FOUR! Third boundary of the over for Gill as he once again capitalises on a bit of width offered by Kami, smacking it well in front of square. Kami, though, finishes with a outswinger that beats Gill’s blade. 12 off the over. Meanwhile, it's drizzling again in Pallekele and the ground staff are ready at the edge of the playing area with the covers in hand.

After 1 over,India 1/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 0 , Shubman Gill 0)

What a first over from Karan, challenging Rohit — one of the greatest batters of this generation — multiple times in the first over! Starts off with a wide first up, but manages to beat Rohit’s inside edge for an LBW shout three balls later, with Nepal skipper Paudel going for the review. HawkEye shows the ball going down leg, resulting in the Rhinos burning a review in the very first over. Two balls after Karan bowls a beauty of an out-swinger to Rohit which narrowly beats his outside edge. Rohit decides to step down the track in the final ball, though he doesn’t quite collect a run. Just one from an entertaining first over!

Right then, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill make their way to the centre, hoping to put up a much-better opening stand than what they had managed against Pakistan the other day. 231 won’t be a cakewalk, especially against an attack that had dismissed the Pakistan openers cheaply.

Rohit's on strike with seamer Karan KC set to bowl the first over.
