IND vs SL Live Score: Good ball

0.6

Dilshan Madushanka to Rahul, no run

0.5

Dilshan Madushanka to Rahul, no run, Rahul tries to go too hard on the cut as the width was there, but chops it without any timing. Immediately looks at his bat

Aqib M: “Very difficult to defend totals in UAE, last two games are examples. India need to put 200+ at least to give bowlers a chance considering the absence of Bumrah who would have been very handful in last match if he was there.”

0.4

Dilshan Madushanka to Rahul, no run, back of a length on leg-stump, may well have just pitched outside leg, Rahul misses the nudge, is rapped high on the thigh

0.4

Dilshan Madushanka to Rahul, wide, that clips the pad as Rahul misses the leg-side glance, but given as a wide. Poor call

0.3

Dilshan Madushanka to Rohit, 1 run, back of a length and angling away from Rohit who steers to the right of third man and gets off the mark

0.2

Dilshan Madushanka to Rohit, no run, short of length outside off, Rohit defends to cover

0.2

Dilshan Madushanka to Rohit, wide, swing but going down leg, Rohit flicks and misses

0.1

Dilshan Madushanka to Rahul, 1 run, swing straightaway for Madushanka, moves in and KL in looking for a watchful defence, gets a thick leading-edge that rolls through backward point for a single. Streaky start

1.6

M Theekshana to Kohli, no run

Virat Kohli, right handed bat, comes to the crease

1.5

M Theekshana to Rahul, out Lbw!! Rohit closes his eyes in disappointment after the ball-tracking shows it to be umpire’s call on hitting. Meanwhile Rahul has a word with umpire Bismillah Jan Shinwari before he walks off. Came down the track to flick, but missed the dipping low full-toss which swung in like an inswinger, struck on the boot as he misses the flick. Just clipping leg-stump and KL goes after taking the review, and Sri Lanka are pumped. Rahul lbw b M Theekshana 6(7) [4s-1]

M Theekshana to Rahul, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Mittul Negi: “India should have continued with Bishnoi. He bowled really well last game. Also, his most of the balls are googlies, so both Ashwin and Bishnoi take the ball away from the left-handers”

Given out LBW and KL immediately signals for the review. He does not even have a chat with Rohit before going up for it. Hit bang on the boot as he comes down the track to flick. He is not 3-metres down the track for sure, which will save him. No bat as well. Waiting for ball-tracking. First they will check for UltraEdge to remove any doubts about being bat there. The third umpire wants to make sure he gets this right. Looking at UltraEdge still. “No clear evidence to show it is bat-first” says the third umpire. Wickets is umpire’s call and KL has to go.

1.4

M Theekshana to Rahul, FOUR, top shot from Rahul. Shimmies down the track and takes it on the half-volley, just a chip over extra-cover and nearly all the way, one bounce over the ropes

2.4

Dilshan Madushanka to Kohli, out Bowled!! Stumps splattered. And Dilshan Madushanka takes off his aeroplane in celebration. Wild swing across the line from Kohli to an inswinger that comes back in from a good length and dismantles the stumps. Played across the line and that’s a wicket that Madushanka will cherish for a long time. Kohli b Dilshan Madushanka 0(4)

Dilshan Madushanka to Kohli, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

2.4

Dilshan Madushanka to Kohli, wide, strange late call from umpire Ahsan Raza. He takes at least 10 seconds or even more to give it as wide. Kohli comes down the track and tries to flick the leg-side inswinger, seems to have flicked the pad, but given as wide. Raza was waiting whether Sri Lanka will take a review for a caught behind

Dilshan Madushanka to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, had Theekshana at third man stayed right on the edge of the cushions, he may have had half a chance.
