    5.6 bowled him. Wobble seam works. Siraj's favourite toy. They have seen the ball is not swinging, and feel confident to drive on the up and through the line. Avishka looks for the big cover-drive, but the wobble-seam delivery pitches and nips back in to take the inside edge onto the stumps 29/1
    21.1 excellent fielding creates confusion and a wicket. Use of feet from Nuwanidu once more. Flicks it uppishly to Gill's right at midwicket. He dives full length but it bounces just short of him. But he not only stops but also fires in the throw to the keeper. Nuwanidu was three-fourths of the way down when Asalanka sent him back. Both batters were ball-watching. He could have never made it back 118/4
    16.6 87.1kph. Given lbw but Mendis has reviewed it straightaway. It was a wrong'un, pitching around middle and spinning away just enough to beat the outside edge. It hit Mendis high on the back leg, no inside edge. The ball-tracking shows it would have clipped the off bail. So it's umpire's call - Sri Lanka retain their review but Mendis will have to walk back. Kuldeep has struck in his very first over 102/2
    17.2 and he departs for a first-ball duck. Full on stumps, kept coming in with the arm. Dhananjaya went for a drive, leaving the gap between bat and pad. The ball sneaked through that, brushing the pad before ricocheting into middle and off stump 103/3
    24.2 that's a soft dismissal. Tossed up at 84.7kph, a wrong'un slightly fuller than good length. Asalanka pushes at it but isn't to the pitch of the ball. Ends up chipping it back to the bowler 126/6
    22.5 bowled around his legs, 79.5kph says the speedgun. It was full on the middle stump. Shanaka moved across to sweep it fine but exposed his leg stump in the process. Missed the sweep, the ball brushing his pads before going on to uproot the leg stump 125/5
    27.5 Umran does exactly what he was brought on for. A length ball around off at 145.3kph. Hasaranga is deep inside his crease and pushes at it. Fails to keep it down and it's an easy catch for Axar at backward point 152/7
    39.2 another catch for Axar at backward point. That's three today. This time on the other side of the field. Wellalage times this punch superbly, but it flies straight to backward point for a catch. Sharp catch as it is flying at him 215/9
    33.6 and Malik's attacking fields work. That punch shot at this high pace is not easy to control. A second similar dismissal for Malik today. Short of a length, not much room, he punches at it, but can't keep it down. Axar dives to his left at point to take the catch. As Gavaskar says on air, this has travelled so fast it looks like a slip catch 177/8

    39.4 full, straight, and often it does for Nos 11. Cross-seam, full, quick, gets the inside edge onto the pad and then the ricochet into the stumps 215/10

    4.6 outside edge and Mendis takes a regulation catch. Was a length ball outside off, Rohit looked to punch it through covers but it was too close to him. Ended up just pushing at it 33/1
    5.3 142.1kph. Short of length around off, Gill plays that half pull but ends up hitting straight to Avishka Fernando at short midwicket 41/2

    9.3 bowled 'im! Kolkata has been silenced. Hands over head in the crowd. A length ball that came in sharply. Kohli was stuck on the crease. Looks to defend awkwardly and gets an inside edge onto the stumps. Kumara roars in celebration 62/3
    14.2 celebrappeal from Rajitha. And the finger goes up. Full on middle and leg. Iyer goes for the drive but misses and gets hit on the front pad. He doesn't hesitate in reviewing this but it looked so out. It pitched on off, hit him in front of middle and leg and would have clipped the leg stump. Umpire's call on stumps, so India at least don't lose their review 86/4

    34.1 edged and taken. A length ball outside off, Hardik pushes at it and gets a thick outside edge to the keeper's right. Mendis takes it comfortably 161/5
    39.5 excellent catch by Chamika Karunaratne. It was full around off, Axar wanted to go inside out but ends up hitting it slightly straighter. Karunaratne runs to his right from long-off and puts in the slide to complete the catch 191/6
