- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.5 Six or out? Out! Deep-backward square ran in and took a low catch while diving forward. Bowler signals I'm here. Full ball on the pads, pick-up flick with decent timing but the boundary is big. Viyaskanth may have misjudged it at first but got to the line and adjusted to the height nicely. Two catches for him now. Both openers fall in the space of an over. 136/28.5 No hundred for Sooryavanshi! He gets a pat on the back from Dickwella, then lifts his helmet and walks off as Arachchige and Co celebrate. Sooryavanshi made room and got followed by a flightless ball, looked to go over cover again. Overhit it, bat turned and he found mid-off's bread basket 132/127.3 bowled behind his legs! What a bizarre way to go. Gaikwad goes too far across to try and whip it square on the leg side, but ends up missing the ball altogether. The ball brushed his trousers and deflected onto the stumps. Another flourishing partnership broken, Gaikwad will be livid with himself. 220/340.1 no timing, and he's dragged this slog sweep straight down Avishka Fernando's throat at deep midwicket. A painstaking innings this from Tilak, had to keep fighting. Lacked fluency for much of the knock, and an ugly hoick in the end has gobbled him up to leave two new batters at the crease. 285/539.1 Might've pitched outside leg... given out! Length ball from around the wicket, may have landed in line with leg, we don't know, no ball-tracking or reviews. Kushagra went across for the reverse sweep, showed leg stump while missing it. Got hit in front of middle 283/441.3 Bowled round the legs! Keeper screams in delight and the umpire sends it upstairs. Full ball down leg. Shedge got down while staying in his crease and missed the sweep. It seemed to go off his shoe onto the stumps. No, it's just turn, offspinner turned it like a leggie. One replay's enough to give it out. India are squandering their massive early advantage 289/646.4 Chat doesn't work, Sindhu falls. Sahan's pace is what undid him. It was full. Slot ball. But quick enough to rush Sindhu as he tried to loft an on drive. Finds long-on, who comes forward and takes a low catch 330/747.2 Vipraj's cameo is over. Cleared the front leg and lofted the full ball with the bat finishing around his shoulder. Opened the face a touch, got decent timing but long-off ran left and took it a few metres in the ropes. 140 for 0 in 10 overs might end with a sub-350 total 334/850 Very full angling in, Anukul has a close-faced swipe across the legs. Misses and is hit on the back leg in front of middle.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 flattens Dickwella's leg-stump! Backs away to try and manufacture room to slap that over cover, but is beaten by sharp inward movement with the angle as the stumps take a walk. 33/23 there's the early breakthrough. Credit to Thakur, gets this ball to move away a hint appreciably as Avishka gets a leading edge that flies to the deep slip fielder Gaikwad who tumbles over to take a good catch. Avishka was looking to work this through with a angled bat but the sharp away movement meant the ball flew off the leading edge. 28/19.3 oh dear, what has he done? This is full and angling into the pads and Nuwanidu has flicked this straight down Vipraj's throat at long leg. Not the kind of delivery that deserved a wicket, but Thakur will take the any which way they come. Looked like Nuwanidu got that towards the toe end, which meant there was no timing. Simple catch on the boundary. 75/318 Keeper throws the ball up... and it's given caught behind. Sharma prays in celebration. Shortish ball but not enough room for the cut. Angle kept coming in and Samarawickrama took a small hop leg side while trying to go square. Thin nick to the keeper 128/425.1 Captain gets captain. Arachchige does in fact try to take on Tilak and finds backward point. Fullish and a touch slow, stance changed and big reverse sweep played. Ball went off the upper-half to the fielder's left. Tilak's pumped 177/620.2 Should have been four more but it's caught at cover. Loopy legbreak just outside off, driven hard and off the middle but straight to Tilak in the infield. He took it around the middle of his chest while hopping a touch 149/541.4 that's the end of Wanuja's enterprise. Looks to repeat the reverse sweep, but Vipraj tosses this up on middle and leg, it meant he had to fetch it from outside leg-stump. Ended up getting a top-edge as Tilak takes a dolly. 284/836.5 you saw the big shot coming and it's cost Viyaskanth. The two boys from Samastipur combine to pick up a wicket. Nicely tossed up, Viyaskanth had premeditated the slog sweep and top-edges it as he has to fetch it from outside off, ends up getting a lot of height on it but the top-edge swirls around and Sooryavanshi nicely pouches it at midwicket. 254/747.1 Diving catch wins the series for India A. Teaser of a ball. Lobbed around a back of length outside off. Shiraz was on the back foot, got square-on and reached out to try and pull it across. Top edged it to backward point 311/1044.5 Top-edged sweep carries to the keeper this time. Full ball outside off, looked to drag it across with a slog sweep. Balloons to short fine leg.
