After 13 overs,India 121/1 ( Ishan Kishan (W) 71, Shreyas Iyer 4)
FOUR! Vandersay is unlucky. Kishan looks to turn a googly to the leg side but gets an inside edge between the keeper's leg for a streaky FOUR.
After 12 overs,India 112/1 ( Ishan Kishan (W) 65 , Shreyas Iyer 1)
A really good over from Kumara. He concentrated on bowling slower and got the wicket of Rohit. 6 runs and a wicket off the over.
OUT! Kumara cleans up Rohit and finally breaks the 111-run opening stand. It's the slower one, on off, it keeps low. Rohit stays in his crease and looks to swing across the line but misses, finds his stumps shattered.
Kumara back into the attack
After 11 overs,India 106/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 43 , Ishan Kishan (W) 61)
100 up for India. Some good placements by Kishan and equally good fielding in the deep as well from the Sri Lankans. Kishan sweeps one and lofts one and gets twos off both shots as the Lankan fielders save four runs off two balls. Four more singles make it 8 off the over.
Ishan Kishan seems to be in a bit of discomfort. He's been attended to by the physio.
Jayawickrama back into the attack ....
