We are back for the chase. India make their way out in the middle.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then, India would certainly be the happier side at the halfway mark and they look set to clinch the series 3-0. On the other hand, Sri Lanka have their backs against the wall and they will need to bat out of their skins if they are to avoid a whitewash. Will the Lankan batters stand up to the challenge? We will find out shortly. Back in a bit for the chase...

Despite starting well with the ball in the first four overs, Sri Lanka lost the plot when Lahiru Kumara was smashed all around the park in the 6th over. The visitors kept bowling loose deliveries and that allowed the hosts to score freely throughout the innings. Even the spinners failed to keep the runs in check and it was a disappointing bowling display by the visitors. Ashen Bandara and Jeffrey Vandersay collided with each other near the ropes to make matters worse for the visitors. Wanindu Hasaranga was their most economical bowler on the day but he went wicketless. Kasun Rajitha and Lahiru Kumara accounted for two wickets each while Chamika Karunaratne took one wicket.

India finish on a high and end up with a mammoth total on the board. Having chosen to bat first, India were off to a sedate start courtesy of their openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. However, once the duo got to terms with the pace and bounce of the wicket, India started to motor along. The hosts never looked back and continued to play their shots for the rest of the innings. Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli notched up their respective hundreds with the latter staying unbeaten on 166 runs to get India to the 390-run mark.
