Sri Lanka 156-4 (36 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Another change in the bowling as Kuldeep is called back in place of Bhuvneshwar.

Asalanka cuts the second ball past point for a couple of runs and slashes the next square on the off-side for two more runs before he keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

In the next over, Asalanka clips Krunal on the leg side for one and Shanaka takes another run down to long-off.

Krunal mixing his pace and length quite well to keep the batsmen in a tight leash, conceding just three runs in his seventh over.

Asalanka slaps Kuldeep through the covers for a single to bring up Sri Lanka's 150, in the 35th over. Shanaka paddles Kuldeep for a single to fine leg for one and Asalanka is beaten trying to run the spinner down to thirdman.

Shanaka and Asalanka looking to get a move on. They look to keep the scoreboard ticking against Krunal, picking up five runs from his ninth over.

Sri Lanka will need a strong finish as they reach 156/4 in 36 overs.
