9.04pm Handy cameos from the lower order have lifted Sri Lanka to a score of respectability. They were struggling and stuttering at one stage, through some incisive Indian bowing and some poor shots. India will be quite happy with that though and SL won't be overly disappointed either. They have something to bowl to. Remember, SL need to win.

Nehra to Kulasekara, FOUR, shot. Picked his spot and executed well. Got a low full toss which aided and abetted him. Kulasekara slogs it away over midwicket. Well played
 

Sunil Sharma: "Both Bumrah and Pandya have to learn the steep curve of bowling. Great fast bowlers are the not the one known for their deadly pace. Fast bowlers do also have good control of line and length, giving less wide and know where to pitch when captain demands. Also, they were extremely good on their follow through. Wasim Akram and McGrath were exceptional with aforementioned prowess. These exceptional qualities also do make great bowlers !"
