Almost another two-hour innings. Abhishek started off like he has often done at this Asia Cup, and he put the SL bowlers to the sword. He rattled along to 61 off 31, and while he was at the crease, it felt India would coast past 200. His dismissal, though, brought about a slight slow-down, until Samson and Tilak began clicking into gear. The former found more rhythm than the latter, but Tilak did end up with an unbeaten 49, with Axar also popping up with a handy cameo towards the end.

It was another disappointing outing with the bat for India's skipper, though. He struggled for timing and looked scratchier than usual. Hardik also could not get going. Most of Sri Lanka's bowlers also endured a tough evening, and that means they now have to chase down a score in excess of 200.

Another excellent batting performance by India. They have posted the first 200+ total of the competition. Abhishek Sharma was once again the backbone of the innings as he got them off to a flier and notched up his third fifty in a row. He added a 50+ stand with SKY but the pair departed soon after the powerplay. Samson and Tilak then got together and kept the tempo going. The pair stitched another 50+ partnership to ensure India have a solid base in the final 5 overs. Tilak batted through and Axar's little cameo got India over the 200-mark. Sri Lanka were brilliant in the field but not so much with the ball and they will need to be at their best to chase this down. Back soon with their reply..

0.1 Hardik Pandya to Nissanka, FOUR, fine shot to get off the mark. A short of length delivery just outside off, Nissanka goes on the back foot and cuts between backward point and point, even SKY is impressed, he has a wry smile on his face

0.4 W

Hardik to Kusal Mendis, OUT

nicked and taken at slip! Mendis departs for a first-ball duck yet again!

Kusal Mendis c Shubman Gill b Pandya 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Chikna hath wala Gill Is bar butter nai lagaya (sehwag),got the catch

Sandeep Panda: "This the first time any team scored more than 200 in this tournament" -- That just emphasizes the enormity of Sri Lanka's task.
