OUT! It’s already turning into a procession and we’re still in Powerplay 1! Karunaratne ends up slicing the ball to Shubman Gill at slip off a wide, length delivery from Siraj, and departs without making much impact! Excellent catch by Gill, who had a fraction of a second to react to that! SL 25/3

After 7 overs,Sri Lanka 25/2 ( Dimuth Karunaratne 2 , Sadeera Samarawickrama 0)

OUT! Superb work by Bumrah as he foxes Mendis with the slower ball while bowling it full and outside wide. Mendis was looking to drive it through the covers, but ended up chipping it to substitute fielder Suryakumar Yadav at extra cover thanks to the change in pace. Umpires had a bit of doubt over whether the ball hand bumped off the pitch before flying to the fielder. The Indians as well as the batter however, knew it was out. SL 25/2

Second maiden for Siraj in three overs, with Karunaratne continuing to tread cautiously. The southpaw has consumed 17 deliveries for just two singles so far. Run rate a little over three at the moment.

FOUR! Thick outside edge off Mendis’ bat sends the ball flying over the slip cordon and away to the third man fence. Second boundary for the Sri Lankan No 3 in as many overs. Big appeal for LBW by Bumrah later in the over, but is turned down by the umpire. Had pitched well outside off on the occasion.

FOUR! Superbly timed flick by wicketkeeper-batter Kusal Mendis, who joins Karunaratne at the crease, off a full delivery from Siraj that is aimed at the pads. Ishan Kishan gives the ball a spirited chase, and receives an applause from the bowler for his effort even if he is unsuccessful in preventing the boundary. Four singles collected besides the boundary, with eight coming off Siraj's second over.
