After 59.2 overs,India 252/10 ( Jasprit Bumrah 0 , )
So India have been bowled out for 252. Had it not been for the assault by Shreyas Iyer (92), the hosts’ total could have been much worse. Embuldeniya and Jayawickrama with three wickets each.
And that will be dinner break. Do join us in a few minutes for the final session of play today, a complete session under lights. Now that should be fascinating.
OUT! Shreyas Iyer is the last to depart, but what an innings this has been. He deserved a hundred, but that’s not for today. He’s stumped by Dickwella as Jayawickrama wraps up the Indian innings
After 58 overs,India 243/9 ( Shreyas Iyer 83 , Jasprit Bumrah 0)
Jayawickrama into the attack again. Shreyas has been dropped yet again, this time by Kusal Mendis. SL have no reviews left after they lose another one. Its for an LBW against Bumrah. UltraEdge shows a clear spike, so decision stays Not Out.
After 56 overs,India 237/9 ( Shreyas Iyer 77 , Jasprit Bumrah 0)
Shreyas Iyer with a straight six going over the bowler’s head for the maxiumum. Fearless, bold cricket from Shreyas this is. Seven off Jayawickrama’s over.
After 55 overs, India 230/9
Jayawickrama with the wicket of Shami, who gets a leading edge and onto the hands of de Silva at gully. Jasprit Bumrah is the last batter in. Can India bat through the session now?
OUT! de Silva makes no mistake with the catch at gully region. Shami gets a top edge off the bat that directly leads to the fielder. Shami c de Silva b Jayawickrama 5
After 53 overs,India 223/8 ( Shreyas Iyer 68 , Mohammed Shami 0)
Embuldeniya resumes. A brace from Shreyas Iyer in the penultimate ball of the over.
After 52 overs,India 221/8 ( Shreyas Iyer 66 , Mohammed Shami 0)
Five runs come off Embuldeniya’s over. Lakmal with the over that follows. Just one off that over though.
After 50 overs,India 215/8 ( Shreyas Iyer 60 , )
Embuldeniya continues, and a dozen runs come from his over. SL are leaking runs here, India taking the aggressive approach at the moment. Change of bowling in the next over as Lakmal returns to the attack. Lakmal delivers, cleaning up Axar Patel in the last ball of the over. Five runs and a wicket in it.
OUT! Bowled em! Axar Patel’s stint in the middle is done and dusted as Lakmal cleans up the Indian. Axar b Lakmal 9
