- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.5 and there's the breakthrough! Slow flight wide of off, deliberately dangles this one up and gets it to dip, and Nissanka gets down low and goes hard at the slog-sweep. Only manages a top edge, and Pant has his first ODI catch since his comeback, calling loudly and completing a nicely-judged catch where a short and very straight extra-cover might be 89/135.3 But Parag has struck back straight away! This is excellently done from Parag, this time it's the leg break again but here it skids on. Avishka plants a front foot in front of the stumps and looks to work it onside but gets his bat nowhere near it. It looks pretty plumb, so much so he doesn't even review. Avishka falls for 96 171/248.4 taken, and he made a tricky catch look simple there. Shubman Gill makes everything look simple. Kuldeep goes hard, into the pitch with this stock ball that turns sharply into Mendis and cramps him a little on the pull. Goes hard at it, swivelling his hip into the shot, and hits it in the air, but he can't quite clear the fielder at long-on. Gill catches it two-handed over his head while stepping backwards, his feet inches from the rope, then he flicks the ball up, steps over the rope and back into the field of play, and catches the ball again 235/737.6 Parag has done him in! Good length on the stumps, and it straightens. Not only that, it skids through as Asalanka is caught on the back foot and trapped right in front of middle. The finger goes up quick, but SL review. This though is crashing into the top of middle. Sri Lanka lose their skipper and a review 183/338.5 ooooooh, did that hit his foot first? Siraj thinks so, and he's beseeching the umpire for an lbw. Yorker, and there's some late tail into Sadeera as he tries desperately to pull his feet away from the line and jam his bat down on it. India review, and it's definitely hit the boot before hitting the bat... And that is that for Sadeera, a first-baller. Terrific delivery from Siraj. He's been reversing it right through this over, and this ball, according to ball-tracking, is crashing into leg stump 184/442.4 bowled him! Didn't pick the length there at all. Or took a chance and it didn't come off. Goes very deep in his crease, and across, to one on the fuller side of a length, angling away from the stumps and only straightening slightly. Wants to work it through the leg side - it's a bedrock of his game - but on this occasion it hits his inside edge and cannons into the stumps 196/543.3 third wicket for Parag! Such a good ball, this. Quick length ball, but still manages to put overspin on this and get it to dip and turn. Goes back to defend, gets squared up and beaten on the outside edge as it turns from middle and pegs back off stump 199/6Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL248/7 (50 Overs, RR: 4.96)Fall of wickets: 1-89 (Pathum Nissanka, 19.5 ov), 2-171 (Avishka Fernando, 35.3 ov), 3-183 (Charith Asalanka, 37.6 ov), 4-184 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 38.5 ov), 5-196 (Janith Liyanage, 42.4 ov), 6-199 (Dunith Wellalage, 43.3 ov), 7-235 (Kusal Mendis, 48.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 Wellalage gets the big 'un! Rohit looks to slog sweep this from well outside off, but this deeps and the length isn't quite there. The ball also turns away, and just about catches the edge on the bottom of the bat. Mendis completes an excellent catch behind the stumps 53/24.3 Gill tries to go Rohit and fails! Skips down the track, he gets nowhere near it. It's full and angled in towards leg stump, Gill has a wild swing and misses. This one might have skid through while also keeping a touch low. Asitha is pumped 37/110.5 Huuuuge appeal and the finger eventually goes up! Kohli reviews but this looked mighty close. It was the arm ball pitching around off. Kohli comes forward and plays for turn that isn't there and is struck flush on the front pad. Three reds confirms the bad news for Kohli, and he must depart 71/49.2 Pant's been done in! He comes down the track, but Theekshana sees him coming. Drags the length back with one that dips, and it's the offbreak as well which grips and spins away. Pant is in no man's land and Mendis wastes little time in whipping off the bails 63/312.5 big appeal for lbw, and it's given! Did that straighten enough? Flat length ball angling into the stumps, and then Iyer, looking to work it leg side off the back foot, is beaten on the inside edge, beaten by lack of turn. It does straighten, though, just not as much as Iyer expected. He's reviewed... It pitches on middle and leg, it struck him on the front pad - he'd opened up to access the leg side - in front of leg stump, but because he'd opened up like that, he was deep in his crease at the time of impact and the ball didn't have that far to travel. It was going on to hit leg stump according to ball-tracking, and India are six down 82/612.1 five down, that's big turn! And I think Axar misread that too. It wasn't short, but it may have been short enough to cut if the line had been wider. As it was, though, Wellalage didn't angle this that far across the left-hander, and on this pitch, you don't want to be committing to cut something from such a straight line. No room to adjust, no time either because it turns quickly, and past his inside edge to crash into leg stump 73/515.6 oh no, that's not a good leave. That's a good-length ball angling into the stumps, and yes, it's the attempted legbreak, and the seam position suggests it should turn away and miss the stumps, but there's a lot of natural variation on offer. Just shoulders arms and this ball hits not just off stump but a chunk of middle too 100/717.3 gone, and hje can't review even if he'd like to! Down the track, realises he's not to the pitch of this flighted legbreak, and sinks onto his back knee to have a slog-sweep at it. Misses, is hit on the back thigh, and Ruchira Palliyaguruge gives it out immediately. Brave decision, because he's down the track on a turning pitch, but we'll know better when we see ball-tracking. It straightened, and it didn't turn a lot, but it still had a long way to travel. Well, ball-tracking says that pitched on off and middle and was turning to hit a good part of middle stump 101/825.6 Sundar is gone! Is this finally the game? Looks to go over long-off and but ends up slicing it! It's high and Vandersay runs in to grab it. He bobbles it on the slide, but somehow holds on. The crowd knows what that wicket means 138/926.1 and there's the fifth! And there is Sri Lanka's first bilateral ODI series win over India since August 1997! Tossed up, angling across, and it either skids on with the angle after pitching within the stumps or straightens ever so slightly. Goes hard at the sweep, and it turns in to beat him and strike his back leg. Given out, and India have no reviews left. Kuldeep was unlucky there. That didn't turn back enough to hit off stump, going by replays. 138/10Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL138 all out (26.1 Overs, RR: 5.27)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Shubman Gill, 4.3 ov), 2-53 (Rohit Sharma, 7.1 ov), 3-63 (Rishabh Pant, 9.2 ov), 4-71 (Virat Kohli, 10.5 ov), 5-73 (Axar Patel, 12.1 ov), 6-82 (Shreyas Iyer, 12.5 ov), 7-100 (Riyan Parag, 15.6 ov), 8-101 (Shivam Dube, 17.3 ov), 9-138 (Washington Sundar, 25.6 ov), 10-138 (Kuldeep Yadav, 26.1 ov)
