It's raining heavily in Colombo. Ground is covered. The delay could be quite long.
16:51 (IST)
Live scores: India vs Sri Lanka. India 147 for 3 in 23 overs. RAIN STOPS PLAY. Sharp spell of rain here and the players walk off. Covers coming in. Good thing about SL is they cover plenty of portions of the ground. Let's hope rain goes away quickly.
16:47 (IST)
Live scores: India vs Sri Lanka. India 142 for 3 in 22 overs. Suryakumar is in the form of his life. Some terrific strokes already in his first 12 balls, and he's given out to Jayawickrama in the next ball. But a review saves him. Plenty of time for the technology to show up, but the impact was outside off. Some drama there as SL thought he was out on review, but he wasn't.
16:27 (IST)
India vs Sri Lanka live: India 118 for 3 in 18.4 overs. WICKET - Sanju Samson c Fernando b Jayawickrama 46 (46). Another batsman out in the 40s. To a good shot. Skips down the track and plays the inside out lofted drive, but they've got extra cover at the ring. Good catch - just didn't get the elevation, Samson. A decent knock on ODI debut ends.
16:12 (IST)
Live scores: India vs Sri Lanka. India 102 for 2 in 15.5 overs. WICKET - Prithvi Shaw lbw Shanaka 49 (49). Shuffles across and misses a flick. Uses up a review too. Would have been Shaw's maiden half-century, but not to be. Important breakthrough for Sri Lanka.
16:07 (IST)
Live scores: India vs Sri Lanka. India 101 for 1 in 15 overs. Prithvi Shaw is on fire. Takes the debutant spinner Jayawickrama for three fours in an over to guide India past 100. He's closing in on a half century. India have the base for a big total.
15:52 (IST)
India vs Sri Lanka live: India 71 for 1 in 11 overs. Sanju Samson is switching gears now. He has hit the spinner for a straight six and now pulls Karunaratne for four. Sadly, the pull shot hit a crow along the way. Fortunately, it's fine.
15:37 (IST)
India vs Sri Lanka live: India 52 for 1 in 7 overs. Dhawan might have gone early but Prithvi Shaw is playing some sensational strokes. Sri Lanka attacking him with some short pitched bowling too. Good battle going on, even as Sanju Samson settles down.
15:25 (IST)
Lovely scenes from earlier in the day. One of the debutants, Sanju Samson, is batting now.

15:15 (IST)
Live score India vs Sri Lanka: India 28-1 in 2.3 overs. WICKET - Shikhar Dhawan c Bhanuka b Chameera 13 (11). Quick start, early wicket. Action continues. Full and outside off, Dhawan plays a flashy drive and nicks behind. Good bowling.
15:12 (IST)
India vs Sri Lanka live: India 23 for 0 in 2 overs. Action packed over, that. Three boundaries in the first three balls to Shikhar Dhawan. And then, two lbw appeals, both not outs. One was a review wasted by Sri Lanka too. It's all happening.
15:06 (IST)
India vs Sri Lanka live score: India 11/1 in 1 over. A costly over from Chameera to start the game. Includes five wides, so that's just not on in the first over. And Sri Lanka bring spin immediately. Akila Dananjaya in.
14:56 (IST)
In utter defiance of backlash that his CSK colleague Suresh Raina faced for calling himself a Brahmin, Ravindra Jadeja polarised fans even further with his tweet where he called himself a ‘proud Rajput boy.’ His tweet comes at a time when his teammate Raina is facing the heat from the fans who believed that cast must be kept away from cricket.
14:48 (IST)
Were India right in making so many changes? As many as five players made their debut today but it needs to be seen whether that impact the result? Remember, India are 2-0 up and didn't have anything at stake here and that showed in the decision.
14:40 (IST)
With vice-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar making it clear that there are no fitness issues with Hardik Pandya, the flamboyant Baroda player and his brother all-rounder Krunal are expected to play. There are times when every player does not want to rest and play each game, but the team management would need to consider the workload of the bowlers, as they are playing six matches in just 12 days in humid Sri Lankan conditions.
14:37 (IST)
The news from the middle is: that Dhawan has won the toss and opted to bat first in Colombo.
Five players make their ODI debuts today:
Sanju Samson
Chetan Sakariya
Nitish Rana
Rahul Chahar
K Gowtham
Navdeep Saini also comes into the XI.
14:31 (IST)
India are set to play five debutantes for this one. It was on the cards especially as India were 2-0 up.
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd ODI at Colombo: Shikhar Dhawan fell early. Sanju Samson and Prithvi Shaw kept them going with 40s, but both got out in quick succession as SL fought back. However, rain stopped play with India 147 for 3.
India coach Rahul Dravid will have to choose between experimenting and continuing the winning combination in his bid to ensure a clean sweep against Sri Lanka in the third and final one-dayer here on Friday. While Shikhar Dhawan-led India won the first game by seven wickets, Deepak Chahar pulled a heist in the second one with his match-winning unbeaten 69 as the visitors won by three wickets.
Now, it remains to be seen whether India continue with Prithvi Shaw, who got scores of 43 and 13, to partner the skipper at the top, or go in for classy Devdutt Padikkal or an equally elegant Ruturaj Gaikwad — both superb List A players. If Shaw gets another opportunity, he would be more than keen to get a big score, as he failed to convert his start in the first game.
Another dilemma for the team management would be whether to persist with aggressive Ishan Kishan or give an opportunity to Sanju Samson, another hard-hitting batsman, to make his ODI debut. The likes of Manish Pandey and ever-improving Suryakumar Yadav are certain to maintain their places as the duo are the middle-order backbone.
