He’s given out initially but the visitors review this. Ball tracking shows the ball is missing leg-stump, and the decision is reversed. Asalanka survives!

Third ball in Bumrah’s over, the bowlers is ecstatic after cleaning up Nissanka, but guess what? It’s a no-ball! Nissanka survives, costly for Bumrah. Nissanka is in some kind of trouble, and receiving help from the physio. He’s been hit on the gloves twice this over, and that should really hurt him. Anyway, he’s set to go again just moments later.

After 14 overs,Sri Lanka 39/0 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 23 , Lahiru Thirimanne 13)

India bring up their 550. Four leg byes to stat off Embuldeniya’s over with, and just two balls later, Jadeja unleashes the maximum over deep midwicket.

After 126 overs,India 545/8 ( Ravindra Jadeja 161 , Mohammed Shami 11)
Fernando continues. There is a huge confusion among the Lankan players. Shami almost completes a second run but Jadeja sends him back and Jadeja runs to the non-strikers’ end. Fernando is not aware of any of this, and he hits the stumps at his end after collecting the throw. Keeper Dickwella seems miffed. Comedy of errors there! 12 runs from that over. Embuldeniya returns to deliver the next over. Shami collects a boundary as six runs come from Embuldeniya’s over.
After 124 overs,India 527/8 ( Ravindra Jadeja 153 , Mohammed Shami 1)
Lakmal continues. Jadeja is playing smart cricket, trying to give Shami as much as little strike as possible. Two runs from the over. Time for players to take a drinks break.
