Asalanka brings himself back into the attack after nearly giving the ball to Dananjaya.
He strikes with the crucial wicket of the well-set Axar, who pushes at a wide one only to get the edge and is caught behind for 33.
Kuldeep Yadav keeps out the last ball of the over as Asalanka does well to concede a single and pick a crucial wicket,
Dananjaya back from the other end. He produces a beauty to beat Dube, getting the ball to turn and bounce and go past the outside edge.
Dube breaks the shackles as he lofts the flighted delivery straight back over the bowler's head for a six to take India past 200, in the 42nd over.
He inside edges the last ball on the leg side for a single to retain strike.
