Shanaka to Jaiswal, FOUR, Jaiswal gets going with a boundary. Fraction short and Jaiswal is quick to latch on, he pulls it in front of square and the outfield is quick enough as the ball races to the fence
The Sri Lankan players are ready and waiting near the rope, so is Jaiswal. The powerplay will be for 2 overs. A bowler can bowl a maximum of 2 overs. Equation for India - 72 runs | 45 balls.
22:26 Local Time, 16:56 GMT, 22:26 IST: The umpires conducted an inspection a few minutes ago. They have conveyed their observations to the two teams.
22:17 Local Time, 16:47 GMT, 22:17 IST: The rain has stopped and the covers are coming off, hopefully for the last time. Suryakumar is still padded up and he walks down to the dugout from the dressing room to have a chat with Gambhir.
22:01 Local Time, 16:31 GMT, 22:01 IST: Looks like the covers are back on.
21:55 Local Time, 16:25 GMT, 21:55 IST: The covers are being removed.
21:38 Local Time, 16:08 GMT, 21:38 IST: The intensity has already reduced. It seems to have stopped or it just a drizzle.
21:35 Local Time, 16:05 GMT, 21:35 IST: There is a sudden burst of rain and it has caught the groundstaff off-guard.

Shanaka to Jaiswal, FOUR, lovely shot! Fullish delivery angled across, Jaiswal leans forward and creams the drive wide of mid-off. Asalanka dives but he cannot make the stop. The skipper had to do better there

Shanaka to Jaiswal, 2 runs, to mid-wicket
0.1
Shanaka to Jaiswal, no run, 121ks good length ball with a hint of inswing, Jaiswal misses the flick and is struck on the pad down leg
Jaiswal and Samson are at the crease. Jaiswal is on strike. Shanaka will open the attack
Welcome back.. There is assistance for the spinners and Sri Lanka have three of them. Can they make an impact? India have a new opening pair. It is Samson opening the batting with Jaiswal. Shanaka didn't bowl a single over in the last game but he has the new ball. He's ready and so is Jaiswal.

Axar to Ramesh Mendis, out Stumped!! Smart bowling from Axar! Sees the batter step out of his ground, bowls it slower and wider. Mendis has a wild swing and misses by a long way. Pant collects it cleanly, waits for the batter to look back and then gently dislodges the bails. Ramesh Mendis st Pant b Axar 12(10) [6s-1]
Axar to Ramesh Mendis, THATS OUT!! Stumped!!

Axar to Ramesh Mendis, no run, 90kph, Ramesh Mendis tries to repeat the shot he played off the previous ball and misses to get hit on the back leg. LBW appeal turned down and India review it. Over to ball-tracking and it's missing leg with the angle
