Over 18. 7 runs. Bowler: Lahiru Kumara. India: 3-144(rr 8.00)

SIX! Lahiru Kumara to Virat Kohli. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over fine leg for 6 runs. Kohli seals it with a flourish. India have beaten Sri Lanka by 7 wickets in Indore to go 1-0 up in the series. The victory was set up by their bowlers who were outstanding in the first innings. Kuldeep Yadav got the ball to turn appreciably in both directions to bamboozle the tourists while Navdeep Saini generated extreme pace to ruffle some feathers. Sri Lanka's 9-142 never looked like it would be enough and KL Rahul proved it with a fluent 45 in response. The hosts lost a couple of wickets before captain Virat Kohli finished things off with a rapid unbeaten 30 to send the crowd wild.

OUT! Caught. Lahiru Kumara to Shreyas Iyer. Short, outside off stump on the back foot hooking, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg, by Shanaka. Kumara bags a consolation wicket with a vicious bouncer. Iyer went at it hard and picked out the man in the deep. Sri Lanka keep fighting hard but this match is only heading one way.

SIX! Lasith Malinga to Virat Kohli. Short, outside off stump on the back foot hooking, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs. That is Kohli at his best. This is a shot that will come in very useful for him in Australia where there is lots of pace and bounce. All the way for six to cause delirium in the stands.

FOUR! Wanindu Hasaranga to Shreyas Iyer. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed past long on for 4 runs. Dragged with the spin and he finds the gap in the deep. Not the cleanest strike by Iyer but he'll take it.

FOUR! Jasprit Bumrah to Wanindu Hasaranga. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. Sri Lanka have been limited to 9-142 by a superb Indian bowling performance in Indore. Avishka Fernando and Kusal Perera played some delightful shots to get the tourists going but then the hosts took control. Kuldeep Yadav bamboozled with the ball spinning both ways, Navdeep Saini got hearts racing with electric pace and Shardul Thakur nipped in with three wickets in an over at the death. You would think Virat Kohli will be very happy chasing 143, however Sri Lanka will be looking to fight back in the field with early wickets.

Breakthrough for India, Washington holds his nerve with the openers looking to target him in the powerplay. Avishka was trying to clear the infield but couldn't get to the pitch of this delivery and the bat twisted in his hands as he made contact. Well held by Saini with both hands above his head.

Virat Kohli fancies a chase later on so decides to bowl first upon winning the toss and both teams unsurprisingly name unchanged sides.

SIX! Lahiru Kumara to Virat Kohli. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over fine leg for 6 runs. Kohli seals it with a flourish. India have beaten Sri Lanka by 7 wickets in Indore to go 1-0 up in the series. The victory was set up by their bowlers who were outstanding in the first innings. Kuldeep Yadav got the ball to turn appreciably in both directions to bamboozle the tourists while Navdeep Saini generated extreme pace to ruffle some feathers. Sri Lanka's 9-142 never looked like it would be enough and KL Rahul proved it with a fluent 45 in response. The hosts lost a couple of wickets before captain Virat Kohli finished things off with a rapid unbeaten 30 to send the crowd wild.
