He lofts Mathews over long off for another six and crashes a short ball over point for a boundary. The fifty run partnership is up. What batting from Kohli. Short ball and Kohli whips it to the deep mid wicket fence. Those iron wrists showing plenty of mettle. In the air but safe! Short ball and Pandey swats it over deep mid wicket, it is just over the fielder who leaps but cannot reach it. India very much in the hunt. Drills the cover drive on the up and bisects the gap at extra cover. India need less than a 100 now. Short ball from Thisara and Kohli short-arm pulls it to deep square leg. Another good over for India. India on track at the moment but the wicket is not becoming easy to bat on.

Great stuff from the Chinaman. That drop does not cost much. Prasanna pulls a short ball to deep square leg but Chahal cannot get there. Can Sri Lanka push past 160? Prasanna is the key but Ashan Priyanjan has struggled. Axar got the ball to spin away and Seekkuge tried to drive, Dhoni goes up but the umpire says not out. Looked like an edge.

Some inswing and the right areas immediately. Niroshan Dickwella, who has had some starts will open with Upul Tharanga. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to open the bowling for India. Hardik Pandya is not playing this match and Axar Patel will play. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will open the batting. No overs will be lost. Will get a clear picture in a couple of minutes as to what will be the revised timings for this match. Looks all fine for a start soon provided the umpires deem the outfield to be safe.

He has led Sri Lanka in five T20 internationals, won three and lost two. He has a 50 per cent win record as a T20 international skipper. He has captained India in four T20 internationals so far. Administrative issues have done little to lift the morale of the players. The failure of senior players like Lasith Malinga and Upul Tharanga to lead from the front has hurt the Lankans in the series against India. The failure of Dinesh Chandimal has been a massive surprise. Former Test batsmanwith the way Cricket Sri Lanka is going. You can follow the. Sri Lanka have made a few changes to their original T20 squad after suffering the 5-0 whitewash. Leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay and seam-bowling all-rounder are prominent additions. Pacer Suranga Lakmal makes a comeback after injury, as he had been ruled out ahead of the second Test in August. Mystery spinner Akila Dananjay has also been added to the squad.
