India 147-5 (29 ovs) vs SL 230-8 | Scorecard

The pressure is slowly building on the Indians as Sri Lanka dry up the boundaries, stringing together a few tight overs to ramp up the asking rate.

Hasaranga gives away just two singles in his fifth over, while pacer Fernando bowls a maiden over from the other end.

Axar releases the pressure as he plays the inside out lofted shot over the covers -- the first boundary after 32 balls.

Off-spinner Charith Asalanka comes into the attack, to bowl the 29th over.

Axar and Rahul easily pick five singles from Asalanka's first over as India look to put on a good partnership.
