SL 101-5 (27 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Sundar continues as Nissanka clips the first ball to deep square leg for a single to bring up his fifty from 67 balls.

Liyanage gets off the mark with a single on the leg side and his partner Nissanka takes one off the fifth ball on the off-side.

Kuldeep starts his fifth over with a half-tracker as the well-set Nissanka pulls it through square leg for a four and then takes a single next ball.

Liyanage fails to pick up the googly trying to defend as the ball goes straight on to strike his pads. He then takes a single to bring up Sri Lanka's 100, in the 26th over.

A huge moment in the game. Sundar dismisses the well-set Nissanka, who is given out leg before wicket after a good innings of 56 from 75 balls.

Nissanka went across to flick but missed and was struck on the pads to given out leg before. He took the review but the ball is clipping the leg stump which means the umpire's decision stands.

Another wicket as Dinuth Wellalage is given out leg before wicket as he misses the ugly slog sweep against Sundar. The review saves him as the ball has struck in line but is turning quite a bit to miss the off-stump.

Probing over from Sundar as Wellalage does well to survive the last two balls.
