Shikhar Dhawan | 119 | 123 | 17 | 0 | 96.74 |
c Dinesh Chandimal b Malinda Pushpakumara
47.1 OUT! Malinda with his second! He's been superb since he's come on and has dismissed the two dangerous, set openers. Tossed up delivery, Dhawan kneels and sweeps it hard. This time, however, he doesn't keep it down and it flies towards Chandimal at square leg. He moves to his left and takes a good, sharp catch. Sri Lanka rejoice, but both the Indian wickets to fall have been soft dismissals. Can be argued that they threw it away. The Lankans won't mind, this is their chance to make further inroads. 219/2

KL Rahul | 85 | 135 | 8 | 0 | 62.96 |
c Dimuth Karunaratne b Malinda Pushpakumara
39.3 OUT! Rahul throws away yet another start! That's bowled flatter around middle, KL tried to go big over mid on, but didn't get to the pitch of the ball. All he managed to do is find a leaping Karunaratne there to perfection. The opener is distraught and why not! He had a 100 for the taking yet he's thrown it away. 188/1
|
|||||
Cheteshwar Pujara | 8 | 33 | 0 | 0 | 24.24 |
c Angelo Mathews b Lakshan Sandakan
50.1 OUT! Another wicket down! Sri Lanka have made their way back into this game in some fashion. Expecting the ball to turn in, Pujara goes back to cut but the ball holds its line. Takes the outside edge and brushes off Dickwella's gloves, before eventually settling into Angelo Mathews' safe hands. Good catch, wasn't an easy one by any means. 229/3
|
|||||
Virat Kohli C | 42 | 84 | 3 | 0 | 50 |
c Dimuth Karunaratne b Lakshan Sandakan
78.2 OUT! KOHLI DEPARTS! This is a big, big wicket for the hosts. The Indian skipper has been sent back and at a crucial juncture too. Tossed up well outside off and Kohli is seen going after this. Attempts to play his whippy cover drive and ends up getting a thick edge behind to Karunaratne at first slip, who takes a very good catch. 296/5
|
|||||
Ajinkya Rahane | 17 | 48 | 1 | 0 | 35.41 |
b Malinda Pushpakumara
65.4 OUT! Pushpakumara is doing the wicket-taking stuff today! Rahane plays a shot that he could have done without. Loopy ball around off and middle, Rahane looks to flick it towards the on side by taking a lunge forward. He missed the ball completely and finds the woodwork disturbed. The ball stayed a tad low and also he played for the turn that wasn't there. Another Indian wicket falls to spin in Pallekele. 264/4
|
|||||
Ravichandran Ashwin | 31 | 75 | 1 | 0 | 41.33 |
c Niroshan Dickwella b Vishwa Fernando
88 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Went fetching for a wide one and paid the price for it. Well outside off on a back of a length, Ashwin fishes for it and gets an edge. Flies behind where Dickwella dives full stretch to his right and takes a sensational catch. Sri Lanka with a much-needed wicket towards the end of day's play. Good stuff from them. 322/6
|
|||||
Wriddhiman Saha Wk | 16 | 43 | 0 | 0 | 37.20 |
c Dilruwan Perera b Vishwa Fernando
91.3 OUT! Early success for Sri Lanka and Fernando. Back of a length ball outside off, Saha sees an opportunity to collect runs. He cuts that but does so straight to Perera at gully, who takes a smart catch. Probably that bounced more than he expected, but he could have done better there. This will pump the hosts up. 339/7
|
|||||
Hardik Pandya | 108 | 96 | 8 | 7 | 112.5 |
c Dilruwan Perera b Lakshan Sandakan
122.3 OUT! Pandya holes out! Maiden five-wicket haul for Lakshan Sandakan. He has been smart with his variations and has rightly reaped the rewards. Tosses this one well outside off, encouraging Pandya to go for an expansive stroke. He looks to go downtown but his bottom hand comes off while playing that. He ends up slicing it over covers. Dilruwan Perera in the deep settles under it and takes it comfortably. INDIA GET BOWLED OUT FOR 487! 487/10
|
|||||
Kuldeep Yadav | 26 | 73 | 2 | 0 | 35.61 |
c Niroshan Dickwella b Lakshan Sandakan
111 OUT! The on-field call stays! Floated on off, turns away after pitching. Yadav prods forward to counter it but only manages to get a faint outside edge. Dickwella behind the stumps collects it nicely and appeals. Up goes the umpire's finger. Kuldeep however opts for a review. Turns out to be a wasted one as the Snickometer spots the nick. The southpaw walks back after a stubborn knock. The 62-run stand is broken by Sandakan. 401/8
|
|||||
Mohammed Shami | 8 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 61.53 |
c & b Lakshan Sandakan
114.2 OUT! Shami gets lured into a false stroke and pays the price for it! Slow through the air around off, Shami takes a couple of steps down the track and drills it back towards Sandakan. He is alert, positions himself well and takes a reverse cup near his face. Sandakan gets his third wicket, he has bowled well. 421/9

c Wriddhiman Saha b Mohammed Shami
4.3 OUT! The previous match centurion departs cheaply this time. A beaut of a length ball outside off, coming in to Karunaratne and leaves him ever so slightly as he plays at the original line. The ball takes the edge of the bat and goes low to Saha, who bends his left knee to pouch it smartly. Excellent bowling, even better catching. The umpire went upstairs to check if the catch was clean for which the third umpire returned an affirmation. 23/2

