3:30 pm: Sri Lanka got a record 87-run partnership at the top, Vishmi was a good find as she gave Athapaththu a foil by going big up top. They took on the bowlers, who weren't finding much assistance. But after the first two wickets fell, the flurry continued. Harmanpreet, who bowled the over after Athapaththu's wicket, started to choke the runs and Sri Lankan batters tried to go big couldn't. But with 125, they have runs on the board. Will that be enough, find out with Vishal Dikshit who will come in to start calling the chase.

Yadav to Sanjeewani, 1 run, Down the track on leg, whacked with a horizontal bat around head-height to the right of the bowler. She went for the catch but the ball burst through her hand.

Minidu Ranahans: "Sri Lanka need to be conscious in these times. Otherwise all the good work done by the top order will be lost in vain"

Siddharth Sahu: "17.6 That was clearly missing leg, wasn't it?" I thought so and Daya from Hindi comms did too.

Yadav to Ranasinghe, OUT, Goes for the reverse yet again, the bat face turned and it looked to have taken the glove and popped up to the keeper.

Sri Lanka are losing wickets in the pursuit of runs which is reasonable but they haven't been able to score freely.

Kaur to Gunaratne, OUT, Slapped straight back to the bowler, who whacks the ball into the turf in frustration. It came off a short, wide, and slow ball that was hit with limited power which indicated Vishmi may have tired down. Nonetheless, an excellent knock by the 16-year-old.

Kaur to Madavi, 4 byes, Slower one on a length keeps lpw, beats the premeditated reverse pull by darting down. It was down leg so the keeper could not react in time. It went low and fine to race to the fence.
