Nuwan Pradeep to Dinesh Karthik. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot Steer, to third man for 1 run, fielded by Perera.
India go top of the table after a comfortable victory. They were wobbling slightly in pursuit of 153 after Akila Dananjaya reduced them to 22-2. Manish Pandey (42) and Dinesh Khathik (39) then took them home from 85-4. Sri Lanka will rue not posting more than 152 after an excellent start. Join us again on Wednesday for India in action again as they take on Bangladesh.