Upul Tharanga | 5 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 100 |
c Wriddhiman Saha b Mohammed Shami
2.3 OUT! Sri Lanka waste a review! Fuller in length outside off, swings in a touch. Tharanga pushes at it with minimal foot movement and gets a faint nick. Saha dives to his right and takes a good low catch. The Indians go up in an appeal in unison and the umpire obliges. Upul walks across to Karunaratne and the latter tells him to go for the DRS. The Ultra Edge confirms the nick. Tharanga is disappointed and has to walk back. 14/1
|
|||||
Kusal Mendis | 18 | 19 | 4 | 0 | 94.73 |
run out (Kuldeep Yadav)
8.5 OUT! Sri Lanka are in disarray here in Pallekele! A run out it is that leads to Mendis' downfall. Fuller ball around off and middle, flicked wide of mid on. Mendis runs down in search of a run, but is sent back as Ashwin at mid on runs to his right and makes a diving stop. He has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. It would have been curtains for Kusal if he had hit. But Kuldeep at covers, backs up that throw and immediately hits the stumps down at the bowler's end, while Shami is seen reacting to the first throw. The third umpire is called for and on replays, the batsman is found short. 38/3
|
|||||
Dinesh Chandimal C | 48 | 87 | 6 | 0 | 55.17 |
c Lokesh Rahul b Ravichandran Ashwin
31.3 OUT! Soft dismissal in the end for the Lankan skipper! This wicket might hasten their fall. Tossed up delivery around off and middle, Chandimal looks to flick it. But he does so straight to leg gully, where Rahul doesn't falter. He was looking decent out there as he was approaching a 50. Ashwin gets a wicket, Sri Lanka trail by 362. 125/7
|
|||||
Angelo Mathews | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
lbw b Hardik Pandya
9.3 OUT! The wicket-to-wicket line has done the trick for Hardik Pandya! He is having a terrific day. Smart bowling brings in another dismissal. Length delivery on middle and leg, stays low. Mathews hangs back to keep it out but gets pinged low on the front pad. A confident appeal follows and up goes the umpire's finger. The former captain doesn't review it and keeps walking back to the dressing room. It looked quite plumb. Sri Lanka are in dire straits now. 38/4
|
|||||
Niroshan Dickwella Wk | 29 | 31 | 4 | 0 | 93.54 |
st Wriddhiman Saha b Kuldeep Yadav
20.3 OUT! Yes, this was coming once you couldn't pick the spinner yet were intent on attacking him. That was a tossed up wrong 'un around middle, inviting Dickwella to go for a big shot. He does so and ends up missing the ball completely. Saha behind didn't miss the stumping chance and that ends Niroshan's expressive innings. 101/5
|
|||||
Dilruwan Perera | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
c Hardik Pandya b Kuldeep Yadav
22.1 OUT! There are days when good balls go for runs and on some, even bad balls fetch you wickets! A rank half-tracker on middle, Perera either could have hit it anywhere out of the park or nudged somewhere round the corner for some runs. Instead he decides to go aerially and ends up picking out the lone man, Hardik Pandya, at deep mid-wicket to perfection. The hosts are just disintegrating quickly here. 107/6
|
|||||
Malinda Pushpakumara | 10 | 27 | 2 | 0 | 37.03 |
b Kuldeep Yadav
32.2 OUT! Bowled 'em! Another one bites the dust! Full delivery around middle, skids on through the surface. Pushpakumara misreads the length, comes a couple of steps down the track and ends up yorking himself. Misses it altogether to get the furniture behind him shattered. Sri Lanka in complete disarray! Kuldeep gets his third wicket. 125/8
|
|||||
Lakshan Sandakan | 10 | 24 | 2 | 0 | 41.66 |
c Shikhar Dhawan b Ravichandran Ashwin
37.4 OUT! That's the final nail in the coffin! Short delivery on middle and leg, spinning down. Sandakan rocks back and looks to pull it through square leg but only manages to get a thick inside edge onto his thigh pad. The ball spoons behind and goes to the left side of Dhawan at leg gully who pouches it safely. A brilliant bowling display from India. SRI LANKA ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 135! 135/10
|
|||||
Vishwa Fernando | 10 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
b Kuldeep Yadav
36.5 OUT! Kuldeep is having a great outing, gets a 4-fer to his name! Bowls this one slower through the air around off and gets it to turn in appreciably. Fernando looks to defend it tentatively but gets an inside edge onto his pads. Then, the ball deflects back to crash into the stumps. The misery continues for the hosts. 135/9

