IND vs SL Live Cricket Score

6.2 OUT! TAKEN! Sahan Arachchige returns and strikes again. The captain is making a strong impact. Loopy, outside off, with a bit of turn on it. Sooryavanshi comes dancing down the track, looking to loft this one away but ends up with a top edge instead. The ball balloons towards short third, where Sineth Jayawardena makes no mistake. Almost a carbon copy of the dismissal that accounted for Abhishek. Vaibhav falls after an entertaining innings, and India are 59/3 in 6.2 overs. 59/3

1.2 OUT! TAKEN! Sahan Arachchige gets the big fish. He loops it up, a bit wider, on a shorter length. Abhishek Sharma makes room for himself, reaches out to it and looks to loft it over covers. The ball turns away and catches the outside edge of Abhishek Sharma's bat and lobs straight into the hands of Sineth Jayawardena at short third, who makes no mistake. India are 12/1. 12/1

3 OUT! TIMBER! Tharindu Ratnayake strikes and that's a massive blow. That one kept low. Flatter, on leg, and it keeps a tad low while drifting into the batter. Sanju Samson tries to create room by backing away and looks to cut it but fails to get his bat down in time. The ball sneaks beneath his bat and rattles over the stumps. India are 24/2 after 3 overs. 24/2

9.4 OUT! TIMBER! That's a jaffa from Wanuja Sahan. This one lands on middle and turns away from the right-hander. Shreyas Iyer reaches out to it and looks to drive it but gets beaten on the turn as the ball rattles over the stumps. Wanuja has bowled an absolute beauty to get rid of the Indian skipper. 87/4

13.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Axar fails to cash in on the promotion. Full and tossed up outside off, and this one grips before turning away sharply. Axar is lured into going after it and ends up in an ugly heave across the line by getting low on his knee. A thick leading edge is found, and the ball balloons straight up in the air, swirling briefly before Arachchige, moving a few steps to his right at cover, calmly pockets an easy chance. India are 112/5 in 13.5 overs. 112/5

15 OUT! STUMPED! Brilliant bowling from Nuwanidu. Fullish delivery, tossed up outside off, dipping late and turning away sharply, and Tilak pokes at it by lunging forward, but gets beaten comfortably on the outside edge. In doing so, his back foot drags outside the crease, and Livera is quick to whip the bails off. The replays confirm it, Tilak was just short of home. India have been reduced to 125/6 with 5 overs to go in the first innings. 125/6

18.5 OUT! CAUGHT SPECTACULARLY! The bowler cannot believe it, the batter cannot believe, standing in absolute disbelief. Full and tossed up outside off, and Dube goes after it, looking to drill this through the off side. He ends up getting it uppishly to the left of extra cover, where Arachchige flings himself full length to his left and plucks the ball out of thin air with an outstretched left hand. An absolute stunner from the Sri Lankan skipper. 151/7

0.2 OUT! LBW! India strike early, and it is Bumrah who delivers the goods with the first breakthrough. An absolute ripper from Jasprit as he lands it on a fuller length and gets the ball shape in late, right in front of the stumps. Sineth Jayawardena is pinned in the crease and has an ugly swipe across the line. Gets beaten comprehensively on the inside edge and is struck on the back pad. A confident appeal is enough for the umpire to raise his finger. Dead straight and Sri Lanka are 0/1, chasing 170 runs. 0/1

1.1 OUT! CROOSPULLE IS RUN OUT! Brilliance in the field from the Indians, and Sri Lanka are falling apart badly now. Good length, outside off, gripping and turning away, and Fernando hangs back, guiding it late towards Bishnoi at backward point with an open face. He goes for a risky single. Croospulle is caught napping and has to scramble across, and crucially, he does not go for the dive, a decision that costs him. Bishnoi races in, picks up and fires in a direct hit at the batting end, finding just the one stump to aim at and nailing it in style. The replays confirm that the batter is short of his crease by a fair bit. Sri Lanka are 2/3, needing 168 runs. 2/3

0.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That's a spectacular catch by Samson. The Indians are delighted and Bumrah has two to his name already. Fuller than the one before, outside off, nipping away just a touch, and Sohan de Livera pokes at it again, away from his body. The outside edge is thick, and the ball shoots low towards Samson's left. Samson commits to his right first, but quickly makes amends and pivots back the other way, and still manages to get his outstretched left hand under it to complete the catch. Sri Lanka have been rocked early as they are 0/2, needing 170 runs. 0/2

4.5 OUT! NUWANIDU IS RUN OUT! After clubbing a couple of sixes, that's a really poor way to go. Full and flat, outside off. Fernando goes for the reverse sweep, getting it off the inside half, fine down to the left of Axar at backward point. Both batters set off for the run, but for some reason, Chamika stops and that forces Nuwanidu to retreat from halfway. But he's backing up too far and Axar relays it to Samson, who whips the bails off with ease. And honestly, there was no run there to begin with, but the coordination between the batters could have been a lot better regardless. It's spiralling badly for Sri Lanka now, 31 for 6, and needing 139 off 91 balls. 31/6

3.1 OUT! TAKEN AT 45! Axar strikes now and India are completely over the Lankans now. Patel dishes out a full ball, landing it around middle and leg and gets some bounce on it. Sahan Arachchige goes down on a knee to sweep but gets a top edge and the ball bobbles straight towards Vaibhav Sooryavanshi stationed at short fine leg. Sri Lanka are 18/4, needing 152 runs from 101 balls. 18/4

3.4 OUT! CAUGHT BY SUNDAR! Another one bites the dust with Axar having two to his name now. Beautifully tossed up, drifting back into the right-hander and gripping with a bit of turn and bounce off the surface. Bandara goes down on one knee, committing fully to the slog sweep. He gets a massive top edge, and the ball sails high towards deep mid-wicket, where Sundar completes a comfortable catch. And within a blink, Sri Lanka have been reduced to 18/5. 18/5

9.4 OUT! STUMPED! Lightning-fast glovework from Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma also gets a wicket here. He tosses it up, full and on off, gets it to grip and turn away sharply. Chamika Karunaratne gets drawn forward and tries to drive it away but the ball spins past the outside edge, and he also loses his balance, dragging his back foot outside the crease. Samson collects and breaks the stumps in a flash. The square leg umpire raises his finger. India need just one wicket now. 45/9

6.2 OUT! TAKEN! Washington Sundar gets among the wickets as well. He floats it up, full and just around off, turning it away again. Wanuja Sahan changes his stance early and goes for the reverse sweep, but the ball bounces a bit more than he expected. It takes the outside edge and lobs up straight to first slip, where Abhishek Sharma makes no mistake. Sri Lanka are reeling at 33/7 now. 33/7

9.3 OUT! RATNAYAKE IS RUN OUT! Third one of the innings, and Chamika Karunaratne has been involved in two of those. Abhishek Sharma drops it short, on off, Chamika stabs it out towards point. Tharindu Ratnayake sets off for a run, and his partner responds initially but then sells him down the river. He turns back, but it is too late by then. Tilak Varma picks up the ball, takes aim, and hits a bullseye at the bowler's end, with one stump to aim. India are two wickets away from the win now. 45/8

9.5 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Abhishek Sharma wraps things up with a beauty, and Sri Lanka have been bundled out for just 45, in pursuit of 170. INDIA WIN BY 124 RUNS! This is the arm ball, full and on middle, skids through and angles in sharply. Binura Fernando gets cramped up in the crease and plays completely down the wrong line, as the ball goes through and crashes into the stumps. 3 wickets in 3 balls to seal the deal for the Men in Blue. 45/10
