India

118/4(26.4 Overs)

We are back. The players are out in the middle. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul to open for India. Pat Cummins to start with the ball. 

...SECOND INNINGS...

Now then, Around 10 overs remaining. India will hope to end the day without losing any wickets. The openers need to give a good start. Australia on the other hand have their skipper as the only seamer. The others need to support him.

India were superb with the ball as well. This pitch has more turn than we saw at Nagpur. The start wasn't that good but they had their moments. Shami started the attack and then Ashwin got two wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith in one over. There was a period where the bowlers looked tired but Shami once again came up with his magic and ended with four wickets. While Ashwin-Jadeja ended with 6 together. 

Not quite sure who will be the happier side right now. Of course, Australia would have hoped for more runs but from around 168 for 6, they will take this score. Credit to Handscomb for the way he played. He looked so composed out there. It was very easy for him to bat on while others struggled. His stand with his skipper was very crucial but in the end, Handscomb ran out of partners. Australia were off to a watchful start with Usman Khawaja playing a big role. He scored a brilliant 81 and

...Day 1, Session 3...

India will take this score as well. Apart from a couple of innings, they are doing well to take wickets at regular intervals. KL Rahul took a stunner to dismiss Khawaja and then India did well to build around it. Now, the final session is coming up. India will look to bundle out Australia under 250 while the tourists will hope this stand flourish more.

A good session for both teams. However, the stand between Peter Handscomb and Pat Cummins has helped Australia to calm things down once again. Australia started the session with Usman Khawaja and Travis Head but the later fell quickly. However, Khawaja and Handscomb played out a superb stand to help get back on track. Khawaja fell after playing a fine innings. Later, there was a flurry of wickets but Cummins has soaked all the pressure.

...Day 1, Session 2...

Australia might have scored bulk of runs but India have the momentum lately. The way Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bowled the last few overs, it got really interesting for a while. Before that, Shami was struggling but his second spell was superb and got a wicket as well. Siraj was disciplined as well. The approach by the batters to tackle the spin duo was to unsettle them but Ashwin brought his experience to get rid of the Aussies' wall. A fantastic start to the game. More even t

A brilliant start to the second match. Australia have scored runs at a good rate but losing Smith and Marnus Labuschagne has worried them a bit. It was a good toss to win at first. Warner and Khawaja were watchful. Khawaja importantly brought all the runs and composure while Warner was struggling. He fell and then Marnus Labuschagne showed some intent but not for long as he and Smith fell in the same over. Travis Head is known to play with a different kind of approach so it will be interes

Ravichandran Ashwin to Steven Smith, ! EDGED AND GONE! Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith in one over. Incredible from Ashwin. What an over and all the hard work throughout the session is getting undone! Smith goes for zero! A rare zero. Ashwin bowls a slower delivery, full and angling across the batter.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the Second ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia.

We are back. The players are out in the middle. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul to open for India. Pat Cummins to start with the ball. 

...SECOND INNINGS...

Now then, Around 10 overs remaining. India will hope to end the day without losing any wickets. The openers need to give a good start. Australia on the other hand have their skipper as the only seamer. The others need to support him.

India were superb with the ball as well. This pitch has more turn than we saw at Nagpur. The start wasn't that good but they had their moments. Shami started the attack and then Ashwin got two wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith in one over. There was a period where the bowlers looked tired but Shami once again came up with his magic and ended with four wickets. While Ashwin-Jadeja ended with 6 together. 

Not quite sure who will be the happier side right now. Of course, Australia would have hoped for more runs but from around 168 for 6, they will take this score. Credit to Handscomb for the way he played. He looked so composed out there. It was very easy for him to bat on while others struggled. His stand with his skipper was very crucial but in the end, Handscomb ran out of partners. Australia were off to a watchful start with Usman Khawaja playing a big role. He scored a brilliant 81 and

...Day 1, Session 3...

India will take this score as well. Apart from a couple of innings, they are doing well to take wickets at regular intervals. KL Rahul took a stunner to dismiss Khawaja and then India did well to build around it. Now, the final session is coming up. India will look to bundle out Australia under 250 while the tourists will hope this stand flourish more.

A good session for both teams. However, the stand between Peter Handscomb and Pat Cummins has helped Australia to calm things down once again. Australia started the session with Usman Khawaja and Travis Head but the later fell quickly. However, Khawaja and Handscomb played out a superb stand to help get back on track. Khawaja fell after playing a fine innings. Later, there was a flurry of wickets but Cummins has soaked all the pressure.

...Day 1, Session 2...

Australia might have scored bulk of runs but India have the momentum lately. The way Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bowled the last few overs, it got really interesting for a while. Before that, Shami was struggling but his second spell was superb and got a wicket as well. Siraj was disciplined as well. The approach by the batters to tackle the spin duo was to unsettle them but Ashwin brought his experience to get rid of the Aussies' wall. A fantastic start to the game. More even t

A brilliant start to the second match. Australia have scored runs at a good rate but losing Smith and Marnus Labuschagne has worried them a bit. It was a good toss to win at first. Warner and Khawaja were watchful. Khawaja importantly brought all the runs and composure while Warner was struggling. He fell and then Marnus Labuschagne showed some intent but not for long as he and Smith fell in the same over. Travis Head is known to play with a different kind of approach so it will be interes

Ravichandran Ashwin to Steven Smith, ! EDGED AND GONE! Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith in one over. Incredible from Ashwin. What an over and all the hard work throughout the session is getting undone! Smith goes for zero! A rare zero. Ashwin bowls a slower delivery, full and angling across the batter.

