- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR26.3 Washington spins around for a big lbw appeal. Umpire Wilson raises his finger, but hold on height could be an issue here. Nissanka has called for a review. On a length and turns in sharply to beat the inside edge and strike the front pad above the knee-roll. No bat/glove involved. It would've clipped leg stump, so enough for umpire's call to be upheld. Washington traps the well-set Nissanka 101/52.3 skewed into the hands of deep third. Arshdeep holds onto the chance. Full and nips away outside off, Avesh looks to swat it over midwicket, but loses his shape and ends up offering a leading edge, which flies to Arshdeep at deep third 7/113.1 Huge appeal for lbw, given! Dube strikes, after turning Mendis inside out. He had a word with Nissanka and signals to the umpire that wants to have a re-look. Runs in and bowls it on a length around off and middle. Mendis almost falls over while looking to defend it in front of him. His bat comes down at an angle, which makes it miss the outside edge. He gets hit on the back leg and the Hawk-Eye returns three reds. Maiden ODI wicket for Dube, in his first game in the format since 2019 46/218.3 Catching practice to short cover. This was always coming. Samarawickrama was struggling to pick the flight of the spinners. He comes forward to drive it but this is not a surface to do that. Axar lands it on a length, and that means Samarawickrama is a tad early into the shot. Chips it uppishly to Gill and Sri Lanka lose another 60/323.5 stock ball from Kuldeep, this time to the left-handed Asalanka. He has offered catching practice to first slip. Dangled up outside off and breaks away from the SL captain. He tries to pick it off the pitch and simply guides it into the hands of his opposite number Rohit. SL continue to wobble around steady Nissanka 91/434.2 Axar and Rohit think they have their man. Liyanage is walking. Umpire Wilson waits, waits, and then raises his finger. Angling in and turning away outside off, Liyanage steps out but does not meet the pitch. He has a big hoick at it and edges it behind to Rohit 142/642.6 Straight to backward point. Hasaranga cannot believe what he has done. Shortish and angling away outside off, he transfers his weight back and slashes it hard straight to Axar. That had a lot of power and has stung Axar. Hasaranga drags himself off 178/749.3 End of the rearguard from Sri Lanka. Arshdeep bowls the slower bumper at 115kph, Dananjaya looks to ramp it over, with short third in place. Ends up skying it to Washington at backward point 224/8Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL230/8 (50 Overs, RR: 4.6)Did not bat: AM FernandoFall of wickets: 1-7 (Avishka Fernando, 2.3 ov), 2-46 (Kusal Mendis, 13.1 ov), 3-60 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 18.3 ov), 4-91 (Charith Asalanka, 23.5 ov), 5-101 (Pathum Nissanka, 26.3 ov), 6-142 (Janith Liyanage, 34.2 ov), 7-178 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 42.6 ov), 8-224 (Akila Dananjaya, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.2 Rohit misses the slog, trapped in front. He trudges slowly to his partner, who is not convinced about a review. Another tossed up full ball on middle from Wellalage, Rohit gets down on a knee to deposit it over the vacant midwicket. Misses it completely to get hit in his back thigh that is adjacent to the stumps. Sri Lanka smell something here... 80/212.4 Wella with the bat, Wella with the ball! Sri Lanka break through. Gill was struggling to find fluency against spin. He sees midwicket open, and then spots a flighted ball just outside off. Goes for the slog across the line but skies it high. Mendis, with gloves on, runs towards cover where Hasaranga has come forward. The calling is not too clear and Mendis takes it with his hands high, just over Hasaranga's face. Wellalage strikes, can Sri Lanka capitalise now? 75/123.1 skidder from Hasaranga, the umpire raises his finger. Oh boy, Hasaranga is overjoyed. Flat and quick, skids in to strike the pad as Kohli plays back to this length ball. Kohli has reviewed this. Kohli is walking even before the ball-tracking builds up. No bat involved. It would have crashed into middle. Jayasuriya is up on his feet, applauding Hasaranga and SL 130/415.4 Hit on the back pad, given lbw! Washington and Kohli chat and he opts for the review. Quicker and fuller around middle, it is the offspinner. Goes straight on with the arm, Washington lunges to defend but it beats him on the inside to hit him on the back leg. Clipping the wicket and Washy has to walk back. Huge cheers in Colombo and Sri Lanka slowly moving in the ascendancy 87/324.2 Asitha storms through the defences of Iyer! What a ball. Hits the off bail. Jayasuriya loves it. Colombo loves it. Hard-length delivery, ducks back in, catches Iyer in the crease and bowls him through the gate. Can SL pull this off? 132/539.4 Hasaranga gets his man! The stubborn stand between Rahul and Axar is broken. A third India batter falls trying to hit spin across the line. Hasaranga generously tosses it up, full on middle, Rahul gets down on a knee to sweep it through midwicket again but skies it high. Wellalage barely had to move there and takes it comfortably 189/640.5 Asalanka is off, he has a massive wicket. Gets Axar nicking behind. What a timely strike. Tosses it up again, and lands it on a harmless line - well outside off - on a length. It spins away yet again. Axar feels for it and feather an edge. Do Sri Lanka have a massive opening here? 197/747.4 LBW? The umpire stays unmoved. India cross over for a run. Darts it in on a length on middle and leg, Dube looks to defend but gets beaten on the inside and is hit on the front pad. Almost all three stumps visible, and it rolls away past the off stump. Three reds on Ball-Tracking and Sri Lanka are ecstatic! What a review, Colombo spectators getting their money's worth 230/944.3 Bowled him! Kuldeep is bamboozled here. Tossed up from around the wicket, lands it on off. It is the googly, but Kuldeep thought it is the other one. Closes the face of the bat to play it through the on side and the ball spins away past the outside edge and kisses the off pole 211/847.5 Arshdeep swings across the line and falls! Asalanka darts it in on the stumps, he goes across the line for the slog and is hit flush on the back leg. The umpire raising the finger was a mere formality as Colombo roars. Sri Lanka have managed to tie the game 230/10Extras8 (lb 4, w 4)TOTAL230 all out (47.5 Overs, RR: 4.8)Fall of wickets: 1-75 (Shubman Gill, 12.4 ov), 2-80 (Rohit Sharma, 14.2 ov), 3-87 (Washington Sundar, 15.4 ov), 4-130 (Virat Kohli, 23.1 ov), 5-132 (Shreyas Iyer, 24.2 ov), 6-189 (KL Rahul, 39.4 ov), 7-197 (Axar Patel, 40.5 ov), 8-211 (Kuldeep Yadav, 44.3 ov), 9-230 (Shivam Dube, 47.4 ov), 10-230 (Arshdeep Singh, 47.5 ov)
