| Ruturaj Gaikwad | 21 | 18 | 1 | 0 | 116.66 |
|
7 OUT! TAKEN! Gaikwad's struggle comes to an end! This is very smart bowling, he kept bowling the slower ones and this time bangs in a short one, a seam-up ball. Gaikwad may not have been expecting it as he is quite late in the pull. It goes off the top edge and it is a simple catch to the keeper, Minod Bhanuka. Shanaka breaks the opening stand. Sri Lanka doing well at the moment and Shanaka continues to impress with the ball. 49/1

| Shikhar Dhawan C | 40 | 42 | 5 | 0 | 95.23 |
|
12.1 OUT! BOWLED! The pressure was building on India and Dhawan had to go for the big shot! Angles a full ball on middle and leg. Shikhar Dhawan gets on his knee and goes for the slog sweep but misses it completely. The ball sneaks under his bat and rattles the stump. 81/2

| Devdutt Padikkal | 29 | 23 | 1 | 1 | 126.08 |
|
15.3 OUT! TIMBER! Hasaranga has the last laugh and this is a big wicket. Padikkal was set and just as he would have tried to up the ante, he falls. This is a loopy ball, it is fuller and around off, Padikkal looks to sweep but misses. This turns back in and hits the off pole. India enter into the last 5 with relatively new batters, just what Sri Lanka wanted. 99/3

| Sanju Samson Wk | 7 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 53.84 |
|
16.4 OUT! TIMBER! Samson falls now and the Sri Lankan spinners are spinning a web around the Indians who are in a big hole right now. This is a lucky dismissal. Samson comes down the track and the length is shortened. On middle, holds its line. Samson looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad and then rolls behind onto the stumps. Samson had no idea where the ball is, he realized late, did try to stop it from rolling onto the wickets but fails to do so. Into the all-rounders now are Lanka. Can they keep India under 130? 104/4

| Nitish Rana | 9 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 75 |
|
19.4 OUT! CAUGHT! That is brilliant deception! Done in completely by the slower one. It is full and outside off, Rana initially looks to go over covers but then realizes he is way too early in the shot. He tries to stop but ends up chipping it to the man at covers. 130/5

|
2.4 OUT! CAUGHT! What a brilliant catch and India gets their first wicket. Chahar judged it beautifully and India gets an early inspiration, courtesy Rahul Chahar. A good length ball, on the pads, Avishka Fernando flicks this one aerially towards the fine leg region. Rahul Chahar runs to his right, takes the catch, just at the edge of the ropes. Realizes that he is going to go over the ropes, due to the momentum. He throws the ball back out, he runs in, gets back out and pouches this one. The third umpire is called to check if this is a clean catch and replays show that it is. Avishka Fernando walks back and India need some more of these. 121 needed in 104 balls. 12/1

| Minod Bhanuka Wk | 36 | 31 | 4 | 0 | 116.12 |
|
11.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Minod Bhanuka is sent back and Sri Lanka lose their fourth. The dropped chance does not prove too costly for the visitors. Pitches it up, fuller around off, tossed up too, Minod Bhanuka gets low and mows a slog sweep towards deep mid-wicket. No distance on this and Rahul Chahar takes it in the deep. Sri Lanka need a partnership here. 67 needed in 50 balls! 66/4

| Sadeera Samarawickrama | 8 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 66.66 |
|
7 OUT! TIMBER! Spin works for India as well. Sadeera Samarawickrama would have been wise if he played on the front foot. A tossed up ball, googly, around off. Sadeer goes on the back foot and looks to punch but leaves a big gap between the bat and the body. The ball sneaks through and shatters the leg pole. Sri Lanka 2 down now. 94 needed in 78 balls. 39/2

| Dasun Shanaka C | 3 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 50 |

9.1 OUT! STUMPED! Another one bites the dust and Sri Lanka are 3 down now! Flatter ball, around the leg pole. Dasun Shanaka comes down the track and looks to flick it but gets beaten by the spin. The ball passes his hips and Sanju Samson behind, does the rest. 55/3

|
15 OUT! CAUGHT! Rahul Chahar has struck on the very last ball of his spell and the dangerman, Wanindu Hasaranga goes back here. Could this be the wicket that changes India's fortunes? This is served shortish and outside off, it is spinning away too. Wanindu Hasaranga looks to slash it away, but the ball kisses the outside edge and lobs towards backward point, where Bhuvneshwar Kumar takes a few steps ahead and pouches this. Rahul Chahar is pumped up and he glares at Hasaranga, who just looks at him, smirks, does a gesture of clapping his glove against the blade and walks back. Pressure, tension! 94/5

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Chetan Sakariya gets his first wicket on his debut and Sri Lanka are 6 down now! Another slower length ball on middle and leg. Ramesh Mendis heaves it without much power. The ball goes high towards mid-wicket where Ruturaj Gaikwad runs ahead, settles under it and takes a simple catch. 28 needed in 16 balls. 105/6
