SL vs IND Live Cricket Score

6.1 OUT! STUMPED! Hasaranga comes, and Hasaranga strikes! Two wickets in two balls for Sri Lanka. Starts off from over the stumps, delivers a flatter wrong'un straightaway, on off and it turns degrees away with the bounce off the deck. Yashasvi Jaiswal is drawn forward but he doesn't read the googly coming off Hasaranga's hands and plays inside the line of the ball to push it away. Misses out on the outside edge. Kusal Mendis behind the stumps, collects the ball cleanly, and whips off the bails in a flash. The TV umpire wants to check whether Jaiswal's back leg is in time or not. Side-on replay comes up and confirms that Jaiswal got off balance trying to drag his foot back inside the popping crease and it was marginally outside when the stumps were broken. A double blow to India and Sri Lankans are delighted. 74/2

6 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Brilliant effort by Asitha Fernando and finally, Sri Lanka get a breakthrough. At first, just for a moment, it felt like Fernando gave it away for the converging fielder to catch it but eventually went for it. Dilshan Madushanka bowls it full and takes pace off slightly by rolling his fingers on the leather, and lands it outside off. Shubman Gill gets over-ambitious as he finds the length in his arc and swooshes his bat, but he tries to hit it too hard and loses his shape. Hence, slices it up in the night sky with no real timing. The ball balloons up in the air for a fair bit of time. Asitha Fernando running to his left from mid on, eventually after a casual approach, manages to take the catch. 74/1

13.2 PLUMB IN FRONT! Or is it? Suryakumar Yadav walks up to Rishabh Pant and with one second left on the timer, he takes the review. This looks like a review more in hope than anything else as SKY missed a straight delivery, playing across the line. Pathirana hurls it at 149 kph, a hint of tail in, on middle, Suryakumar Yadav hangs on the back foot and goes for a swipe across the line. Gets beaten for pace as the ball zips past the inside edge. Gets rapped on the front pad and up goes the finger. No bat is involved on UltraEdge and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. A fine knock nonetheless by the newly appointed Indian captain. Matheesha Pathirana gives Sri Lanka a much-needed breakthrough and they will hope to build on this scalp as they look to finish strongly. 150/3

18.5 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Matheesha Pathirana gets his fourth wicket! What a sensational spell of bowling this has been from him. Pace on, an attempted yorker, attacking the off stumps, Rishabh Pant looks to hoist it over the leg side, across the line but misses out big time. The ball sneaks past his edge and disturbs the off-pole. Pant departs one shy from his half-century. 201/6

16.3 OUT! YOU MISS I HIT, SAYS PATHIRANA! Second wicket for him. Matheesha Pathirana spears in a toe-crushing yorker on the leg stump line, breathing fire at 151 kph, Hardik Pandya moves to the leg side to open the off side for him, clears his front foot again to go big but gets undone by the pace and is a bit late to bring his bat down to connect. The ball ricochets off his back pad and rattles the furniture. A Matheesha Pathirana special yorker does the trick. Hardik Pandya departs. 176/4

18.1 OUT! LBW! A loud shout for LBW and up goes the finger! Pathirana is on a roll here. He delivers another vicious yorker with a searing pace, slightly tailing into the leg stump line, Riyan Parag stays rooted in the crease and looks to hoick it over the in-field but is months late to bring his bat down. It pings his front pad and looks pretty much plumb. Riyan Parag chats with Pant for going upstairs but eventually aborts and walks away. Third wicket for Matheesha Pathirana. 192/5

19.4 OUT! PLAYED ON! Asitha Fernando from over the wickets, delivers a deceptive slower one which comes off as a knuckle ball, Rinku Singh sits down attempting to play that big heave across the line. But he is very early into his shot and swings down his bat before the ball arrives at him, and ends up inside edging it into the stumps. Finally, a wicket for Asitha Fernando after somewhat an ordinary day in the field. 206/7

14.1 OUT! BEATEN ALL ENDS UP! Axar Patel to India's rescue! Patel feeds in a quicker one, on a flatter trajectory and gets the ball to slide into the batter on a good length. Pathum Nissanka is totally cramped up for room and tries to create some width by shuffling to the leg side. But fails to get any bat on it and the ball skids past his inside edge to dismantle the furniture. Pathum Nissanka departs after a terrific knock of 79 (48). 140/2

