OUT! Caught (Sub). Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Lasith Malinga. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket. They will not finish the innings. Kumar gets his five for. Malinga tries to clears the ropes but doesn't get the elevation. Struck quite nicely, but snaffled by the sub, KL Rahul, in the deep.
Should have been so much more for Sri Lanka. They were in a great position to get above 280, but a poor last 15 overs have let them down. They lost the last seven wickets for just 53 runs. It all went downhill once Thirimanne departed
India strong favourites to chase this down and complete a 5-0 series whitewash. See if they can do it after the interval.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Vishwa Fernando. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, thick edge in the air uncontrolled to third man for 1 run, fielded by Bumrah.

FOUR! Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Vishwa Fernando. Half volley, middle stump on the front foot driving, well timed past long on for 4 runs. Handy runs these. Fernando bunts the ball back down the ground and gets enough force behind it to reach the boundary. Highest score by Sri Lanka in this series. Progress.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vishwa Fernando. Length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off for 1 run, fielded by Jadhav.

OUT! Caught. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Milinda Siriwardana. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Thakur. It is all falling apart. Knee high full toss, probably should have been hit out the ground, but Siriwardana chips it down the throat of cow corner. Didn't look like he tried to put all his effort behind that stroke, and was caught well inside the rope. Sri Lanka struggling to finish their innings again.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Milinda Siriwardana. Half volley, middle stump no foot movement pushing, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Kumar.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vishwa Fernando. Short, outside off stump no foot movement, Left to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Dhoni.
OUT! Bowled. Jasprit Bumrah to Malinda Pushpakumara. Full toss, off stump down the track Slog, missed. Pushpakumara charges down, is surprised by the high full toss from Bumrah, and the ball whistles past the swishing bat to demolish the stumps. He is complaining about the height, but it was below waist level, so he has to go.
Jasprit Bumrah to Malinda Pushpakumara. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, hit body to short leg for no runs, fielded by Bumrah.
Jasprit Bumrah to Malinda Pushpakumara. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed to mid wicket for no runs, fielded by Yadav.

SIX! Jasprit Bumrah to Malinda Pushpakumara. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled over deep mid wicket for 6 runs, dropped catch by Thakur. Not ideal for India that. Should have been a wicket, but it will be six runs instead. Hoicked out to deep mid wicket, where Thakur makes a meal of things and shoulders the ball over the rope.
SIX! Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Milinda Siriwardana. Short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. A few more of them please! Siriwardana sparks the crowd back into life with a ginormous hit. Picked up the length quickly and clobbered it into the stands.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Malinda Pushpakumara. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot dropped, to short extra cover for 1 run, shy attempt by Yadav.

OUT! Stumped. Yuzvendra Chahal to Akila Dananjaya. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump down the track pushing, missed to wicketkeeper, by Dhoni. Delightful leg spin bowling there. Chahal floats it up high to draw Akila out of his crease, the ball spins through the gate, and Dhoni mops up by removing the bails. Too good. Suddenly Sri Lanka are going to end up with a below par total.
Wanindu Hasaranga to Virat Kohli. Leg spinner half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Fernando.
India complete their domination of Sri Lanka. 5-0 and it is fully deserved. Buvneshwar Kumar starred with the ball, taking his first five wicket haul. Then Virat Kohli put on a show to notch up his 30th century. The visitors clearly too strong for their opponents. A real shame with the lack of competitiveness in this series. Hopefully that will change in the T20I on Wednesday.
Wanindu Hasaranga to MS Dhoni. Leg spinner back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, to cover for 1 run, fielded by Thirimanne.
OUT! Caught. Wanindu Hasaranga to Kedar Jadhav. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the back foot Late Cut, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Dickwella. That is a high quality grab by the keeper there. Jadhav tries to run it down to third man to pick up the winning runs, but gets a huge outside edge. Incredible catch from Dickwella, as the deflection was massive. All consolation though. Just two more needed.
