21:15 IST: That was like committing suicide. There was never a second run there and on top of that, Gunathilaka took on the strong arm of Umesh Yadav. India, lucky to get a breakthrough.

21:13 IST: Call for two but not there. Gunathilaka still goes for the second run and Dhoni takes off the bails in a flash. This will be close. Replays suggest he is short of the crease. Gunathilaka run out 76 (72)

21:11 IST: Four! A short ball from Kohli to start of the over and Mendis makes no mistake. Puts it away for a boundary.

21:10 IST: Virat Kohli trying everything now. He has brought himself on to the attack.

21:09 IST: Four runs coming of the Jadhav over. Considering how others have gone in the past 15 overs or so, this is a relatively quiet over.

21:07 IST: So Kohli left with no other choice brings on Kedhar Jadhav to break the partnership.

21:05 IST: Four! Short from Pandya and Mendis just helps it for a boundary. Big over from Pandya coming to an end. 15 runs came of that over.

21:05 IST: Six! Top edge from Mendis and it has carried all the way over the top of the wicket-keeper's head.

21:04 IST: Four! Mendis hits it straight and finds the boundary.

21:02 IST: Dropped! Gunathilaka tries to straight over the top, didn't time it that well and Rohit Sharma at long on came running on, did all the hard work but couldn't hold on to the catch. Tough chance.

20:56 IST: Four! Width on offer from Jadeja and Gunathilaka puts it away in style. This is not looking good for India. The defending champions need a breakthrough now.

20:55 IST: Four! Now Gunathilaka gets into the act. Brings out the reverse sweep. Jadeja is turning out to be expensive here.

20:29 IST: Ravindra Jadeja comes on to the attack.

20:24 IST: Four! Great shot again by Gunathilaka. Hit with a straight bat and it goes to the boundary at the rate of knots.

20:19 IST: Pandya pitches it up and Mendis hits it straight back to the bowler. Difficult caught and bowled chance gone a-begging.

20:15 IST: Gunathilaka goes for the quick single and that would have been tight had Virat Kohli picked up the ball cleanly. That will probably go down as a missed run out chance.

20:13 IST: Hit uppishly to mid on but just falls short of Virat Kohli there. Gunathilaka needs to be careful here.

20:12 IST: After 13 overs Sri Lanka are 62 for 1. Gunathilaka 31*, Mendis 23*

20:10 IST: Hardik Pandya comes on as the second change bowler for India.

20:06 IST: Four! Back of a length ball and Mendis hits it on the up. Good shot through the covers.

20:05 IST: Jasprit Bumrah comes on to the attack. Replaces Umesh Yadav.

20:02 IST: Four! Top edge and it goes straight over the top of the keeper's head for a boundary. Doesn't matter how they come, Sri Lanka will take it anyway. Mendis survives a scare. 50-up for Sri Lanka with that boundary.

20:00 IST: Sri Lanka 44 for 1 after 10 overs.

19:57 IST: Four! Yadav pitches it up and Gunathilaka hits it straight past the bowler. Great shot.

19:56 IST: Not the best of starts for Sri Lanka chasing India's mammoth total. India, on the other hand, have started things well with the ball in hand.

19:53 IST: Four! Bhuvneshwar finds the edge but no second slip. Kusal Mendis picks up his first boundary.

19:50 IST: Four! Right up there and Gunathilaka picks his spot and hits it through covers.

19:48 IST: Just as we speak, Gunathilaka hooks and hooks well. That's gone all the way. Sri Lanka get a move on. The pace of Umesh Yadav helped Gunathilaka get it over the top of fine-leg.

19:47 IST: So runs are coming in singles for Sri Lanka. At this rate the asking rate would shoot up pretty quickly.

19:43 IST: Sri Lanka 17 for 1 in 6 overs.

19:40 IST: Four! Gunathilaka stands up tall and hits it through covers. Sri Lanka get their first boundary.

19:38 IST: Kusal Mendis is the new man in, replacing Dickwella.

19:36 IST: Wicket: Dickwella departs in trying to manufacture something out of nothing. Bhuvi strikes for India as Jadeja at point takes a simple catch. Poor shot selection at the end. Sri Lanka 11 for 1 after 4.4 overs.

19:35 IST: Bhuvi bowls the knuckle ball and beats the bat. Both the Sri Lankans openers are struggling to get things moving for their team at the moment.

19:30 IST: Umesh Yadav sharing the new ball with Bhuvneshwar, is bowling at good pace at the moment.

19:29 IST: Three runs coming of the third over. Sri Lanka 7 for 0 in 3 overs.

19:19 IST: Niroshan Dickwella gets off the mark with a couple. Sri Lanka are away.

19:10 IST: So both the Sri Lankan openers are out there in the middle. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start the proceedings for India.

— ICC (@ICC) June 8, 2017

14:15 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between India and Sri Lanka. This is India's second game of the tournament, having already beaten Pakistan. The Men in Blue will look to continue their winning run and move a step closer to securing a semi-final berth.

India can't afford to set a good score and then have the asking rate shaved off when they field. But given the fact that India can set very heavy targets and then defend them, Kohli would likely stick to Plan A - field first.

If the Indian team has any concerns, it would be the fielding. While the side by and large is an efficient unit in the field, the Pakistan match was a nightmare. It was only because Pakistan were worse in all aspect of the game that India polished off a big win.

Sri Lanka are not likely to give an inch on that aspect, so India will have to tighten up their ground fielding and the abysmal catching, in double-quick time.

On paper, the two sides are a total mismatch. While India ticked almost all the boxes in their victory against Pakistan, the Sri Lankans, in their opening fixture, looked as if they have only entered the tournament to add numbers.

The winners of the last edition have a formidable batting line-up, which is being backed very well by a potent bowling attack.

The form and fitness of regular Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews is a cause for concern but his comeback will certainly bosst team's confidence. But, opener Upul Tharanga's two-match suspension and and Chamara Kapugedara knee injury has definitely hurt Sri Lanka's chances.
