SL 73 (22)

Wellalage chips his drive straight into the hands of Surya at point. 

Wellalage c Suryakumar Yadav b Shami 3(13)

Is Gautam Gambhir's prediciton of India winning by 300 runs coming true? This is surely not what Sri Lanka were expecting.

The ball spins back sharply to go through the bat pad gap and crash into middle stump. 

Shanaka b Kuldeep Yadav 11(26) [4s-2]

Sri Lanka is surely finding innovative ways of getting out. Karunaratne defends the ball by Siraj, but it goes back to the bowler and holds his pose. 

While the batter was in awe of how nicely he had defended that delivery, Siraj picked up the ball and threw it back at the stumps and he Karunaratne was caught off guard. 

The Lankan was shocked to see that both his legs were out of the crease and he walks back. 

Karunaratne run out (Siraj) 1(6)

After three out swingers, Siraj surprises the batter with the off-cutter and Hasaranga is late on getting his bat down. With no covering for the off stump, that ball goes and hits it with ease. 

It is wicket number four for Siraj. 

Hasaranga b Siraj 1(7)

Third wicket for Siraj and the impressive Nuwanidu Fernando has to walk back. 

The ball hit the edge of the bat and then landed on the stumps. 

Fernando b Siraj 19(27) [4s-4]

This was short and wide and Asalanka punched at it very half heartedly. But Axar, who was right at the spot takes an easy catch at backward point. 

Asalanka c Axar b Shami 1(4)

2nd wicket for Siraj and this time it is Kusal Mendis who goes for 4. This was a length ball outside off and Mendis flirted with it and got the edge through to the keeper. 

Kusal Mendis c Rahul b Siraj 4(7) [4s-1]

Siraj's fine form in the powerplay continues. Rohit Sharma's brilliant captaincy is seen as he placed the slip fielder very wide, almost like a gully. Fernando edges it straight to that man. 

Avishka Fernando c Shubman Gill b Siraj 1(4)

Kohli has gone on to score 166 runs - his 10th 100 against Sri Lanka.

Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli stitched together a 131-run partnership as Sri Lanka saw the batters score for fun for almost the next 20 overs.

The former Indian skipper remained unbeaten asnd did the bulk of the scoring at the end.

Suryakumar goes for the inside out shot, but the ball goes straight to the man at deep extra cover. 

Suryakumar Yadav c Avishka Fernando b Rajitha 4(4)

That dropped catch in the previous ball does not cost much. Rahul slashed the ball, but picks out the only fielder in the deep. 

Rahul c (sub)Wellalage b Kumara 7(6) [4s-1]

This was just outside off and Iyer tried the inside out shot and wanted to get it over covers. However the bat turns in his hands and he lobs the ball into the hands of the fielder. 

Shreyas Iyer c (sub)Dhananjaya b Kumara 38(32) [4s-2 6s-1]

100 for Kohli, his 46th for him in ODIs. 

It was a subdued celebrations from him, especially after minutes back, two players were taken away due to injury. 

Matter of worry on the crease as both deep square leg and deep mid-wicket are lying on the ground after colliding with each other. 

Vandersay and Ashen Bandara both go to stop the ball, with one sliding and the other falls over him. 

The Sri Lankan physio is on to the field and even stretchers have come out. The Indian physio is also out. Not a good sign.

Sri Lanka were in need of a wicket and Rajitha gets one on a good length. Shubman Gill's fine knock ends and Kohli taps Gill on the head to acknowledge the innings. 

Shubman Gill b Rajitha 116(97) [4s-14 6s-2]

Double celebration for India as they not only reach the 200-run mark but also see batters Virat Kohli smash his 50 and Shubman Gill slam his 100.

With a run, Shubman Gill scores his 6th ODI 50.

The partnership is broken and Rohit appeared upset about discarding it. The captain displays his disappointment by leaning on his bat after the catch is made.

Rohit c Avishka Fernando b Karunaratne 42(49) [4s-2 6s-3]

India had a slow start, but in Lahiru Kumara's over - the 5th over, the two batters scored 23 runs which changed the game.

After 7 overs, India IND 45/0 

Rohit Sharma 11 off 18

Shubman Gill 30 off 24

India win the toss and opt to bat. Make 2 changes - Hardik and Umran are rested, Washington and Suryakumar are in.

For Sri Lanka, they too make two changes - Ashen Bandara is in for DDS, and Jeffrey Vandersay in for Dunith Wellalage.
