49.1
Kasun Rajitha to Deepak Chahar, FOUR! Chahar finishes it in style! A fitting end to this game. A slower short ball on middle, it sits up to be hit and Chahar was ready for it. He smacks it over the mid-wicket fielder for a boundary. INDIA WIN BY 3 WICKETS!

48.6
Dushmantha Chameera to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, FOUR! Kumar gets it away for a boundary and that is probably the stroke that wins India not only the game but the series too. Again, not a good ball with point and third man in the ring. Full and outside off, Kumar carves it over the point fielder for a boundary. 12 from the over and India are on the cusp of victory.

48.2
Dushmantha Chameera to Deepak Chahar, FOUR! Another edgy boundary! Not sure why the third man is up with so many runs going down that region! It is short and outside off, Chahar slashes at it and it goes off the outside edge past the short third man fielder for a boundary.
4
46.3
Dushmantha Chameera to Deepak Chahar, FOUR! Handy runs for India! A short delivery, around leg, Chahar tries to pull but it takes his gloves and speeds away to the fine leg fence. This match is slipping away from Sri Lanka. 20 needed off 21 balls.

46.1
Dushmantha Chameera to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, EDGED AND FOUR! That possibly brushed the fingertips of the keeper! What a start to the over. This is on a length and outside off, Kumar opens the face of the bat, he looks to play it down to third man but it goes off the outside edge and finds the third man fence.

43.3
Kasun Rajitha to Deepak Chahar, FOUR! 36 needed off 39 balls now. The pressure is getting transferred back on Sri Lanka. An overpitched delivery outside off, Chahar slices it over backward point for a boundary.

43.2
Kasun Rajitha to Deepak Chahar, FOUR! Chahar is doing it for India! Fuller in length and in the line of the stumps, Chahar hops back to make room and bludgeons it past the bowler for a boundary down the ground. Chahar moves to 44! 40 needed off 40 balls.
6
42.2
Lakshan Sandakan to Deepak Chahar, SIX! That's a big powerful blow from Deepak Chahar. Too full in length and outside off, Chahar finds it in his range and dispatches it over long off for a biggie. 50 needed off 46 balls.
4
40.5
Lakshan Sandakan to Deepak Chahar, FOUR! A much-needed boundary for India. Tossed up ball, landing outside leg and spinning away, Chahar sits down and sweeps it fine to fine leg for a boundary. 61 needed off 55 balls.

35.1
Wanindu Hasaranga to Krunal Pandya, OUT! TIMBER! There is the wicket Sri Lanka desperately needed. Probably, the last hope for India is walking back now and Hasaranga strikes when his side needed him to. Wastes no time as he makes an impact on the first ball of his third spell. Was wondering why they were holding him back, maybe that is why! This is the perfect delivery, it lands just outside off and spins back in slightly. Pandya plays down the wrong line as maybe he expected the ball to turn a bit extra. It goes past the outside edge and flicks the off pole. India now face a stiff task ahead.

32.4
Lakshan Sandakan to Deepak Chahar, FOUR! Cracked and that should release a lot of pressure off Chahar. This is overpitched and wide outside off. Chahar says thank you very much and drills it through covers for a boundary.

30.1
Lakshan Sandakan to Krunal Pandya, FOUR! Welcome boundary! Runs needed now below 100! That is a gift for Pandya. Short and down the leg side, this is pulled hard through backward square leg and it races away to the fence.

26.6
Lakshan Sandakan to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! Yadav is adjudged lbw! Body blow to India. 116 needed more off 138 balls. Sandakan was having a very ordinary evening before this ball but he has hit the jackpot now. A big wicket at this stage for Sri Lanka as Suryakumar Yadav was the last recognized batsman for India. Sandakan serves a flighted ball close to off and gets it to spin back in a bit, SKY tries to defend it close to his front pad. It appears to have come off his bat but the bowler appeals thinking it's pad first. The umpire is also of the same opinion and raises his finger. Yadav takes the DRS and the replays confirm that it's pad first. Time for the Ball Tracker and it's THREE REDS. Sri Lanka are delighted.

