Wellalage keen to break free. He makes room to hit Sundar through the off-side but is beaten by some extra turn and bounce. He manages to slap the last ball to deep point for a single.

Part-time off-spinner Shubman Gill comes into the attack as he replaces Kuldeep.

Singles from the first three balls before Liyanage pounces on the short ball, pulling it over midwicket for a six.

Another single as the right-hander slaps the short ball on the off-side.

Width from Gill as Wellalage cuts it behind point for a four.

Sri Lanka manage to break free as they score 14 runs from Gill's first over.
