That is a good finish by Sri Lanka, conceding just 38 in the last four even though India had wickets in hand. But this is a good score. For these conditions, 160 looks par. India have 13 extra runs to try to make up for the improvement in the pitch under lights and if there is any dew. Madushanka, Theekshana and Karunaratne were superb, but the innings belonged to Rohit. He scored 72 off 41. Others scored 93 off 80. This was a special innings. Has it put matters beyond Sri Lanka? Ashish Pant will tell you after the break

Karunaratne to Ashwin, 2 runs, slower ball now, and he gets the wicket. Oh hang on he doesn't. Hasaranga drops a sitter running in from long-on. It costs them two runs

Karunaratne to Ashwin, SIX, wow Ashwin. Ashsix. He has cleared the biggest boundary of the ground. Karunaratne gets greedy and bowls an on-pace length ball. Ashwin takes on the boundary that Pandya failed to clear. And he has timed this beautifully

Karunaratne to Arshdeep Singh, 1 run, length ball, looking to angle it across him, punched straight to mid-on. Ashwin sets off for one, Arsh responds, but he is gone for all money if the fielder hits. He doesn't
Bhuvneshwar would have perhaps been better off taking a single to give the strike to Ashwin. Arshdeep Singh is in now. If he takes a single, Ashwin gets two balls
