OVER 7 | SCORE 38/1 | Tharanga 24, Gunathilaka 12
TEA! Sri Lanka have got runs in the first seven overs. Though Karunaratne's depature is a bad blow, Tharanga and Gunathilaka have done well since then.
OVER 5 | SCORE 20/1 | Tharanga 7, Gunathilaka 11
Five overs gone and Sri Lanka would hope to have Tharanga and Gunathilaka bat through the whole day. We are not far from the TEA break.
OVER 2 | SCORE 7/1 | Tharanga 5, Gunathilaka 0
Umesh Yadav hands Sri Lanka an early blow. Karunaratne departs LBW despite taking DRS. A rather shocking review by the Lankans which might only come back to haunt them.

OVER 125 | SCORE 555/8 | Pandya 29, Shami 19

OVER 110 | SCORE 477/5 | Ashwin 39, Saha 11
Ravichandran Ashwin is showing why he was sent above Wriddhiman Sahan and Hardik Pandya, as continues to progress at spectacular strike rate. Another hundred on the cards?
