1.5 OUT! LBW! Maheesh Theekshana strikes and this is a big wicket of KL Rahul! India lose an early wicket and Sri Lankan fans in the ground are delighted. Maheesh Theekshana fires this on middle and Rahul tries to flick it by coming down the track again. He misses and gets hit on his boot. Maheesh Theekshana makes a loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger much to the disappointment of Indian fans. However, KL Rahul reviews it. The replays roll in and the UltraEdge shows no bat involved here. The Ball Tracking rolls and it shows umpire's call on wicket's hitting. So, the original decision stays and KL Rahul has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. 11/1

12.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Rohit Sharma holes out in the deep! A wicket against the run of play here and the Indian skipper departs after a fantastic counter-attacking knock.

The ball goes aerially towards deep cover and straight into the hands of Pathum Nissanka there. Important wicket for Sri Lanka and finally they get the breakthrough. 110/3

11.1 OUT! CAUGHT! There is the first wicket for India! Yuzvendra Chahal provides the breakthrough! Chahal bowls it fuller and around leg. Nissanka makes room and goes for the reverse-sweep. He hits it flat but fails to find the gap as Rohit Sharma at point takes a fine catch to his left. A much-needed wicket for India and can they capitalise on this now? 97/1

| Kusal Mendis Wk | 57 | 37 | 4 | 3 | 154.05 |
|
14.1 OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust and this time it is Kusal Mendis! What a breakthrough this is for India and Sri Lanka are in a spot of bother now. Chahal is a clever bowler and is a world-class performer and he is clearly showing all his class today. Bowls a flatter delivery. It is googly that pitches on middle and turns in. Mendis goes back to work it towards the leg side but misses. The ball hits his pads and after a huge appeal from Chahal, the umpire raises his finger. Mendis though goes for the review and the UltraEdge shows no bat here. The Ball Tracking rolls and it shows three reds. Mendis has to take that long walk back to the pavilion. 110/4

13.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Ravichandran Ashwin strikes and India get the third wicket now! Sri Lanka are losing their way a bit now. Three wickets in quick succession for India and they are well and truly back in this game now. The good thing that Ashwin does here is that he bowls a nicely flighted delivery, outside off at 84 kph. Danushka Gunathilaka tries to go over the top but does not get the middle of his blade and ends up hitting it straight to KL Rahul at long on. He makes no mistake and Indians are pumped up here. 110/3
