18.5

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, 1 run, slower delivery outside off stump, Dickwella chases and gets an inside edge that rolls towards the keeper. Mendis rushes and dives, makes his ground before Dhoni's under-arm throw crossed the sticks

18.4

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, shortish and outside off stump, Dickwella cuts it to point

18.4

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, wide, that's way outside off stump, Hardik Pandya is livid with himself for bowling a wide

18.3

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, short delivery, Dickwella sways out, Dhoni and the bowler appeal for a catch, but the ball touched the grille en route to the keeper. Dhoni then suggests to the bowler that the ball hit the helmet

18.2

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, 2 runs, nicely guided away fine towards third man. Kedar Jadhav dives and tries to save a run, looks like his back foot may have been touching the rope when he was in contact with the ball. The third umpire is convinced that it was a four

18.1

Hardik Pandya to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, good length delivery outside off stump, Mendis guides it to third man

9.6

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, dances in the crease again. Pandya does not deter, keeps it on middle and leg. Dickwella is forced to pat to cover

9.5

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, 1 run, slower through the air. Gunathilaka works into the on-side for a single

9.5

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, wide, hurled down leg on a shortish length

9.4

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, no run, makes room and tries it slap it over the bowler. All he can do is meekly tap back to the bowler

9.3

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, 1 run, clears the front leg but the line is outside off. Reaches out and pats it horizontally towards cover-point

9.2

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, short ball. Dickwella goes for the pull, is a bit late on it and hits in the air. Fortunately for him it fell in front of the fielder at square leg

9.1

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, fuller ball. Dickwella toe-ends the jam to the keeper on the bounce

7.6

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, 1 run, Pandya falls back to the slower one. Gunathilaka waits and defends towards cover-point for a quick change of ends

7.5

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, no run, waits in the crease and dabs to the man at 45 on the off-side

7.4

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, FOUR, this is better. Much more confident. Got the length he wanted and then shuffled a bit to pull through mid-wicket. The best one so far

7.3

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, FOUR, finally it pays off. The flirt with the danger has paid off. Gunathilaka makes room and cuts it past backward point. Races to the fence

7.2

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, 1 run, whips off the legs to fine leg for another easy single

7.1

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, 1 run, tucked to short fine leg for a quick single

5.6

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, no run, width on offer and Gunathilaka does most things right with the cut. But KL Rahul at backward point is agile enough to dive to his left and save the boundary

5.5

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, 1 run, on the middle and leg. Dickwella moves into the crease and works to fine leg

5.4

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, stays in the crease and tucks into the on-side

5.3

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, FOUR, all those dance moves and Dickwella finally has a four. Shuffled across and then made room but was cramped for room as Pandya followed. Dickwella, then, just tried to force away from the body and got an inside edge that ran to the fine leg fence for his second boundary

5.2

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, 1 run, Gunathilaka is indicating that he might just be trying too much. Moves leg-side and can only dab to third man for a single

5.1

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, no run, bouncer. Gunathilaka happily sits under it

3.6

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, rises awkwardly and takes the glove on the tuck. Hits him somewhere on the body and rolls on the pitch. No harm done

3.5

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, short of a good length ball on the stumps. Dickwella gets across and works to mid-wicket

3.4

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, stays leg-side to this back of a length delivery and taps to backward point

3.3

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, very full ball. Slower as well. Dickwella jams back to the bowler

3.2

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, this is better. On middle and off and with the angle across, this might just go away. Dickwella is wary of that, defends back to the bowler

3.1

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, 1 run, Pandya continues to be on middle and leg. With fine leg in the deep, that can save boundaries but won't fetch him wickets. Single to fine leg this time

1.6

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, no run, right on money this time. Perhaps the second best ball of the over. Gunathilaka gets across in the crease and defends back to Pandya

1.5

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, no run, on middle and leg. Gunathilaka gets across a bit and keeps out to mid-wicket

1.5

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, wide, down leg. 'Good pace, good carry,' says Sunny Gavaskar. Of what use though?

1.4

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, FOUR, first four of the Lankan innings and it comes on a freebie. Was on the legs of Gunathilaka and on a fuller length. He flicked it aerially but past the man at mid-wicket

1.3

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, 2 runs, just too straight to cause any worry to Gunathilaka. Easily worked through square leg

1.2

Hardik Pandya to Gunathilaka, no run, nice delivery. Scrambled seam and leaves the batsman just outside off, teasing his outside edge on the way

1.1

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, 1 run, awkward bounce on the leg-stump. Dickwella takes the bottom hand off the bat and tucks behind square on the on-side