We are back. The players are out in the middle. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul to open for India. Pat Cummins to start with the ball. 

...SECOND INNINGS...

Now then, Around 10 overs remaining. India will hope to end the day without losing any wickets. The openers need to give a good start. Australia on the other hand have their skipper as the only seamer. The others need to support him.

India were superb with the ball as well. This pitch has more turn than we saw at Nagpur. The start wasn't that good but they had their moments. Shami started the attack and then Ashwin got two wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith in one over. There was a period where the bowlers looked tired but Shami once again came up with his magic and ended with four wickets. While Ashwin-Jadeja ended with 6 together. 

Not quite sure who will be the happier side right now. Of course, Australia would have hoped for more runs but from around 168 for 6, they will take this score. Credit to Handscomb for the way he played. He looked so composed out there. It was very easy for him to bat on while others struggled. His stand with his skipper was very crucial but in the end, Handscomb ran out of partners. Australia were off to a watchful start with Usman Khawaja playing a big role. He scored a brilliant 81 and

...Day 1, Session 3...

India will take this score as well. Apart from a couple of innings, they are doing well to take wickets at regular intervals. KL Rahul took a stunner to dismiss Khawaja and then India did well to build around it. Now, the final session is coming up. India will look to bundle out Australia under 250 while the tourists will hope this stand flourish more.

A good session for both teams. However, the stand between Peter Handscomb and Pat Cummins has helped Australia to calm things down once again. Australia started the session with Usman Khawaja and Travis Head but the later fell quickly. However, Khawaja and Handscomb played out a superb stand to help get back on track. Khawaja fell after playing a fine innings. Later, there was a flurry of wickets but Cummins has soaked all the pressure.

...Day 1, Session 2...

Australia might have scored bulk of runs but India have the momentum lately. The way Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bowled the last few overs, it got really interesting for a while. Before that, Shami was struggling but his second spell was superb and got a wicket as well. Siraj was disciplined as well. The approach by the batters to tackle the spin duo was to unsettle them but Ashwin brought his experience to get rid of the Aussies' wall. A fantastic start to the game. More even t

A brilliant start to the second match. Australia have scored runs at a good rate but losing Smith and Marnus Labuschagne has worried them a bit. It was a good toss to win at first. Warner and Khawaja were watchful. Khawaja importantly brought all the runs and composure while Warner was struggling. He fell and then Marnus Labuschagne showed some intent but not for long as he and Smith fell in the same over. Travis Head is known to play with a different kind of approach so it will be interes

Ravindra Jadeja to Usman Khawaja, What is happening here? An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Usman Khawaja takes the review straightaway. He thinks it is bouncing over. Let's see!

Ravichandran Ashwin to Steven Smith, ! EDGED AND GONE! Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith in one over. Incredible from Ashwin. What an over and all the hard work throughout the session is getting undone! Smith goes for zero! A rare zero. Ashwin bowls a slower delivery, full and angling across the batter.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the Second ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia.

We are back. The players are out in the middle. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul to open for India. Pat Cummins to start with the ball. 

...SECOND INNINGS...

Now then, Around 10 overs remaining. India will hope to end the day without losing any wickets. The openers need to give a good start. Australia on the other hand have their skipper as the only seamer. The others need to support him.

India were superb with the ball as well. This pitch has more turn than we saw at Nagpur. The start wasn't that good but they had their moments. Shami started the attack and then Ashwin got two wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith in one over. There was a period where the bowlers looked tired but Shami once again came up with his magic and ended with four wickets. While Ashwin-Jadeja ended with 6 together. 

Not quite sure who will be the happier side right now. Of course, Australia would have hoped for more runs but from around 168 for 6, they will take this score. Credit to Handscomb for the way he played. He looked so composed out there. It was very easy for him to bat on while others struggled. His stand with his skipper was very crucial but in the end, Handscomb ran out of partners. Australia were off to a watchful start with Usman Khawaja playing a big role. He scored a brilliant 81 and

...Day 1, Session 3...

India will take this score as well. Apart from a couple of innings, they are doing well to take wickets at regular intervals. KL Rahul took a stunner to dismiss Khawaja and then India did well to build around it. Now, the final session is coming up. India will look to bundle out Australia under 250 while the tourists will hope this stand flourish more.

A good session for both teams. However, the stand between Peter Handscomb and Pat Cummins has helped Australia to calm things down once again. Australia started the session with Usman Khawaja and Travis Head but the later fell quickly. However, Khawaja and Handscomb played out a superb stand to help get back on track. Khawaja fell after playing a fine innings. Later, there was a flurry of wickets but Cummins has soaked all the pressure.

...Day 1, Session 2...

Australia might have scored bulk of runs but India have the momentum lately. The way Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bowled the last few overs, it got really interesting for a while. Before that, Shami was struggling but his second spell was superb and got a wicket as well. Siraj was disciplined as well. The approach by the batters to tackle the spin duo was to unsettle them but Ashwin brought his experience to get rid of the Aussies' wall. A fantastic start to the game. More even t

A brilliant start to the second match. Australia have scored runs at a good rate but losing Smith and Marnus Labuschagne has worried them a bit. It was a good toss to win at first. Warner and Khawaja were watchful. Khawaja importantly brought all the runs and composure while Warner was struggling. He fell and then Marnus Labuschagne showed some intent but not for long as he and Smith fell in the same over. Travis Head is known to play with a different kind of approach so it will be interes
