- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 a stunner from Jadeja. A length ball from Siraj, just outside off. Nissanka pushed at it, opening the face of the bat at the point of contact, and that meant the ball went squarer. Jadeja dived to his right and pouched it low with both hands 8/20.3 and there's the edge and KL Rahul takes a good catch stretching to his left. It was a length ball angling across Perera. He looked to drive at it but the away movement meant all he got was an outside edge 1/111.2 Siraj has six! This one pitched similar to the previous ball, but this one nips back in from outside off. Mendis looks for the booming drive but the ball goes through the gate and clatters into middle and off. Only rain can save the Lankans now 33/73.3 an appeal for lbw and the umpire hardly took any time to raise his finger. Sadeera wants to review it, though. Was a length ball pitching just outside off that beat the inside edge and hit the batter around knee roll on the front pad. The ball-tracking shows it would have gone on to hit the top of the leg stump. Sri Lanka in deep trouble 8/33.4 Siraj on a hat-trick! He has got three in four balls now! It was full around off and Asalanka just pushed at it - think with little footwork, failing to keep it down. It went straight to cover where Kishan took it in front of his face, with reverse cups 8/43.6 Fourth wicket for Siraj in the over - Sri Lanka 12 for 5! It was in the channel, slightly fuller than good length with the seam pointing towards deep third. Dhananjaya pushes it at away from the body. The ball moves away to take a faint outside edge and Rahul completes a regulation catch 12/55.4 Off stump has been uprooted. Siraj has a five-for in the sixth over of the match. Full and pitching in the line of off stump this time. Shanaka pushes at it what feels like the 40th time during his four-ball stay. The ball moves away to beat his bat and smash the off stump. Sri Lanka 12 for 6 12/612.3 Hardik gets in on the action! This was too good for young Wellalage. It was a well directed bouncer at his chest. Wellalage thinks about the pull but bails on the stroke late. Too late though, as this strikes his gloves and pops up in the air for a simple take for Rahul 40/815.1 Nine down! Not long now! This was full outside off, looks for the drive and gets a thick edge straight to Kohli at first slip. Takes a sharp reverse-cupped catch at head height 50/915.2 Sri Lanka are all out for 50! This was short of a length outside off and Pathirana just slices this straight to point. What a performance by the Indian bowlers! Shambles by the Lankan batters! 50/10Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL50 all out (15.2 Overs, RR: 3.26)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Kusal Perera, 0.3 ov), 2-8 (Pathum Nissanka, 3.1 ov), 3-8 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 3.3 ov), 4-8 (Charith Asalanka, 3.4 ov), 5-12 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 3.6 ov), 6-12 (Dasun Shanaka, 5.4 ov), 7-33 (Kusal Mendis, 11.2 ov), 8-40 (Dunith Wellalage, 12.3 ov), 9-50 (Pramod Madushan, 15.1 ov), 10-50 (Matheesha Pathirana, 15.2 ov)
