8:29pm Almost another two-hour innings. Abhishek started off like he has often done at this Asia Cup, and he put the SL bowlers to the sword. He rattled along to 61 off 31, and while he was at the crease, it felt India would coast past 200. His dismissal, though, brought about a slight slow-down, until Samson and Tilak began clicking into gear. The former found more rhythm than the latter, but Tilak did end up with an unbeaten 49, with Axar also popping up with a handy cameo towards the end.
It was another disappointing outing with the bat for India's skipper, though. He struggled for timing and looked scratchier than usual. Hardik also could not get going. Most of Sri Lanka's bowlers also endured a tough evening, and that means they now have to chase down a score in excess of 200. Join us in a bit for the chase!
A boundary will take India to 200
