Sri Lanka 108-3 (23 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

A single each to Dhananjaya and Asalanka off Kuldeep before the former sweeps the fourth ball for a four as Hardik is unable to keep the ball inside the ropes despite the desperate dive. That boundary takes Sri Lanka past the 100-run mark, in the 21st over.

Dhananjaya brings out the sweep again next ball but this time just for two runs before taking one off the last ball, to get 10 from the over.

Krunal just rushing through his overs, without conceding many. He has a huge appeal for caught behind turned down against Dhananjaya, who went for the sweep but was beaten.

He nearly chips the next ball back to the bowler, who makes a superb effort but the ball falls just short.

Krunal concedes just two singles in the over, for a total of just seven runs conceded in four overs.

Asalanka is beaten twice in three deliveries as he tries to cut Kuldeep, who keeps it in a good channel just outside the off-stump.

The left-hander watchfully plays out the rest of the over as Kuldeep bowls his first maiden over of the innings.
