    0.4 Madushanka is superb again. There is good pace, some movement, and the killer blow is the tacky bounce. Short of a length, Kishan follows the movement with his hands, and opens the face. It flies off the shoulder of the bat for a high catch to slip 3/1

    14.4 well bowled by Hasaranga. The crowd is silenced for a moment. Gill is down the wicket, Hasaranga pulls the length back on this legbreak. Gill plays for the turn, but the ball goes straight on and stays a touch low. Beats his inside edge. Bowled 163/3

    5.5 Karunaratne is thrilled. He has silenced the crowd. Just an instinctive dab to a short ball on off stump. The tackiness means it bounces a little extra, and he can't keep it down. Caught at short third 52/2

    15.5 Pandya holes out. The length is there, right in the slot, but it seems like Pandya is early into the shot, and sends it straight up for an easy catch at long-off 174/4

    16.4 Hooda looks for a six of his own, but has just not got the timing right. Madushanka has bowled the slower-ball legcutter. On a length, outside off, and Hooda just doesn't have the pace to work with. Caught at long-on 189/5

    5.3 Arshdeep picks up a wicket, and this will do his confidence a world of good! Banged in short with the line outside off. He looks for the pull, but is late on his shot. Gets a thick edge onto his helmet with the ball going to short third where Mavi snaps it up gleefully. 44/2

    4.5 Axar can do no wrong for now! Fires it flatter outside off. Mendis was looking to slog it away towards wide long-on or thereabout, gets a thick outside edge with the ball only going as far as Umran Malik at short third. Simple catch for him and India have a big wicket upfront. 44/1

    6.1 What has Avishka done? A hit-me ball, and he has hit it straight to fine leg! Short of a length going down leg, he looks to help it away by getting inside the line. But does not get enough bat on it. Arshdeep wasn't unsure whether to come for the catch or stay still. Ends up catching it comfortably, eventually. 51/3

    11.2 Another one bites the dust! Sri Lanka are unravelling quickly now. Slows it up a touch down leg. De Silva shapes up to sweep, but gets a top-edge with the ball going high but not finding the distance. Gill steadies himself at deep backward square leg and pouches it easily. 96/5

    9.3 That is a top catch from Mavi running to his left from deep cover! Rank long hop outside off, he extends his arms and gets a decent connection on his loft, but Mavi does exceedingly well to sprint across and complete the catch on the run. Sri Lanka in all sorts now! 84/4

    16.1 And, gets his second wicket of the night! Shanaka has fought valiantly all through for his team, but there is only disappointment this time for him. On a length on middle, he clears his front leg again, aiming for a massive heave over potentially somewhere over long on. Gets a lot of height but no distance, and deep midwicket comes in to complete the catch. 135/9

    12.6 Hasaranga got away with one the previous ball, not this time around! On a good length around off, that was around 139.8 kph. Hasaranga is looking to go for it every ball. This time gets it off the toe end of the blade, and spoons a simple catch to mid-on. 107/6

    14.3 Slower length ball on middle stump, Chamika misses and is caught bang in front of the wicket! Chamika reviews, but more in hope than anything else, I suspect. He had moved quite a bit across his stumps, and once he missed, that was always going to be trouble. Ball tracker confirms that would have slammed into leg stump. Chamika was almost off the ground before the third umpire made his decision. 123/7

    15.3 The off stump goes for a walk! What a sight for a fast bowler! Length on off, Theekshana backs away but the 146kph thunderbolt is too quick for him. Misses his slog and sees his off pole flattened. 127/8

    16.4 All over! India win the match by 91 runs and take the series 2-1. Sri Lanka are skittled for 136, and India's run of bilateral T20I series wins at home continue. Fuller on middle stump, he has a swipe at it, gets an inside-edge back onto his stumps with the leg stump taking a walk. 137/10
