Arshdeep Singh to Pathum Nissanka, FOUR! So, the final delivery spoils a very good over from Singh. Nissanks backs away and Singh follows him with a bouncer. Nissanka goes for the pull shot but the ball goes off the top edge towards fine leg for a boundary.

Arshdeep Singh to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! Mendis with a lovely shot! A full delivery, outside off. Mendis hits it hard over extra-cover for a boundary. Sri Lanka are going to be aggressive and India need to bowl tighter lines and lengths here.

Arshdeep Singh to Pathum Nissanka, FOUR! Again, smashed it! No half measures from Nissanka this time. A fullish delivery, outside off. Nissanka smacks it over mid off for a boundary.

Arshdeep Singh to Kusal Mendis, SIX! Oh, into the crowd this! This is a big, big over and still one ball remaining. Slower delivery, around off and tad shorter from 'round the wicket. Mendis picks it and slams it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! CAUGHT! There is the first wicket for India! Yuzvendra Chahal provides the breakthrough! Chahal bowls it fuller and around leg. Nissanka makes room and goes for the reverse-sweep. He hits it flat but fails to find the gap as Rohit Sharma at point takes a fine catch to his left. A much-needed wicket for India and can they capitalise on this now?

Yuzvendra Chahal to Charith Asalanka, OUT! CAUGHT! Yuzvendra Chahal strikes again and Charith Asalanka's horrid run in this Asia Cup continues! Yuzvendra Chahal is pumped up and India will believe again! This one is nicely tossed up on off. It is a goggly and Charith Asalanka goes for the sweep shot against the turn. However, he gets a huge top edge and the ball goes in the air towards deep square leg. Suryakumar Yadav takes the catch and Indian crowd in the ground erupts!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! This will ease the pressure that was building. Well played Kusal Mendis! Fifty for him, he has always been a talent to look out for and now he is delivering for his country on the big stage. It is on the shorter side, around off. Mendis waits for it and guides it over short third man for a boundary.

13.1
Ravichandran Ashwin to Kusal Mendis, FOUR! Incredible shot from Mendis, starts off the over with a boundary! This is short and outside off. Mendis moves across to his right and paddles it wide of the short fine leg fielder for a boundary.

13.5
Ravichandran Ashwin to Danushka Gunathilaka, OUT! CAUGHT! Ravichandran Ashwin strikes and India get the third wicket now! Sri Lanka are losing their way a bit now. Three wickets in quick succession for India and they are well and truly back in this game now. The good thing that Ashwin does here is that he bowls a nicely flighted delivery, outside off at 84 kph. Danushka Gunathilaka tries to go over the top but does not get the middle of his blade and ends up hitting it straight to KL Rahul at long on. He makes no mistake and Indians are pumped up here.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Kusal Mendis, OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust and this time it is Kusal Mendis! What a breakthrough this is for India and Sri Lanka are in a spot of bother now. Chahal is a clever bowler and is a world-class performer and he is clearly showing all his class today. Bowls a flatter delivery. It is googly that pitches on middle and turns in. Mendis goes back to work it towards the leg side but misses. The ball hits his pads and after a huge appeal from Chahal, the umpire raises his finger. Mendis though goes for the review and the UltraEdge shows no bat here. The Ball Tracking rolls and it shows three reds. Mendis has to take that long walk back to the pavilion.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, SIX! Well connected. This one lands fuller and on middle, slower too, Bhanuka Rajapaksa uses his feet and heaves it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.

15.2
Ravichandran Ashwin to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, SIX! This one lands fuller and on off, quicker too, Bhanuka Rajapaksa uses his feet and lofts it. The ball goes high up in the air and lands just over the long on fence. Maximum!

Arshdeep Singh to Dasun Shanaka, FOUR! Fuller and wide outside off, Dasun Shanaka slices it through third man for a boundary. This man is a dangerous player, so if India have to win from here, they need to keep taking wickets.

Hardik Pandya to Dasun Shanaka, FOUR! On a length and outside off, Dasun Shanaka looks to drive it but gets an outside edge. Pant dives full-length to his right but fails to reach it and the ball runs away towards the fence. Lucky boundary!

Hardik Pandya to Dasun Shanaka, SIX! Fuller and on leg, Dasun Shanaka uses the pace of the ball and helps it over fine leg for a maximum. Good shot! These are big six runs in the context of this game.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dasun Shanaka, FOUR! A low full toss outside off, Dasun Shanaka smashes it through covers for a boundary! Dasun Shanaka was expecting the line to be outside off and that is what Bhuvneshwar Kumar delivers and gets punished. 13 needed from 9 now.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dasun Shanaka, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries. Fuller and outside off, Dasun Shanaka looks to drive it but gets a thick outside edge as the ball races the third man fence. Not the shot he intended to play but he will take it. Sri Lanka need 9 from 8 now!
