India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I: India beat Sri Lanka by 7 wickets

L Kumara to S Dhawan, Lahiru starts with a full length delivery on middle, Dhawan drives it behind square on the off side for a single.

Lahiru Kumara to bowl from the other end.

L Malinga to S Dhawan, FOUR OVERTHROWS! Needless runs! You can't afford to give such gifts with a low total to defend. Dhawan comes down the track but Malinga bowls another very full inswinging delivery on middle, it is jammed out towards mid off and the batters take off. The fielder there picks the ball up and has a needless shy at the bowler's end but misses. No one backing up and it goes to the square leg fence. The last ball spoils the over completely. 8 from it in the end.

L Malinga to S Dhawan, One more yorker but once again it is a little too leg side. Dhawan looks to jam it out but gets hit on the boot first and then it hits the bat.

L Malinga to S Dhawan, Well played! Takes a few steps down the track and Malinga bowls a slower one. Dhawan adjusts and guides it past the diving point fielder for two.

L Malinga to S Dhawan, An inswinging yorker this time and on middle, Dhawan jams it out towards mid off.

L Malinga to S Dhawan, Good delivery! Full and tailing back in. It is a little too straight. Dhawan squeezes it out towards mid on.

L Malinga to KL Rahul, Shorter and outside off, this is guided down to third man for one. India are underway straightaway!

We are back for the chase! The Indian openers, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan are out in the middle. Lasith Malinga has the new ball in his hand. Here we go...

Shardul Thakur says he is happy with the team's effort. Further adds the pitch is a good one to bat on, they tried a lot of shots but it did not come off. States all the bowlers bowled well and all the plans were executed. States they were swinging the bat and they could not just bowl one length and hence, he had to change it continuously. Informs the knuckle ball is a good variation but he puts in a lot of thought about when to bowl it. Ends by saying you need to be ready at all the time to bowl.

So 143 is the target for India to get on a wicket that has looked good for batting. Sri Lanka will have to bowl out of their skin if they are to upset the Indians. What do we have in store for the final innings? Join us after the break to find out but before that one of the star performers with the ball, Shardul Thakur is caught down for a quick chat.

It was a sorry showing from the Sri Lankan batters. They started off well with Avishka Fernando on the attacking note. Only him and Kusal Perera showed some fight with the willow. Dhananjaya de Silva towards the end tried to provide the much-needed impetus but it was too late and he could not last long. The only positive for the visitors is that the hat-trick of boundaries towards then end and they might feel they have some momentum with them.

What a brilliant bowling performance by India. In a pitch which has always been a paradise for batting, they have showed their class in bowling and proved why the Indian bowling line-up is so talked about. They were excellent with their lines and lengths. They did not just save runs but managed to pick wickets at regular intervals. All the bowlers were good with the white leather in hand. Shardul Thakur was economical and picked up 3 wickets. Saini and Kuldeep had two apiece. Though the latter was expensive, he chipped in with wickets. The returning Bumrah and Washington Sundar had one wicket each. All-in-all it was a very good bowling show put up by the hosts.

J Bumrah to W Hasaranga, FOUR! Oh yes, he does! This is not as good as the last two but Sri Lanka won't care. It is off the top edge. Bumrah changes his length and bangs it short. Malinga looks to pull but gets a top edge which goes over the keeper and down to the third man fence. 12 from the final over, those decisions to not run a single pays off. SRI LANKA END WITH 142/9!

J Bumrah to W Hasaranga, FOUR! Two-in-two! This is even better than the last boundary. It is a seam-up delivery, full and on off. Hasaranga creams it through covers and it races to the fence. Can he make it three in three?

J Bumrah to W Hasaranga, FOUR! Gets one away finally! Clever placement! It is shorter and outside off, it is a slower ball. Hasaranga waits for it and then guides it past backward point for a boundary. Need a couple more here.

J Bumrah to W Hasaranga, One more dot! Very full and on off, Hasaranga hits it straight to covers. He opts not to run again.

J Bumrah to W Hasaranga, On the shorter side and on middle, the batter looks to pull but mistimes it back to the bowler.

J Bumrah to W Hasaranga, On the fuller side, this is hit to covers.

Lahiru Kumara walks out at number 11!
