Sri Lanka 33-1 (4 ovs) vs India 164-5 | Scorecard

Left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya comes into the attack, to bowl the third over as India introduce spin early.

Fernando lofts the first ball over the off-side for two runs and then takes a single on the leg side.

Krunal gets the breakthrough in his first over, with the wicket of Bhanuka who looks to loft it over the off-side but can't get enough elevation and is caught in the covers for 10.

Dhananjaya de Silva gets off the mark with a single and Fernando picks one off the last ball.

Chahar continues with the ball. The second ball is short and wide as Fernando slashes it past point for a four as Suryakumar dives and gets his finger tips on it but it goes through for a four.

The right-hander flicks the next couple of balls on the leg side but can't find the gap before he smashes a full ball uppishly straight back past the bowler for a four.

Sri Lanka off to a good start as they reach 33/1 in four overs, with Fernando hitting 20 from 15 balls, with three fours.
