Sri Lanka 262-9 (50 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar continues as Karunaratne gets the first ball through the covers for a single and Dushmantha Chameera inside edges the third ball for one to get off the mark.

Karunaratne clips the fourth ball for two runs through square leg before he flicks a yorker through midwicket for a couple.

He hits the last ball over point for a single to retain strike as seven runs come from the 48th over.

Hardik starts the penultimate over with a well-disguised slower bouncer as Karunaratne is early into the pull and is struck on the body.

He looks to swing the next but mistimes the slower ball to deep midwicket for just a single.

Pandya bowls the seam up delivery at full pace which Chameera swings over midwicket for a four -- the first boundary after seven overs.

The next ball is the slower bouncer and this time Chameera pulls it over midwicket for a six.

The slower bouncer from Hardik as Chameera is hit on the helmet trying to play the pull shot. He pulls the last ball for two runs as Pandya concedes 13 runs in his fifth over, to finish with expensive figures of 1/33 in five overs.

Bhuvneshwar to bowl the final over. He starts with a full toss which Karunaratne hits over square leg for a four and then gets two runs off the next.

Bhuvneshwar bowls the slower ball which Karunaratne lofts straight down the ground, clearing the fielder at long-on for a six as Sri Lanka go past the 250-run mark.

Bhuvneshwar follows it up with a full toss which the right-hander flicks over midwicket for another six.

Karunaratne slaps the fifth ball to sweeper cover for a single and Chameera is run out off the final ball as he digs out the yorker back to the bowler.

Sri Lanka recover to post 262/9 in their 50 overs courtesy of Karunaratne's late assault as he strokes 43 not out from 35 balls.

Sri Lanka turned on things in style at the end, smashing 52 runs from the last five overs, including 32 from the last two.
