21:02 (IST) Jul 29

India 53/5 after 14 overs

Five runs in the over from Akila Dananjaya as India crawl past the 50-run mark. Final six overs to go. Can Bhuvneshwar Kumar produce something special to give India even a slight chance in this contest? He has Kuldeep Yadav with him in the middle at the moment.

20:54 (IST) Jul 29

Another top class over from Akila Dananjaya. Just one run came off it. Pacer Chamika Karunaratne now comes back into the attack for Sri Lanka.

End of Powerplay | India 29/4

A horrible first 30 minutes for India in this series decider! They have lost all of their four top order batsmen in the first six overs. Remember, India only have five recognized batsmen in their line-up. A terrific bowling effort from Sri Lanka, especially Wanindu Hasaranga.

Samson is caught napping | India 3 down

Another disappointing effort from Sanju Samson. A three-ball duck for him, this time. Misses a straight delivery from Wanindu Hasaranga and is trapped right in front of the stumps. India in big trouble early in this decider. IND 24/3 after 4.4 overs.

20:19 (IST) Jul 29

Padikkal run out!

Huge mix up between Devdutt Padikkal and Ruturaj Gaikwad and that has resulted in a horrible run out. Padikkal misses his sweep off Ramesh Mendis but runs straightaway, not realising where the ball went. Ruturaj is very late to say no as Padikkal was half way down the pitch. He has to return back but fails to get back to his crease in time. Unfortunate for Padikkal as he walks back for 9.

20:17 (IST) Jul 29

Mendis to Gaikwad | FOUR!

Ruturaj Gaikwad sweeps Ramesh Mendis in style to pick up his second boundary. Outside leg from Mendis and Gaikwad hits it over the short fine-leg fielder to collect four more runs. IND 19/1 after 3.3 overs.

20:10 (IST) Jul 29

India 12/1 after 2 overs

Seven runs including a boundary on the first over from Chamika Karunaratne. Dushmantha Chameera to continue for Sri Lanka from the other end.
