Yuzi strikes!  WICKET!

He gets his second wicket of the game as Sri Lanka lose their seventh. A wicket in his 1st over and a wicket in his last over. Chahal gets the Sri Lanka skipper for 39. Sri Lanka 205/7

18:00 (IST)18 Jul 2021
GONE! Chahar strikes again

Two wickets in two overs for Deepak Chahar. He gets Asalanka in the previous over and now he gets Sri Lanka's x-factor player Wanindu Hasaranga. Lovely Catch by Dhawan at short mid-wicket! SL- 186/6 after 40 overs | END OF POWERPLAY 2

Asalanka gone, Deepak Chahar strikes

Deepak Chahar finally gets the better of a well-set Asalanka. Asalanka tries to nudge it down to the third man and edges one to Ishan Kishan. Chahar gets his 1st wicket.  And Ishan Kishan gets his first catch on his ODI debut. A nice birthday gift by Chahar to Kishan. Score after 38 overs, SL- 169/5

17:42 (IST)18 Jul 2021
Asalanka on the attack!

FOUR, a fine shot by Asalanka!Its the slog sweep which gets the runs as the tossed up delivery by Kuldeep is whacked towards deep mid-wicket. 37 overs in and Sri Lanka are 165/4. 6 runs per over from here gets SL to 243. What do you think they will get to in 50 overs?

17:32 (IST)18 Jul 2021
Time for a drinks!

Sri Lanka playing a lot of dot balls but this approach is going to lead them nowhere. Boundaries have dried up and If they are to challenge this power-packed Indian batting line-up, they will need at least 150 more from here. Will they?

16:57 (IST)18 Jul 2021
Krunal Pandya enters the wicket column!

Dhananjaya de Silva is gone for 14. de Silva lifts the ball and is caught by Bhuvneshwar Kumar at long-off. India have their fourth wicket. Dasun Shanaka, right handed bat, comes to the crease. Score after 25 overs, SL- 117/4

Watch: Kuldeep's second wicket
16:27 (IST)18 Jul 2021
Gone! Kuldeep spins a web

One brings two and Kuldeep gets two in four deliveries. Yadav forces the set Minod Bhanuka (27) to go for a drive but the southpaw edges and Prithvi Shaw takes a good catch at slip. SL - 89/3 in 16.4 overs.

Kuldeep Yadav strikes!

Rajapaksa miscues and a good running catch by the Indian skipper. After showing some promise, that's a shocking shot to get out too. Entirely off balance, absolute slog to a ball so wide. Poor from Rajapaksha. Kuldeep Yadav gets a wicket. Just like Chahal, this wicket will give Kuldeep too much confidence. SL- 85/2

Interesting tid-bit from the broadcasters

What do you think about this?