26.4
Lakshan Sandakan to Krunal Pandya, FOUR! Bad delivery and it's put away. A low full toss outside off, Krunal presses forward and drives it crisply through extra cover for a boundary.

26.1
Lakshan Sandakan to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! What a delightful shot to reach your maiden ODI fifty! Yadav, a very special player. It's a lovely knock by him thus far. Loopy and full around off, SKY brings out his drive and threads the gap between covers and mid off for a glorious boundary.

23.2
Chamika Karunaratne to Krunal Pandya, FOUR! Streaky! Pandya was in zero control of this shot. Short in length and on off, Krunal turns to pull but it flies off the top edge and goes behind the keeper for a boundary.

18.1
Chamika Karunaratne to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Blazed away! Once again it's a poor follow-up delivery after a wicket. Short and wide outside off, Yadav reaches out and slaps it through point for a cracking boundary.

17.6
Dasun Shanaka to Hardik Pandya, OUT! TAKEN! The dropped catch does not cost a lot as Shanaka gets his man! A duck for Pandya and his habit of going at the ball with hard hands sees him getting dismissed. That was never a good idea on this wicket which is holding up a little. Sri Lanka well and truly on top and thanks to their skipper. What an over, comes onto bowl when his team was under pressure and has taken two wickets (one was run out). This is on middle, holds on the surface a shade. Pandya looks to play it with a straight bat towards mid on but does so well ahead of his body. It flies off the inside edge to the left of mid-wicket where the fielder, de Silva, dives and takes a fine catch.

17.2
Dasun Shanaka to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! RUN OUT! Pandey has to walk back in probably the most unfortunate way! Dasun Shanaka, you beauty! Gets himself on and provides the wicket, not in the fashion he would have thought of doing though. Gets the breakthrough as this stand was taking the game away from them. Shanaka bowls it full and on middle, Yadav strokes it back towards the bowler who gets down, it brushes his fingertips and goes behind and hits the stumps. Pandey is well out and he knows as he starts walking back. The umpire takes it upstairs and the replays show that the ball has touched his hand. Wrong positioning by Pandey there. He was quite chest on as he was taking a start and he had absolutely no chance of making it back from that position. Sri Lanka are back into this one courtesy of some luck.

16.4
Chamika Karunaratne to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Clever again from Yadav! He has mastered these innovative shots. He is Mr 360 for India. Chamika Karunaratne digs in a short ball outside off, SKY leaps and ramps it over the keeper's head for a boundary. Yadav is currently batting with a strike rate in excess of 160. Scintillating stuff.

15.2
Wanindu Hasaranga to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! This is outstanding stuff from Yadav! Just not allowing the bowler to settle in. The paddle sweep is out, more like a paddle scoop, it is hit fine on the leg side and a boundary results.
4
14.2
Kasun Rajitha to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! That is beautiful! Full and angling into the pads, Yadav just puts bat to ball and this races away to the fence in the mid-wicket region. Absolutely stunning.

13.3
Wanindu Hasaranga to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! What a shot that is! Wow! Exquisite! The googly on middle, picked easily, it is whipped over mid-wicket for a boundary.

12.5
Lakshan Sandakan to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Another full toss and it is hammered! The Lankan captain will be quite disappointed with this effort. It is on middle and Pandey does not need a second invitation, he smashes it through mid-wicket and it races away to the fence, with no chance for the fielder in the deep this time.
4
12.1
Lakshan Sandakan to Manish Pandey, FOUR! That is not good from Lakshan! A wicket just fell off the last ball, he needed to follow it up well but ends up serving a full toss on middle. This is heaved through mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep runs to his right, dives and gets a hand to it but it still trickles towards the ropes. The fielder tries again but this time slides with the ball past the fence.

