END OF OVER:
20 | 6 Runs | IND: 81/8 | RR: 4.05

  • Kuldeep Yadav23 (28b)
  • Chetan Sakariya5 (9b)
  • Dushmantha Chameera4-0-16-1
  • Dasun Shanaka4-0-20-2

9.30pm So India end with 81 for 8. Only a miracle can save them now. After opting to bat, Dhawan fell in the opening over itself, for a first-ball duck. Wickets kept falling at regular intervals after that and at one stage India were 36 fo 5. Bhuvneshwar's 16 and Kuldeep's 23* ensured they crossed their lowest total (74 vs Aus, 2008) in the format. Apart from those two, only Ruturaj Gaikwad (14) crossed double digits. Wanindu Hasaranga was the wrecker-in-chief, picking up 4 for 9 from his four overs on his 24th birthday, while Shanaka picked up 2 for 20 from his quota. Karthik will start with the chase in a bit as I grab something to eat.

PW Hasaranga to Varun, OUT, another brilliant catch and Hasaranga has his fourth. The umpires though want to confirm if the catch was clean. Fuller around off, Varun flicked it uppishly towards short midwicket, at head height to Karunaratne's left who caught it but there was wobble after that it and the ball almost came out of his hands but he clung it to his chest as he fell. That's out
