The 1992 vs 2019 comparisons are over for Pakistan, but one connection to the '92 World Cup still remains, as England have made the semis for the first time in 27 years. Do you remember what the sporting world was like back then? Here's a quiz to test your knowledge.

WATCH on Hotstar (India only): How the Sri Lanka wickets fell

WATCH - Pandya takes wonderful diving catch to dismiss Thisara (Australia, UK and SEA only)

Shanu: "So what has bhuvi done better than Shami? Shami at least gets a couple of wickets at the end. Come up with your new findings plz." -- Okay, I haven't had the time while doing commentary to fully explain why I think Bhuvi gets in ahead of Shami. They're both top-notch bowlers, so I'm not saying it's not a difficult choice. Shami is the bigger wicket threat, especially in the middle overs, and that can be valuable. There isn't too much to choose between them with the new ball (Bhuvi had an off-day today), and Bhuvneshwar is better at the death. But add to that Bhuvneshwar's handy batting, and I think he edges this contest, given the way the team is otherwise stacked up. In any case, there's a real chance all three quicks could play in the semi-finals.

Abhishek JA: "Dhoni has got 4 dismissals only in 2 instances - today and in the 2015 World Cup QF against Bang. Both matches were just before a WC semi final. We all know what happened in the 2015 semi finals. Ominous signs for India!"

Sachin: "SriLanka and 264. You know what I mean?" -- Not sure. Let me ask Rohit Sharma.

Angelo Mathews: "Yeah good memories [of Headingley, where he has played some great knocks including his match-winning Test hundred in 2014]. It has been good for me, I'm enjoying it. Wicket is playing a bit slow, it's a bit tacky and it's turning too. Hard to play when you bowl cutters and hit the wicket hard. I tried to take it deep, till the 40th over or so, and launch from there. If we can get Rohit and Kohli early, we can put pressure on the middle order. We'll need to bowl well, though. I can bowl, if need be. Haven't been bowling at the nets, but glad to have contributed, and if need be I can bowl."

2.12pm An engrossing ODI innings, full of shifts in momentum. Sri Lanka were in trouble at 55 for 4, but a superlative hundred from Angelo Mathews has given them a pretty decent total to defend. India's bowlers were mostly excellent, and while Bhuvneshwar Kumar began poorly today, he's finished pretty well at the death, conceding only 21 in his last three overs. Superb spell from Bumrah to finish with 3 for 37, and Ravindra Jadeja was frugal in his first match of the tournament, taking 1 for 40.

Kumar to de Silva, 2 runs, looks to make himself room and Bhuvneshwar follows him with a yorker at his feet. Brings down a straight bat to chip it over the bowler, and pick up two to the right of long-on

Kumar to Udana, 1 run, slower one, back of a length, swatted down to long-on

Kumar to de Silva, no run, slower short ball, angling into the stumps and bouncing loopily over them after passing the batsman at waist height. He was trying to make room and reverse-scoop it past short third man

Kumar to NLTC Perera, OUT, slower ball, fullish, slanting into a wide-ish line outside off. Looks to hit over long-off, but doesn't time it at all, and Pandya takes a stunner to send him back, running in off the long-off boundary, getting up towards the 30-yard circle, and dives forward to take it with two hands. Shades of Ajay Jadeja catching Allan Border in the 1992 World Cup

Kumar to de Silva, no run, Not if he keeps bowling like this. Inch-perfect leg-stump yorker, and he gets his feet out of the way to try and squeeze it to point, but can only play it back towards the bowler in his follow-through

Bhuvneshwar to finish. Can Sri Lanka get up to 270?
