- 21:20 (IST)IND vs SL: Drama! Drama! Drama!Mohammed Shami appealed for a run out against Dasun Shanaka at the non-striker's end as the batter left his crease before Shami could have bowled the fourth delivery of the over.

Umpire sent it upstairs, but India captain Rohit Sharma decided to take the appeal back.SL 291/8 (49.3)
- 21:05 (IST)IND vs SL: Dasun Shanaka continues to fight!Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka is not giving up. He is hurting the Indian pacers with some constant attack.

- 20:50 (IST)IND vs SL: Fifty for Dasun Shanaka!Dasun Shanaka races to his half-century in 50 balls. This is a good fighting knock for Shanaka but it seems that this won't be enough to help Sri Lanka fight back in the game.SL 242/8 (42.1)
- 20:44 (IST)IND vs SL: FOUR!Dasun Shanaka gets a short ball outside off stump and slams it for a four. It was a poor ball from Axar Patel and Shanaka gave it the right treatment.

- 20:32 (IST)IND vs SL: WICKET!Hardik Pandya gets the wicket of Chamika Karunaratne and Sri Lanka are eight down now. They need 168 more and this game seems over for them now. India are closing in on a big win here in Guwahati. It's just a matter of time now.SL 206/8 (37.5)

- 19:58 (IST)IND vs SL: WICKET!Another one bites the dust! The increasing required run rate is getting better of the Sri Lankan batters here in Guwahati. Wanindu Hasaranga is the latest victim.

- 19:54 (IST)IND vs SL: WICKET!Pathum Nissanka has been dismissed by Umran Malik at the batter's individual score of 72.

- 19:03 (IST)IND vs SL: Economical overOnly one run came off Yuzvendra Chahal's third over. Patham Nissanka hit a single on the first ball before Chahal bowled five dot balls to Dhananjaya de Silva. The required run rate for Sri Lanka is over 9 now.SL 75/3 (17)
- 18:50 (IST)IND vs SL: WICKET!Umran Malik gets the wicket of Charith Asalanka. It was bowled down leg side and Asalanka should have punished it for a four but he rather lost his wicket on it. He edged the ball and KL Rahul took a really good catch diving down the leg side.SL 64/3 (14)

- 18:10 (IST)IND vs SL: Siraj strikes again!This is superb bowling from Mohammed Siraj. He has bowled out Kusal Mendis for a four-ball duck and Sri Lanka are in hot water now. It was a fuller ball from Siraj that swung into Mendis, who had no answer for it.SL 23/2 (5.3)
- 18:07 (IST)IND vs SL: WICKET!Avishka Fernando has been dismissed by Mohammed Siraj. It was pitched up and got a hint of outside swing.

- 17:56 (IST)IND vs SL: Fourth FOUR of Sri Lankan innings!A poor ball down the leg side from Mohammed Shami and Pathum Nissanka flicked it for a four towards the fine leg fence. This is the fourth four for the side in only 14 balls. It's a good start for Sri Lanka!SL 17/0 (2.2)

- 17:07 (IST)IND vs SL: Virat Kohli is out!A slower ball from Kasun Rajitha eventually outfoxes Virat Kohli. The India batter wanted to hit the ball on leg side but failed to hit it from the middle.

- 17:00 (IST)IND vs SL: FOUR!A four from Virat Kohli to long-on. He came down the track and still adjusted to hit the short ball towards long-on where Sri Lanka fielder's poor show saw the ball slip from hands and run for a four. The Sri Lanka players are in complete disarray.IND 361/5 (47.2)
- 16:53 (IST)IND vs SL: Virat Kohli hits century!Ladies and gentlemen, there is the international century number 73 for Virat Kohli. And in ODIs, it is the 45th hundred for the player. He is only four short of Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 in the format. Kohli has been lucky twice today, but he grabbed those opportunities with both his hands. Meanwhile, he looked extremely settled today.IND 347/5 (46.2)
- 16:39 (IST)IND vs SL: Back-to-back FOURS!A back-of-the-hand slower ball from Chamika Karunaratne and Virat Kohli spotted it early. He flicked it wide of long-on for a four, while the second one was hit by him on the off side. He is now on 89 off 72 balls.IND 326/4 (43.4)
- 16:36 (IST)IND vs SL: Kohli dropped again!This is a crime from Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka. He has dropped Virat Kohli at cover. It was a regular catch but Shanaka failed to hold on to it. Kohli gets a breather on 81.IND 317/4 (43)
- 16:29 (IST)IND vs SL: SIX!Flighted delivery from Wanindu Hasaranga from outside off stump and Hardik Pandya, who is new at the crease, didn't spare it. He slammed it with power and the ball comfortably flew over the long-off for a six.IND 310/4 (41.4)
- 16:26 (IST)IND vs SL: WICKET!KL Rahul is out for 39 off 29 balls. It was a slower ball from Kasun Rajitha. Rahul spotted it well and wanted to work it down the leg side, he even got some bat on it but the lack of pace eventually got better of him as the ball hit his stumps.IND 303/4 (40.5)
- 16:24 (IST)IND vs SL: FOUR!How good a shot this is from KL Rahul! It was not a fuller ball but Rahul beautifully got underneath the it and played it on the rise for a four over extra cover.IND 303/3 (40.4)
- 16:22 (IST)IND vs SL: India in the driver's seat!More 10 overs are remaining in this game and India are well in course of a big total. They should look to add at least 80 more runs from here as both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are looking in sensational touch.IND 294/3 (40)
- 16:11 (IST)IND vs SL: Back-to-back FOURS!While the dropped catch by Kusal Mendis did hurt Sri Lanka, Virat Kohli is now hurting them even more. He has hit two back-to-back fours to Kasun Rajitha, who could have had his wicket on the first ball of this over itself. Nonetheless, both the fours had the mark of Kohli's class.IND 268/3 (36.5)
- 16:08 (IST)IND vs SL: Kohli dropped!Kusal Mendis has dropped the catch of Virat Kohli behind the stumps! How costly is this going to be for Sri Lanka?

- 16:06 (IST)IND vs SL: SIX! Fifty for Virat KohliThere is the fifty for Virat Kohli. He comes down the track and hits the ball over long-on for a six to race to his half-century in 47 balls. This is just another fine knock from the India star. He started with some quick runs and then slowed down after the wickets fell.IND 249/3 (35.2)
- 16:03 (IST)IND vs SL: FOUR!A full toss ball from Dunith Wellalage outside off stump to KL Rahul and the India batter comfortably slices it for a four. This is poor bowling as Sri Lanka were well in control, but this boundary will release the pressure.IND 243/3 (35)
- 15:54 (IST)IND vs SL: Mini comeback for Sri Lanka!Sri Lanka bowlers have managed to pull things back in control after the wicket of Shreyas Iyer. Until then, India were going all guns blazing despite losing the wickets of Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. Call this a mini comeback for Sri Lanka, but India are still enroute for a big total.IND 224/3 (32)
- 15:39 (IST)IND vs SL: WICKET!Shreyas Iyer is gone! This is a big wicket for Dhananjaya de Silva as Iyer was turning out to be dangerous after shifting his gears. He wanted to go for a big one but hit the ball straight into the hands of Avishka Fernando at deep backward square leg. Iyer departs for 28 off 24 balls.IND 213/3 (29.1)
- 15:38 (IST)IND vs SL: SIX!Oh! That's an authoritartive shot from Shreyas Iyer on the ball of Wanindu Hasaranga. He danced down the track and slammed the half-volley over long-on for a six. It got a lot of height but also covered enough ground to go outside the boundary rope.IND 210/2 (28.2)