11.6
Wanindu Hasaranga to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! THREE REDS AND DHAWAN IS A GONER NOW! That looked out, to be honest. The umpire probably felt there was some bat or maybe high. Hasaranga does the trick again for his side and India are now on the back foot. Dhawan was actually struggling. He never looked in despite facing 38 balls and finally falls. This lands on middle and straightens. Dhawan goes back and tries to work it on the leg side but misses. It hits the pads. A huge appeal follows but it's turned down. Hasaranga wants it to be reviewed and his skipper does so and it turns out to be a successful one. The Lankans are having a big celebration!

8.5
Kasun Rajitha to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! A short-arm jab from Dhawan! Rajitha is on the shorter side with his length, it's around off and Dhawan stands his ground. He deliberately keeps his shot down and forces it in front of square leg for a boundary.
4
7.1
Dushmantha Chameera to Manish Pandey, FOUR! That could have been stopped! This is full and on middle, Pandey flicks it stylishly to wide of mid on. Rajitha, who just bowled an over, moves lazily across to his right, dives but over the ball and it goes through to the boundary.
W
4.6
Kasun Rajitha to Ishan Kishan, OUT! Kishan drags it on! No fireworks from his bat this evening. Sri Lanka have another and the half centurion from the last game walks back! This is short and outside off, Kishan slashes at it but is probably undone by the slowness of the delivery. It goes off the inside edge and back onto the stumps. India are in a spot of bother now.
4
3.5
Dushmantha Chameera to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Another one that goes through! Once again such efforts just drop the morale when the team is flying high. Short and outside off, this is cut down towards third man off a thick outside edge, Rajitha there fails to stop it.
4
3.3
Dushmantha Chameera to Shikhar Dhawan, EDGY FOUR! Almost another one for Sri Lanka! They need the luck to go their way but right now it is not! Length and outside off, Dhawan pushes at it, this goes off the inside edge, closely past the off pole and down to the fine leg fence.
W
2.6
Wanindu Hasaranga to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! SHAW IS BOWLED! Wanindu Hasaranga strikes and Sri Lanka are delighted to see the back of Prithvi Shaw. It's a flatter delivery, landing around off and skidding straight on after landing. Shaw once again stays leg side of this delivery with the aim to power it over the infield on the off side. But he fails to connect and the stumps behind are rattled. Maybe, Shaw was expecting it to spin but it's a new ball and just went straight on. A smart piece of bowling by Hasaranga, he just mixed his length to get the better of the batsman.

1.6
Dushmantha Chameera to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Put away! Short and on the body, Dhawan pulls it through square leg. The fielder in the deep runs across, puts in a slide and tries to stop it but touches the ropes in the process. The third umpire confirms it and India end up with three boundaries in this over as well.
4
1.4
Dushmantha Chameera to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Raining boundaries again! This is just a push! He just uses the pace of the bowler! Fuller and on off, Dhawan times it brilliantly. This runs away to the long off fence. We were talking about pressure two balls back, well, forget it!
4
1.3
Dushmantha Chameera to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Misfield and a boundary! This is very poor from Sri Lanka! They are already behind in the series and they just can't put in such efforts! This is short and on off, Dhawan plays the upper cut. It lands short of the fielder at third man where Kasun Rajitha overruns a bit to his right and the ball bounces past his left side for a boundary.

0.6
Kasun Rajitha to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Three boundaries in a row and India are off to a flying start again! There is just no margin for error against Shaw. This one is on his pads, he flicks it through mid-wicket. Races away again. Not the start Lanka wanted. 14 from the first over.
4
0.5
Kasun Rajitha to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Through mid off this time! Fuller this time on off, Shaw once again shows the full face of the bat and creams it through mid off. This is a similar start to the last game.

0.4
Kasun Rajitha to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Shaw is off the mark in style! Length and on middle, Shaw stays back, shows the full face of the bat and punches it past mid on for a boundary. What a confident stroke from a batter oozing with confidence!
