3.20pm Meanwhile, with four Superseries titles under his belt this year, Kidambi Srikanth can become only the second Indian after Saina Nehwal to reach the final of the Dubai World Superseries Finals, starting today. Read more on ESPN.in.

Himanshu Pathak: "Just when we thought that Sri Lankan bowling is dangerous (last match), one of their bowlers conceded highest number of runs ever in his 10 overs!"

3.10pm Phew, what an outrageous innings from Rohit Sharma. His first hundred came off 115 balls, his second off just 36 balls. Shreyas Iyer also thrilled with his strokeplay and ability to manipulate the field during his first international fifty. The platform had been set by Dhawan's breezy fifty. With the momentum just switching seamlessly from one batsman to another, Sri Lanka's bowlers simply wilted. Karthik will be back in a bit for the start of the chase.

Aravind: "Given the carnage, why didn't Mathews bowl beyond his opening spell of 4 overs??? Couldn't have done worse than the rest of the bowlers getting carted all around the park. Fitness issues?"

arun: "147 of last 10 overs... 5 players outside ring rule is also not working in favour of bowlers.."

3pm Shreyas Iyer: I think I was just a spectator at the non-striker's end. He got his hundred off 112 balls and it was just the Rohit Sharma show. Yesterday, I batted in the nets and I took the same confidence onto the field. I believe in myself and my instincts. It it a little bit cold but it still a nice wicket. We have an amazing total on the board. Me and Rohit just decided to take it on till the 40th over: that was the plan. If anyone of us stays, it will be great for the other batsmen. There was a patch where I just saw Rohit Sharma and I was stunned.

Perera to Pandya, OUT, pretty full and outside off, Pandya, of course, has a biiiiig swing at it, but can't quite get under it. He can only drag it down to long-on

Perera to Sharma, 2 runs, Whoa Rohit brings up his third double-hundred in ODIs! Take a bow, Rohit. Another outrageous innings. Back of a length on middle, Rohit jabs it away through midwicket. He celebrates the landmark with a Warner-esque leap (sort of). He then has his hands aloft and soaks in the applause. #Scenes in Mohali

Pradeep to Pandya, 2 runs, Pandya ventures a fair way across off stump and nearly falls over. This is a yorker - or a near yorker - on off stump, Pandya looks for a scoop, but ends up toe-ending it square on the leg side. They hare back for the second and Rohit is back on strike
