7.13pm Welcome back. We're ready to go. Rahane and Sharma the openers. Sharma on strike. Malinga to start off. Two slips in place.

Elsewhere, there's been some cheer in India's sporting sphere. As Rajyavardhan Rathore, India's first individual silver medallist at the Olympics, is appointed the country's fourth Sports Minister in three years, here's why Sharda Ugra says it's "about bloody time."

6.40pm Who would've thought Sri Lanka would huff and puff to 238 all out when 280 looked a given? Well, most people. Another familiar collapse, the quantum this time is 7 for 53. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who hadn't picked up a wicket in the series so far, prompting the team management to leave him out, returned to pick up a five-for. He used this slower variations, particularly the knuckleball, superbly. Jasprit Bumrah too was excellent. The awkward angles and deliveries that held their line causing much trouble to the batsmen. Everything said and done, Sri Lanka can have no excuses for another lower order meltdown, especially after that record fourth-wicket stand of 122 (the highest for Sri Lanka against India). This is a chase right down Rahane's school of batting. This isn't to say he can't be used as an opener for tall chases, I must say, before you all hit back at me. Anyway, time for an early dinner. Varun Shetty will be with you for the start of India's chase.
