India vs Sri Lanka Live: Catch dropped!
Suryakumar Yadav is lucky there! It was a perfect set up from Sri Lanka to trap Suryakumar Yadav but Fernando has dropped the chance at deep fine leg. It was a slower short ball from Dilshan Madushanka outside off stump and SKY got a top-edge on it but Fernando failed to hand on to the catch.
IND 98/2 (8)

India vs Sri Lanka Live: OUT!
Big WICKET! Wanindu Hasaranga has got the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal. The southpaw is out for 40 off 21 balls. It is a really good stumping from Kusal Mendis. Jaiswal missed to read Hasaranga’s googly and that missed his bat’s edge. By that time, Jaiswal was already off balance and out of his crease. Mendis comfortably knocked off the bails.
IND 74/2 (6.1)
