8.45pm Virat Kohli is our pick for men's cricketer of the 2010s, but what of the rest of Indian sport? For her ability to deliver a big game on the biggest of stages, PV Sindhu is ESPN India's choice for best Indian athlete of the decade.

8.36pm First thoughts: Sri Lanka are well short of an ideal score. India have discovered a new bow to their string, courtesy their second line of pacers in Shardul Thakur and Navdeep Saini, who may have not got too many opportunities if not for the injuries to Deepak Chahar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Bumrah returned and was sharp, don't go by his bowling figures on the night. They can be misleading at times.

They started well, but fell into a bit of a hole trying to play some big hits against spin. Kuldeep among the wickets should also encourage Kohli & co.

Shardul Thakur who took 3 for 23 is talking to Laxman Sivaramakrishnan: "Pitch is good to bat on, they tried to play a lot of shots but it didn't come off. They swing their bat, if you keep bowling just one length, they will come at you, so varying your length was the key. If I've bowled a few good deliveries, knuckleball is a good variation. That's when I decide whether I do that or bowl a yorker/short ball. This format demands you to bowl one-two over spells, you have to be ready."

Nilay: "If shardul takes wicket next match first ball, will hattrick be counted? I and my father are debating over it, I am saying it wont be counted!!" -- You're right
