    15.1 oh man, Wellalage has sent back all of the Big 3! This is unplayable. The ball has turned a lot, and now he gets one to skid on straight while keeping low. Rohit goes on the back foot to defend, and before he can bring his bat down fully the ball has snuck through and taken out leg stump 91/3
    11.1 ohhhh, and he strikes first ball with an absolute beaut! A bit of flight, and the angle is bringing the ball in towards middle stump. Then it dips on Gill as he comes forward looking for a clip to mid-on, and suddenly he's nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Loses his balance as he reaches out for it, and the ball turns past his outside edge to knock back off stump 80/1
    13.5 got him, massive wicket, and Kohli falls cheaply after four successive ODI hundreds at this ground. On the shorter side of a length, and Kohli goes back to try and whip it square on the leg side. Sticks in the pitch, though, and he ends up hitting it straighter than intended, and in the air, straight to the man at short midwicket 90/2
    34.2 You just can't keep him out of the game! Wellalage takes a cracker at short extra cover! This was tossed up outside off, and Kishan makes no effort to keep this drive down. Looks to clear the infield, but Wellalage puts in an almighty vertical leap and grabs this overhead 170/5
    29.6 Wellalage has four! And it's very similar to the one that got Kohli. This is pitched just on the border of back of a length, and it grips, sticks and turns in the surface. Rahul goes back looking to work this onside but is way too early on the shot and ends up chipping the gentlest of return catches to Wellalage 154/4
    35.6 and he's past the outside edge again. Mendis and Wellalage think there may have been an edge, actually, and Sri Lanka have reviewed! Super length close to off stump, and Pandya presses forward to defend. Turns sharply, taking a chunk off turf off the pitch, and then it passes close to the outside edge. Is there a tickle through to the keeper? UltraEdge says... YES!!! A little murmur, and Wellalage gets his fifth wicket with his final ball of the game. WHATAMOMENT!!! 172/6
    38.5 wow, that's quick turn, and the finger is up immediately! Flat length ball, pitching just inside the line of the stumps, and turning and bouncing sharply. Jadeja is looking to work this leg side, from the crease, and the ball brushes the shoulder of his bat and nestles in Mendis's gloves 178/7
    49.1 And that's that! 213 all out! Axar had to go for it. He skips down the track but only manages to toe-end this heave over long-on. Doesn't clear the man this time, and India have been bowled out. It's the 14th straight game SL have bowled out the opposition, and the first time India have lost all their wickets to spinners! 213/10
    42.1 bowled him! Asalanka gets his third! Dangled up nicely outside off, and Bumrah looks to work it with the turn. Lets his hands get away from his body, and the ball turns sharply between bat and pad to rattle his stumps 186/8
    42.2 and it goes straight into that fielder's hands!!! Asalanka is turning it on here. Quick, back of a length, goes back to punch into the covers, but it turns and takes his edge. Goes quickly to Dhananjaya's left at slip and he makes a good catch look simple, great footwork to get into position to pouch it with two hands, at chest height 186/9

    2.1 gone, that's an excellent delivery from Bumrah. He swung the ball both ways in the first over, and he now he hits the pitch hard in the corridor and gets it to seam away and hold its line. Nissanka feels for it, playing the initial angle, and gets a thick edge that Rahul does well to catch with a two-handed dive to his right. It was travelling quickly and fairly low 7/1
    7.1 three down! Slanting away into the corridor, and it's probably not short enough to cut. Karunaratne throws an angled bat at the ball, and the edge flies quickly towards slip, where Gill makes a sharp chance look easy, reverse-cupping it with both hands over his head 25/3
    6.4 is that out? Yup, Mendis is walking. Bumrah gets him with a slower ball. Full and loopy outside off stump. Almost as full as the previous yorker, but at least partly because of that delivery, Mendis is worried about lbw and getting his front leg across, and by the time he realises it's a slower one he's reaching away from his body to play it. It bounces just short of his bat and then balloons up to the short cover fielder. The umpires go upstairs to check if it's a bump ball, but it isn't. Mendis gave it away anyway by beginning to walk before the umpires told him to wait. Clever, clever bowling from Bumrah. As always 25/2
    17.3 Sadeera throws it away! Massive wicket in the context of the game! Sadeera skips down the track and looks to heave this over long-on, but he's nowhere near the pitch as this turns back through the gap and gives Rahul the simplest of stumpings. Sadeera will be very disappointed with himself when he sees this back 68/4
    19.2 Kuldeep has another! And it's another big one! This time Asalanka goes for a sweep and he gloves it on to his front pad. It pops up and Rahul dives forward from behind the stumps and takes this one handed. Great reactions from the keeper. Sri Lanka in the mire 73/5
    37.3 Jadeja breaks the stand! And the Premadasa is silenced! This was tossed up and DDS looks to loft this over mid-on but can't get the height. Gill leaps up and takes it overhead. Is that the game? 162/7
    25.1 and he strikes immediately! Lovely catch from Rohit at slip, falling low to his right. Excellent length, and it brings Shanaka half-forward for an attempted push into the covers. Turns, his hands follow the ball, and a healthy edge follows 99/6

    40.5 Fantastic take at mid-on! And Theekshana is gone! Theekshana looks to work this onside and ends up chipping it in the air to the right of mid-on, where SKY goes full stretch to his right and grabs it with his right hand. They go upstairs to check, but it's clean. Fantastic work! 171/8
    41.1 And another one bites the dust! This was just too good, for most batters, let alone a no.9. Googly pitching on middle and leg, and then turning sharply past the back foot defence to clip the top of off. Quality 172/9
    41.3 And that's that! Wellalage is stranded at the other end as India win by 41 runs! This was tossed up as Pathirana looks to sweep. Ends up going between his legs and crashing into the stumps 172/10