8.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Arshdeep Singh with a nice comeback! The knucke ball does the trick for Arshdeep and India finally have a breakthrough. A fine knock nonetheless by Kusal Mendis and he has given the start Sri Lanka were after. Arshdeep bowls the knuckle ball and bangs it into the deck, over middle. Kusal Mendis attempts the pull again but does not have the pace to work with. Fails to get the desired power behind it and it goes only as far as deep mid-wicket. Spoons a simple catch to Yashasvi Jaiswal in the deep who makes no mistake. The 84-run opening stand has been broken now as Kusal Mendis perishes on 45 (27). 84/1

15 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Big, big moment in the game as both set batters are into the sheds in the span of just 5 deliveries. Axar Patel strikes with a double blow. Axar goes full and varies his pace this time around. Lands it a bit slow and around the middle and off corridor, Kusal Perera sees the length into his arc and goes for an expansive sweep shot but hits it aerially with no real timing on it. The travels straight down the throat of Ravi Bishnoi at deep square leg. Bishnoi with his redemption in the field. The dangerous Kusal Perera departs on 20 (14). 149/3

16.4 OUT! TIMBER! The move to bring Riyan Parag into the attack has paid off for India and how. Maiden international wicket for Parag as he is chuffed to bits. Parag drifts it in from around the wicket, short and turning away, on off. Kamindu Mendis makes room to access the off side and throws his hands at the delivery. The ball pitches and spins away to go past the bat and it goes through to rattle into the off pole. 161/6

16 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The wounded Ravi Bishnoi strikes! Wickets off successive overs for India and the spin twins are doing it for them. Charith Asalanka falls for a duck with Sri Lanka needing 56 runs off the last 4 overs. Ravi Bishnoi stays over the wicket and tosses it up, full and turning away as it is the googly, on middle, Charith Asalanka gets down for the slog sweep but gets a top edge as the ball spins away. Skies it high in the air towards deep backward square leg where Yashasvi Jaiswal settles under the skier and takes it. 158/4

16.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Would you believe it? The hard hitting Dasun Shanaka is out without facing a ball. Sri Lanka continue to lose their way in the chase. From 140/1, they have slipped to 160/5. Riyan Parag starts from around the wicket and bowls an off-break, full and outside off, Kamindu Mendis brings out the reverse sweep and gets a feather on it. The ball beats Rishabh Pant to his left. Mohammed Siraj at short third gives it a chase as the batters decide to run the third one. Siraj turns around and fires in a throw at the batting end. Dasun Shanaka puts in a dive as Rishabh Pant takes the bails off. It is refereed upstairs and the replays show that the dive was not enough for Shanka as he had no point of his bat inside the crease when the stumps were disturbed. 160/5

17.1 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Arshdeep Singh strikes on his return to the attack as India strengthen their grip on the game. Arshdeep digs it in short, on off. Wanindu Hasaranga hangs back and tries to flat-bat it over mid on. Hasaranaga fails to clear the man there as he gets it off the upper half of the bat. Riyan Parag at mid on, backtracks a bit and takes an easy catch near his chest. This has been dramatic collapse for Sri Lanka after a solid opening stand. 163/7

19.1 OUT! CASTLED! Riyan Parag has another! Parag comes from over the wicket and fires it in, on a full length, on the leg pole, Maheesh Theekshana ends up giving himself too much room to go through the off side. He plays outside the line of the ball and gets an outside edge that deflects onto the leg pole. Second wicket of the night for Parag. 170/9

18.5 OUT! TAKEN! Mohammed Siraj gets on the wickets' column! Siraj keeps it full and straight, Matheesha Pathirana clears his front leg to go down the ground. Gets it off the inner half of the bat and spoons a simple catch to the man there. Axar Patel takes a few steps back and takes it over his head. 170/8

19.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Make that third wicket for Riyan Parag! Two in two for Parag as India wrap things up. This has been a collapse of some enormity. At one point in the game, Sri Lanka were 140/1, only to lose their last 9 wickets for 30 runs to be bowled out for 170. Coming to the delivery, this was bowled from the back of the hand by Parag, fuller and quicker, on middle and leg, Dilshan Madushanka exposes all his stumps and swings with all his might. Misses the line of the ball and sees his woodwork disturbed. India win the series opener. 170/10
