6.15pm No half-centuries for Sri Lanka, but cameos across the board have helped them get to 240. Dunith Wellalage was impressive again, while Kamindu Mendis also played a good hand. Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis gave Sri Lanka a platform after Siraj removed Nissanka with a first-baller. Then Asalanka hung about before Wellalage and Kamindu put on the repairs with a 72-run stand. For India, it was Washington Sundar who starred with the ball, picking three, while Kuldeep and Axar shared three wickets between them. How will India fare in the chase? Join Karthik shortly for the start of the second dig.
tinnderbox: "Is that over 50 count correct?1,1,4,1 wide, 1 run out, 1 run out.I make that 9 plus two wickets, not 8." The wide was overturned, so that was a dot.
Washington Sundar: "Coming to Sri Lanka, there's always bounce. And last game and today there was purchase off the wicket. Little slower today. I think we've done a decent job to restrict them. I think it's similar in terms of deviation but it's little slower than the last game. 240 is something we did really well to restrict them to. From the situation they were in, maybe we should have given 20 runs lesser. Looking forward I can contribute to the team [with the bat]"
A Dananjaya run out 15 (19m 13b 2x4 0x6) SR: 115.38
Jeffrey Vandersay to face the final delivery. Arshdeep around the wicket to the right-hander
PHKD Mendis run out 40 (63m 44b 4x4 0x6) SR: 90.90
Sri Lanka have gone past their total from the last game. How much more can they get? Arshdeep, India's most expensive bowler, will close it out
