2.18pm That was a sensational batting effort from Dhawan, Rohit Dhoni and Jadhav in the end, taking India to 321 for 6, a score that's quite good for The Oval. Rohit and Dhawan started well, kept that momentum going and eventually took India to a strong total but fell away a tad in the middle, with Kohli's rare duck. Sri Lanka found some rhythm but Dhawan and Dhoni wrestled it away again. 103 of the last 10 overs means India finish well above par. A tough job for Sri Lanka, but certainly not out of reach. Join Al Muthu for the chase.

"Great foundation laid by the openers, says Rohit Sharma. "Happy to be contributing, wanted to continue the momentum from the first game. Quite confident the bowlers will finish well. First few overs will be critical, we understood the importance of playing the first six overs well, tight cricket."

Last ball. Square leg is up. Will he look for that option again?

NLTC Perera to Jadhav, SIX, that's six. Makes up this time. Gets right across, it's a predictable line. And then just sweeps it through square leg. No fielder there

NLTC Perera to Dhoni, OUT, taken on the boundary. Full and wide again from Perera, slightly predictable, but it isn't quite in Dhoni's swinging arc. He has to manufacture his own power and does, but doesn't get good timing. Skews off the outside half and lands in long-off's hands. Important runs saved these could be
