Overs18.6
Score130 - 9

S Thakur to L Malinga, OUT! Number nine goes down! Third wicket in the over for Thakur! Malinga makes room and Shardul bowls it short and on Lasith's body. Malinga looks to pull but is cramped for room. He ends up miscuing it towards square leg where Yadav makes no mistake. What an outstanding penultimate over, 3 runs and a wicket.

20:31 (IST) Jan 07

Lasith Malinga is the new man in.

Overs18.5
Score130 - 8

S Thakur to I Udana, OUT! TAKEN! Number 8 goes down! Udana was done in completely by the slowness of the delivery. It is a knuckle delivery and it is outside off. Fuller in length. Udana looks to go inside out but is way too early in the shot. It goes off the toe-end towards cover where Saini takes it. Sri Lanka are in danger of not playing their 20 overs here.

S Thakur to W Hasaranga, On the fuller side again, difficult to get under those. It is hit towards mid off for one. Singles are something India won't mind.

S Thakur to I Udana, On off, this is pushed towards cover for one.

20:28 (IST) Jan 07

Isuru Udana walks out to bat. He can hit the long ball, can he do it again? His side desperately need some runs and momentum heading into the break.

Overs18.2
Score128 - 7

S Thakur to de Silva, OUT! Another one bites the dust! The last recognized batter is out of here. Now even 145 looks farfetched. It is a cross-seam delivery, fuller in length and on off. Dhananjaya looks to chip it over the mid off fielder but does not get enough power behind it. It ends up being an easy catch for Dube at mid off. First wicket for Shardul Thakur.

K Yadav to W Hasaranga, DROPPED! A sharp chance that! Virat Kohli the culprit. This is tossed up outside off, Hasaranga goes after it. The ball flies off the outside edge to the left of Kohli who dives with one hand stretched out but fails to hang on. It goes behind for a single.

Overs16.6
Score117 - 6

J Bumrah to D Shanaka, OUT! Bowled! The Bumrah special delivers the tasty treat for Virat Kohli and India once again. Who would believe that this man was out with an injury for moths? He looks like he never left. Bumrah comes steaming in and bowls a slower delivery on middle. Shanaka makes room and looks to hit it on the off side but he misses it completely. The ball clips the top of middle and Bumrah gets his first wicket of the game.