c Ajinkya Rahane b Ravichandran Ashwin
15.3 OUT! Excellent delivery to get early in the morning. Ashwin bowls it flatter around off, which the batsman had to play. Karunaratne gets on to the back foot and pokes his bat at that. The extra bounce means that the ball brushes his gloves and lobs straight into the waiting hands of Rahane at first slip. Not much different he could have done there. 26/2

Upul Tharanga | 7 | 31 | 1 | 0 | 22.58 |
b Umesh Yadav
10.4 OUT! Timber shattered! Umesh Yadav strikes as Tharanga departs for the second time today. The field placement from Kohli does the trick. There was a deep point in place for the batsman to take a single and get off strike and this greed has consumed the opener. Length ball just outside off, he tried to play in that region, instead gets an inside edge on to the off stump. Excellent thought process from India. 15/1
|
|||||
Malinda Pushpakumara | 1 | 32 | 0 | 0 | 3.12 |
c Wriddhiman Saha b Mohammed Shami
20.2 OUT! The wonderful seam position from Shami yields him a wicket now. Length ball, slightly on the fuller side just outside off and gets some away movement. Pushpakumara just pokes at it and ends up edging the ball which Saha gobbles up. Too good a delivery to a nightwatchman. 34/3
|
|||||
Kusal Mendis | 12 | 21 | 2 | 0 | 57.14 |
lbw b Mohammed Shami
22.5 OUT! Shami gets his revenge! Mendis has to walk back now. Length ball around off and middle, angling in to the batsman and swinging in a bit. He looks to flick but misses and gets rapped on the pads. Once that happens, the appeal and the finger-raising is just a formality, which is completed to end his stay at the crease. It looked plumb to the naked eye, but Hawk Eye showed that it just clipped the leg stump. There wasn't a need even to think about reviewing that. 39/4
|
|||||
Dinesh Chandimal C | 36 | 89 | 4 | 0 | 40.44 |
c Cheteshwar Pujara b Kuldeep Yadav
50.3 OUT! There comes the breakthrough! Kuldeep bowls it on middle and leg, Chandimal looks to nudge it through mid-wicket. Gets it onto his pads and it goes straight to Pujara at short leg. That is a wicket gifted by the Sri Lankan captain. Second time he has played one straight into the hands of the fielder. Kuldeep helps India break the stand. Sri Lanka still trail by 248 runs. 104/5
|
|||||
Angelo Mathews | 35 | 96 | 2 | 1 | 36.45 |
lbw b Ravichandran Ashwin
54 OUT! Sri Lanka lose Mathews as well as a review. And it's the missed sweep that brings about his downfall. Tossed up ball around off and middle, Mathews got down to sweep, but it was too full and he couldn't make any contact. The ball struck his pad, the Indians appealed, which the umpire upheld. Mathews went up for the review. The replays were rolled over numerous times, more so the Snicko. The Ball Tracker showed that the ball was clipping the leg stump. Mathews has to go. 118/6
|
|||||
Niroshan Dickwella Wk | 41 | 52 | 5 | 0 | 78.84 |
c Ajinkya Rahane b Umesh Yadav
69.5 OUT! What a smart catch by Rahane! Dickwella was backing away to slap one. Umesh bowls it in the area he has to, length on middle and leg, following the batsman. Dickwella dabs it but hits it straight to Rahane at gully who takes a sharp reflex catch diving to his left. That was really well taken and the end is nigh! 168/9
|
|||||
Dilruwan Perera | 8 | 23 | 1 | 0 | 34.78 |
c Hardik Pandya b Ravichandran Ashwin
59.3 OUT! Perera, what have you done? A tossed up delivery outside off, Perera is enticed to go for the big shot. He doesn't hold back, goes for the slog sweep and skies it towards deep mid-wicket. Pandya runs to his right, settles under the ball and pouches it safely. A needless shot really. 138/7

Lakshan Sandakan | 8 | 24 | 2 | 0 | 33.33 |
c Wriddhiman Saha b Mohammed Shami
68.3 OUT! Edged and taken! Good length outside off, bounces a tad more, Sandakan looks to force it through the off side again but this time he gets an edge. Saha goes to his right and takes a good catch in front of first slip. That is the third wicket for Shami! Sri Lanka still trail by 186. 166/8
