Nuwan Thushara to Abhishek Sharma, no run

appeal for LBW.

Harshit Rana to Shanaka, 2 runs

folks we have a Super Over! Strap yourselves in. This is going to be fun. Always a two as Shanaka totally mistimed the big hit, was a length delivery and seam-up on middle, rolls to long-on and Harshit Rana wants the throw there, Axar charges in and fumbles, Shanaka wanted to complete the 2nd and dives, he did not know there was a chance for a third. He is down on the floor, Janith Liyanage wants the third, the throw comes into Harshit Rana and he fumbles. Had Shanaka not been on the floor, he might well have come back for the third. Instead we now have a Super Over. India lucky to get away with that there as both Axar and Harshit fumbled

Harshit Rana to Shanaka, FOUR

full outside off, seam-up, Shanaka throws the bat at that and the thick outside-edge clears short third man, runs away for four. That's the boundary they need

Harshit Rana to Nissanka, out Caught by Varun Chakaravarthy!! A wicket first ball and Nissanka can't believe he has found short fine-leg. Harshit Rana is pumped meanwhile. Nissanka stands outside off even as the ball is heading to middle

full and he shovel-flicks well, but straight to Varun's face, he does well to reverse-cup it. That was travelling and either side would have been four. Nissanka knew the field and just the execution failed him there. What a knock though.

Arshdeep Singh to Shanaka, FOUR

doesn't end the over well. A juicy low full-toss outside off, right there to be smashed out of the ground, but Shanaka doesn't time it, gets it over mid-on and a desperate chase and dive from Rinku is not enough. The ball touches the cushions before he pulls it back

Arshdeep Singh to Shanaka, wide

Axar to Shanaka, SIX

the power of Shanaka. A back of a length delivery on middle, Shanaka goes on the back foot and pulls, Tilak at deep mid-wicket was in the game, but it just clears him. He is now walking off, holding his left hammy, the physio takes him off the field, worries for India

Axar to Nissanka, 1 run

Arshdeep Singh to Nissanka, SIX

This is a half-volley outside off, Nissanka stands deep in his crease, belts it flat and straight down the ground, such a clean hit, tremendous knock this, but now he has to take his side home

Arshdeep Singh to Shanaka, 1 run

brilliant stop by Kuldeep at backward point to his left. He loses his footing and that allows Shanaka to get away. Kuldeep was ready to throw to Arshdeep Singh but was off-balance and that crucial second or two saves Shanaka, he charges across

Arshdeep Singh to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Axar!! Now Kamindu Mendis goes. A knuckle-ball again. Off-pace and on a length on off

Kuldeep Yadav to Kamindu Mendis, no run

another LBW appeal and again an inside-edge on to the pad. The flipper and it skids on rapdily, superbly bowled, Kamindu Mendis doesn't pick it, he goes on the back foot and only the inside-edge saves him. Again Kuldeep Yadav is interested but SKY comes to him, has an arm around his shoulder and has a chat

Kuldeep Yadav to Nissanka, 1 run

googly on a length just outside off, Nissanka makes room slightly and dabs it square of the wicket on the off-side for one

Kuldeep Yadav to Asalanka, out Caught by Gill!! Straight to long-on and Asalanka's struggle is over. It's tossed up full on middle and off

Varun Chakaravarthy to Asalanka, no run

Axar to Nissanka, 3 runs

very sloppy from Arshdeep and the camera pans to the fielding coach T Dilip. He wears a stony look on his face. Was short and wide outside off, Nissanka reaches for it to cut it wide of extra-cover, Arshdeep covers ground to his right from sweeper cover and then fumbles while trying to pick it up, the ball slips away and two turns into three, went with one hand and the ball hit the left leg and rolled away. Immediately Arshdeep puts his hand up to apologise

Axar to Nissanka, FOUR

back of a length and Nissanka is so quick, he goes on the back foot and pulls, two bounces and over the ropes at deep square-leg, Axar grimaces, that was not a bad ball, but Nissanka is in such form and is able to pick the length so quickly

Axar to Asalanka, 1 run

on a length outside the leg-stump, Asalanka gets forward and helps it down to deep backward square-leg

Harshit Rana to Nissanka, SIX

too many slower-balls and Harshit Rana gets tonked. The Car at deep mid-wicket takes a beating too. Lands flush on it. That would leave a dent for sure.

that has scorched to the deep backward point fence. What hands. Fast hands and it has been cut like a rapier. A short of length delivery outside off, Kusal Perera flays the cut and it speeds to the fence. Bowled at 144 clicks and it probably left the bat at 200 clicks

that's the response from Nissanka after the last ball shenanigans. He comes down the track and takes the slower-ball on a length, mows across the line and the ball meets the middle of the bat and flies over deep mid-wicket. Sanath Jayasuriya is thrilled as he has a big smile on his face. Not sure Harshit Rana had a stare this time, he was quickly back to his bowling mark. That's a shot of intent and a statement of sorts - if you give some lip, this is what you will get

Harshit Rana to Nissanka, no run

length delivery just outside off, Nissanka gets forward and drives it back to Harshit Rana who collects and hurls it back vigorously at the batter, just misses Nissanka and the stumps. A staring match ensues

Harshit Rana to Nissanka, no run

clonked on the helmet. That has thudded into the protective equipment. Immediately there's a break in play as the physio is out for the concussion test.

stutter from Kusal Perera mid-pitch but the throw goes to the other end. Rinku the sub for Pandya, hits Nissanka. A slower-ball off-cutter and full on off, Kusal gets forward to drive wide of cover and for some reason, he stopped mid-pitch after setting off promptly

Hardik Pandya to Kusal Perera, no run

India lose a review. Only that it pitched outside the leg-stump, that's what saved Kusal Perera. Otherwise this was pretty adjacent. Length and pitches outside the leg-stump, Kusal Perera misses the defence and is rapped on the pads. India got together and then SKY went for it with 3 seconds to go

length and moving away well outside off, Kusal Mendis follows with his hands away from the body, the thick outside-edge flies to the wide slip and Gill makes no mistake to his right as he takes it with two hands. That was a nothing shot from Kusal. Hardik Pandya strikes in his opening over.
