6.1 strikes first ball with a ripping googly. Jaiswal is completely foxed as he plays down the wrong line while lunging forward, the back foot was in the air and dragged out of the crease as he got beaten, keeper effects the simplest of stumpings. It's a double-strike for Sri Lanka. 74/2

5.6 relief for Sri Lanka! The slower ball fells Gill, but not before he's played a stunning cameo. Decides to go down town but ends up getting more elevation than distance as it finds the toe end of the bat, that he didn't have pace on the ball made it tougher for Gill. The mid-on fielder did well to get to the ball, but hesitated the moment he saw mid-off in his eyeline, but quickly recovered and went for the catch. 74/1

13.2 Pathirana strikes back to pin Surya lbw! The finger goes up. SKY has asked for a review. Pathirana cranks it up to 149ks and gets this near yorker to sling into the front pad in line with middle. No bat here. Ball-tracking suggests it would have crashed into the stumps. SKY has to go. Big scalp for Pathirana and SL 150/3

18.5 Pathirana hits the top of off stump. Seems like another slower delivery, on a length and trims the off bail. Pant swings so hard and so early, losing his shape in the process. He falls for 49 off 33 balls. Wicket no.4 for Pathirana this evening 201/6

16.3 Pathirana knocks over Hardik! Another yorker from the slinger. Hardik, having stepped away outside leg, can only divert it back onto his own stumps via his pads. Ripping inswinging yorker from Pathirana and Pallekele loves it 176/4

18.1 inswinging yorker, crashes into the pads of Parag. He has to depart. The finger goes up. Another inch-perfect yorker, zipping in to smack the back pad in line with middle. That looks plumb. Parag chats with Pant and rightly decides against a review 192/5

19.4 Asitha has Rinku chopping on! Another slower ball, wide of off, Asitha hides it away from the swinging arc of Rinku. He has a big hoick at it and ends up directing the ball back onto his own stumps via an inside edge 206/7

14.1 fizzing arm ball from Axar. Keeps veering in from wide of the crease and cramps Nissanka for room. He chops hastily and watches the ball cannon into leg stump. End of a fine innings from Nissanka, though. Finally some respite for India 140/2

8.4 the move to bring Arshdeep has paid dividends. Kusal has to force the pace on this pull because Arshdeep takes pace off with a knuckleball into the wicket, he ended up dragging it to Jaiswal at the deep midwicket fence. What a turbocharge for Sri Lanka nonetheless. 84/1

14.6 Holes out to deep square this time. Bishnoi holds onto this catch in the outfield. Axar slows this up on off stump and finds a bit of extra bounce to mess with KJP's sweep. He can only splice it to Bishnoi. Both set batters gone in the same over 149/3

16.4 Parag castles Mendis and lets out a big roar! Shortish and angling into middle from around the wicket, then turns away from Mendis. He slashes and misses. Parag hits the top of off stump for his first international wicket 161/6

15.6 Bishnoi has Asalanka caught at deep square leg. Pushed through flat and quick on off, think this was the wrong'un too. Asalanka shapes for a slog-sweep and top-edges it to Jaiswal. The SL captain is gone for a duck 158/4

16.1 pushed through on middle, Mendis tickles a reverse-sweep past Pant. Siraj chases hard, slides, and swiftly throws it to Pant who gathers the ball and takes the bails off. Shanka dishes out a full-length dive, but is still caught short. Terrific work from Siraj. Shanka has been caught short on the third. He has been run-out without facing a delivery 160/5

17.1 just short of a good length and slanting away outside off. Hasaranga has to fetch it from a wide line. He can only drag it to Parag moving to his right from mid-on 163/7

19.1 Parag helps himself to another wicket. Theekshana backs a long way outside leg. Parag follows him with a yorker. Theekshana jams his bat down and edges it back onto his own stumps. India are closing in on a 1-0 lead 170/9

18.5 on a length and slanting into off stump, looped into the lap of mid-on. Pathirana doesn't have enough power or elevation to clear Axar 170/8

19.2 Parag closes it out with a double-strike. He pumps his fist and celebrates. Back-of-the-hand variation from Parag. Seems like the wrong'un. Madushanka swings for the hills and misses. Parag hits leg stump and finishes with 3 for 5. Positive signs for India. SL have lost 9 for 30. Wouldja believe it? 170/10
