83' Indian players are now frustrating the Indian players by passing the ball to one another, having done the job already to a great extent.

77' Lallianzuala Chhangte replaces injured Robin Singh.

73' GOAL! Robin Singh makes it 2-0 for India!

68' Jeje missed out on another chance, when his header, in front of the Lankan goal post, went straight to Perera, who jumped and pulled off another spectacular save! This man can do nothing wrong today! Jeje's was shocked with that save and equally disappointed!

49' India continue to dominate, Pradhan asked for a corner from the referee, but the ball had gone out of play after hitting his shoes.

46' India have made one substitution - Pronay Halder has been replaced by Rowllin Borges.

46' Welcome back. India would be looking to learn from their mistakes from the first half and deliver a much better show in the second.

45' + 2' It's half-time! Lanka's defence has been brilliant today. Chettri and Contantine would be gutted with their performance so far.

45' + 1' Narayan Das took a free-kick minutes before half-time after Lyngdoh was brought down, no damage done.

44' Constantine must be a worried man considering India have wasted quite a few chances today.

39' Yellow Card for Weerasinghe Sujan.

39' The scoreline reads 0-0, courtesy Sujan Perera, who has been exceptional so far.

35' Another chance gone. The ball was with Chhetri, who did well to breach the defence but his shot was finally deflected by Perera.

33' Another build up by India, not as close as it was earlier in the game, but Jeje's shot went over the bar.

31' Lankans have looked pretty rusty today. India would be cursing themselves for failing to convert two scoring opportunities.

27' The stats show India have had 82% possession so far compared to Lanka's 18%.

24' Another corner for India, Pradhan was initially taking it, was sent back, no damage done to Lanka's defence.

20' India have made most of their attacks from the right-hand side so far.

18' Pritam Kotal made another move, whoever it was easily fended off by Sri Lankan defenders.

7' Perera made a good save for the Lankans after Chhetri missed out on a header near the goal post.

3' India got a free kick early in the match but couldn't capitalise.

1' India kicked off the proceedings.
