Commentary

48.5W
Asitha Fernando to Prasidh Krishna, out Caught by Lahiru Kumara!! In the air, and taken! India have been bowled out for 193, and Sri Lanka need to chase 372 in the final innings. Another short delivery from Asitha Fernando from round the wicket, and Prasidh Krishna, after giving himself room, attempts the pull but miscues it high in the air. Kumara settles underneath it nicely at mid-on and takes the catch. Prasidh Krishna c Lahiru Kumara b Asitha Fernando 2(7)

Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, out Caught by Niroshan Dickwella!! Has Dhruv Jurel gloved it? They're very confident and they've reviewed as Sharfuddoula Saikat shook his head. Banged in short and sliding down leg, Dhruv Jurel was shaping for the pull - there's a deflection, but it does look like it came off the thigh-pad. Onto UltraEdge and there's a small spike when the ball is next to the bat. OUT is the call and Sri Lanka continue to chip away. An excellent review and India have lost half their side now - was short and down leg, the pull was on, but Jurel just manages a tiny inside edge, flicked the thigh-pad and went through to the keeper.
