0.4 to RG Sharma, Jeevan Mendis tears back from mid-off and tracks down Rohit's sliced hit. Sensational catch running back and across to his left from mid-off. He gets into an awkward side-on position, but makes the catch look a lot easier. He lands on his back but still hangs onto the ball. Sri Lanka huddle up while Rohit exits. This was fuller and outside off - in Rohit's swinging arc - he aims to hoist it over the man inside the circle but winds up skewing it off the bottom part. Rohit gone for a duck. What a lift for Sri Lanka. 1/1
19.6 to RR Pant, helps this short ball straight down the throat of deep fine leg. The innings ends with a mishit and that shot's really the story of his innings today. Too many swings and mishits.. 174/5
3038112.6644220
1.6 to SK Raina, bowled'im. Raina backs away a long way outside leg and exposes all three stumps. He swishes and misses. Pradeep doesn't miss his target: he hits the middle stump with a full-toss. It looks very ugly when these shots don't come off. Low-percentage shot; maybe Raina should have given himself more time before going after the bowler. 9/2

12.4 to MK Pandey, he's dragged this from way outside off to deep midwicket. No power behind the stroke from Pandey, who looked to go over long-on. The low-arm action meant the ball dipped on him just a touch. Pandey's scratchy innings has come to an end, timed the ball well early on but struggled as the innings progressed.. 104/3

17.6 to S Dhawan, has he mistimed this, yes. Reaches out to this wide delivery and lofts this straight to long-off. The pressure of trying to manufacture strokes has got to Dhawan. Pant had bottled strike and run-flow, so Dhawan had to go for it and he's fallen in the process. Touch lucky with those top-edges but he's played well. 153/4

4.6 to MD Gunathilaka, This looks like another slower cutter from Unadkat. Danushka moves away outside leg stump, he is too early into the loft, ends up chipping a catch to Pant at mid-off. Good contributions from both bat and ball from Danushka. Rohit calls his boys into a huddle. 70/2

1.3 to BKG Mendis, Mendis takes on Sundar again, this time he slices a catch to Dhawan running back from mid-off. He slaps his thigh in celebration like he often does. Credit to Sundar for daring to toss this up outside off. Mendis loses his shape, the bottom hand flies off the bat, as he skies it to Dhawan. 12/1
12.3 to MDKJ Perera, that's the end of that. It's the flight and dip that has done the trick for Kusal. Spun past the outside edge as he stepped out to go over the top and Karthik effects a smart stumping.. 127/4

8.5 to LD Chandimal, Chahal bursts through the defences of Chandimal and provides India with the breakthrough. This was the fast flipper, think it was out of the front of the hand, Chandimal plays across the line, loses his shape, and misses to have his stumps in a mess. 98/3
14.4 to WU Tharanga, right through as he misses the sweep. Chahal loops this in nicely, Tharanga looks to fetch this slog sweep from way outside off but is through with the stroke early and hears the ball rattle the stumps.. 136/5
