SL vs IND Live Cricket Score

0.4 OUT! SCREAMER! Big wicket first up! Sri Lanka get Rohit Sharma very early in the piece. This is a length ball in line of the stumps, Sharma looks to hit it over mid off. He ends up getting more height than distance. Jeevan Mendis backtracks from that position and takes a good catch with a dive. Mind you, he is more than 35 years of age yet he has pulled this one off like a youngster. A blob for the Indian skipper, just what the hosts would have wanted. 1/1

18 OUT! Danushka Gunathilaka gets the big scalp! Dhawan falls 10 short of the triple-figure mark. Gets a nice full floated delivery on off, he looks to go over long off, mindful of the fielder there. Perera sees that the ball is coming straight to him and takes it by keeping his eyes on the ball. Hush! Perhaps Sri Lanka can now get a breather. Maybe with Pant not able to strike big, Dhawan had to take the onus upon himself and departs in the process. 153/4

2 OUT! BOWLED! Raina misses the full toss and the ball goes and hits the timber. Slower ball, Raina gives room and completely misses the ball trying to cut it on the off side. The ball crashes into the middle stump and sends Raina back to the hut. What a start for the Lankans! 9/2

12.4 OUT! That's it for Manish Pandey tonight. We all know how dangerous he can be towards the end and hence, no wonder why the Lankans are elated. Seeing the tossed up ball, Pandey slinks down the track to hit it over the bowler's head. Ends up getting it off the inner half. The ball travels straight to Gunathilaka at deep mid-wicket who doesn't mess it up. A big partnership comes to an end. Can Sri Lanka build on this? 104/3

20 OUT! That's all. Pant doesn't trouble the scorers much after hitting the previous boundary. Perhaps this signals his troubles in his innings. This is short down the leg side. He gets inside the line and pulls it straight down fine leg's throat. Pradeep there pockets it safely to RESTRICT INDIA TO 174/5! 174/5

5 OUT! One too many! India get the breakthrough. Slow ball in line of the stumps and Gunathilaka looks to go downtown. He is undone by the pace on that and ends up chipping it in the air. The ball goes towards mid off and Pant gets under it and takes a simple catch. A good catch to end the mayhem. A quickfire 58-run partnership for Sri Lanka comes to an end. Will India sneak through the line-up now? 70/2

1.3 OUT! India get an early wicket. Sundar is not afraid to toss the ball up even after getting hit for a boundary. He does so and deceives Mendis in the flight. Kusal looks to play a big shot over the on side and ends up skewing it off the outer half towards mid off. Dhawan there, backtracks and pouches it safely. Excellent bowling by the youngster and Mendis has to walk back early. 12/1

12.3 OUT! Is this the wicket that turns it around for India? Sundar is the man, who has provided the breakthrough for them. This is floated outside off, Perera comes down the track in search of a big shot. Misses the ball completely and Dinesh Karthik does the rest. This is exceptional stuff from the youngster, considering that he is bowling at a time when the batters are in a murderous mood. 48 more needed off 45 balls. 127/4

8.5 OUT! Chahal gets the skipper. Beautifully bowled by the spinner. Quicker through the air and Chandimal charges down the wicket but ends up yorking himself. Tries to flick it on the leg side but leaves a gap between bat and pad which is enough for the ball to go through and disturb the furniture. 98/3

14.4 OUT! Woodwork! This is flatter on a length around off, Tharanga hangs on the back foot and looks to heave it over the on side. Ends up missing the ball and finds his off stump pegged back. Chahal has this wonderful character of striking when the attack is on him. Does exactly the same now. 136/5
