India 77-1 (13 ovs) vs SL 230-8 | Scorecard

Left-arm spinner Wellalage has kept things tight from his end. Gill has been happy to bat steadily without taking any risks as Rohit attacks from the other end.

Three singles from the 11th over with Wellalage giving away a total of 13 runs in his four overs, including a maiden.

Off-spinner Dananjaya continues as Gill hits the second ball uppishly past the fielder in the covers for one and Rohit can't get a run off the last four balls.

Gill, who struggled for 16 from 35 balls, finally loses patience. He looks to slog sweep Wellalage over midwicket but gets the top edge and is taken by wicketkeeper Mendis on the off-side.

Virat Kohli gets off the mark with a single on the off-side and Rohit keeps strike with one from the last ball.
