with the pacer keeping things tight.

Bhuvneshwar tries the short ball to Fernando but it bounces too high and is ruled a wide.

Fernando clips a full delivery off his pads through midwicket for a couple of runs. He then steers a wide delivery uppishly as Krunal Pandya makes a good stop on the thirdman boundary for three runs.

Bhanuka shuffles across and clips Bhuvneshwar through the leg side but can't get it in the gap and defends the last two balls.

Sri Lanka have got bogged down, with no boundary hit for the last six overs.

Fernando breaks the shackles as he flicks a full delivery from Chahar over square leg and it carries all the way for a six.

He steers the last ball to thirdman for a single, as seven come from the over.
