6.15 pm Jasprit Bumrah has claimed nine wickets in 20 overs in two days. And by claiming his maiden five-for today, he also becomes the first Indian fast bowler in three years to get as much in an innings

Sri Lanka have often begun well in this series, but they weren't able to do that today on a pitch which offered enough sideways movement to Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. They tried to bide their time to see if a weak link in the Indian attack would come up - Lahiru Thirimanne (80) and Dinesh Chandimal (36) leading the way - but only one of them could make a halfway decent score. Sri Lanka were trundling at under four runs an over until 40 overs, and then on comes Bumrah to wrap things up again

Bumrah to Malinga, 4 byes, another slower ball, outside off, Malinga wafts at it, is comfortably beaten. But on its way through the keeper, it does a little mischief. Sticks in the turf and rears up at Dhoni's head. Has little chance of stopping it

Bumrah to close out. He's got his mentor Lasith Malinga in his sights. Or maybe just his stumps.
