OUT! Kasun Rajitha gets his second wicket after all, though it still isn’t the prized wicket of Virat Kohli, who has been dropped twice off his bowling so far. It once again is the slower ball that does the trick for Rajitha, with Pandya skieing the ball towards long on where Hasaranga safely grabs it in the end. IND 330/5

DROPPED! Virat Kohli has been handed yet another lifeline as the Lankans drop yet another straightforward chance, this time skipper Dasun Shanaka the culprit at extra cover. And once again it is Kasun Rajitha who is denied a wicket. Shanaka did not time his jump correctly after Kohli went for an inside-out cover drive, and the ball popped out of his hand in the end. Earlier in the over Pandya got a glare from Kohli after he denied the latter a second run.

BOWLED! Rahul departs right after bringing up the 300 for the Men in Blue, getting deceived by an off-cutter from Rajitha. Looks to guide this behind square, but misses it completely and hears the death rattle as a result. End of a fine fourth-wicket stand worth 90 that has revived the hosts’ hopes of posting a massive total on the board. Vice-captain Hardik Pandya, meanwhile, joins Kohli at the centre.

End of the second powerplay, with India one hit over the fence away from breaching the 300-mark with another 10 overs left in the innings. Both Kohli and Rahul appear well set at the moment, the partnership between them worth 81 off 65 with Kohli batting on 74. The Men in Blue will fancy crossing 400 for a second consecutive time in the 50-over format from here.

After 38 overs,India 275/3 ( Virat Kohli 62 , KL Rahul (W) 28)
Dhananjaya ends up leaking 15 runs in his fifth over, with Kohli and Rahul collecting a six each — the latter bringing up his half-century in 47 balls in the process. Rajitha nearly gets Kohli’s wicket the following over, the former captain nicking the ball to the keeper with Mendis fluffing a straightforward chance. As if to rub salt on Rajitha’s wounds after the dropped chance, three boundaries are collected later in the over, with Kohli collecting two in a row off the last two deliveries. Hasaranga replaces Dhananjaya, and bowls out a tidy eighth over — conceding just three singles.
