India A vs Sri Lanka A Live Score: Natural light, a problem

Full delivery, Samarawickrama drives it straight to Tilak Varma at mid-off. 5 off 5 needed now. GONE! Would you believe it? Samawickrama, the man who had kept SL-A in the hunt almost single-handedly, falls in the last over! 5 off 4 now! Arshad nails the yorker and cleans up the set-batter. Mohamed Shiraz is the new batter in. He gets a single. 4 needed off 3. Gunasekara somehow manages a single at mid-off. 3 off 2! Shiraz on strike, he only manages a single, which means two runs are needed off the last delivery. WICKET! RUN OUT! Oh my goodness, what an end to this game. Gunasekaara has been run out while looking for the second run and the game is tied! Are we heading to a SUPER OVER? We'll have to wait and check.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 261/7 in 49 overs (Target 265) vs IND

Gunasekara somehow manages a single but then Yash Thakur bowls two wonderful deliveries, which end up being dots.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 254/7 in 48 overs (Target 265) vs IND

Sadeera Samarawickrama is certainly the man who is standing between India A and a win. He moves to the 90s and by weathering the Indian storm. Still run-a-ball needed. 12 off 12.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 248/7 in 47 overs (Target 265) vs IND

Anukul Roy bowls the 47th over. Samarawickrama gets a boundary and these runs are gold dust for Sri Lanka A at the moment. Seven off the over. 18 off 18 needed.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 241/7 in 46 overs (Target 265) vs IND

Ayush Badoni bowls his ninth over, giving just three singles and a two for a total of five from his penultimate over. 25 needed off 24 now. Intense game underway in Dambulla.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 236/7 in 45 overs (Target 265) vs IND

Arshad Khan and Anukul Roy have put a tight lid on the run scoring. The required rate is run-a-ball for the first time in this innings. 30 needed off 30 now.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 229/7 (Target 265) vs IND

The script of this game is following the first IND A vs SL A game. India are keeping themselves in the hunt with wickets at regular intervals. Anukul Roy cleans up Viyaskanth to give India the seventh wicket. The added pressure results in a few extra dot deliveries and the required rate has jumped to 5.4 now.

V Viyaskanth b Anukul Roy 18(39)

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 228/6 (Target 265) vs IND

Samarawickrama keeps getting odd boundaries, and he is taking the game away from IND-A's reach. Viyaskanth has also done well to keep Sri Lanka A steady in the chase. Just 38 needed now from 8 eights.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 219/6 (Target 265) vs IND

Vijaykanth Viyaskanth played out five dots before the Indians left him take the single off the final delivery to keep Samarawickrama off the strike in Vipraj's over. Viyaskanth manages a single off the first delivery in the following delivery and Samarawickrama brings out a reverse hit to get a much-needed boundary to ease some pressure off. Viyaskanth also hit a boundary to make sure the required rate stays well below five. Sri Lanka A need 47 off 60 now.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 207/6 (Target 265) vs IND

The required rate has crept up to just under 5 runs per over. Sadeera is still in the middle, keeping hosts in the hut in this chase.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 197/6 (Target 265) vs IND

Ayush Badoni has proven time and again that he has a knack for wicket-taking. Last game against Sri Lanka, he was crucial not with his bat but with his bowling. Here too, he picks a second wicket, breaking the sixth wicket partnership, which was looking dangerous. He snaps up the set batter Wanuja Sahan to give India a much-needed breakthrough. India are back into the contest they would feel.

Wanuja Sahan c Nishant Sindhu b Ayush Badoni 25(41)

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 190/5 (Target 265) vs IND

Sadeera Samarawickrama and Wanuja Sahan have held fort well for Sri Lanka. The host requires 76 runs in 18 overs at a 4.22 run rate. India need a quick wicket to impose themselves in the game.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 179/5 (Target 265) vs IND

Sri Lanka need just under 100 now and Wanuja with a sweep to find 2 runs, followed by a single. India really need Sadeera's wicket at this point with the right-hander taking the match away from them. 4 from this one.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 166/5 (Target 265) vs IND

Arshad will bowl now and Sadeera is creeping towards his half century. But he can't for the life of him, get off strike as the Indian bowler bowls 3 dots. He finally gets off strike with a single, follows up with another and gets to his half century.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 155/5 (Target 265) vs IND

Nishant back in the attack and SL need just 117 runs from 28 overs. Wanuja with a single to bring up 150 for the hosts. Sadeera on strike and he takes a single as well. 6 from this one

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 143/5 (Target 265) vs IND

WOW!!!! What a catch by Shedge. Wickramasinghe gets a leading edge and Shedge gets to thre ball in a flash on the followthrough!! Excellent effort.

Ahan Wickramasinghe c and b Suryansh Shedge 6(11)

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 143/4 (Target 265) vs IND

Anukul will continue and India have managed to stem the flow of runs somewhat. And anukul keeps up the pressure with just 1 run from the first 4 balls before Wickramasinghe manages to pounce on a poor ball and help it to a boundary.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 134/4 (Target 265) vs IND

AAAND IS THAT ANOTHER WICKET?? Looks like it as India afre very confident of a run out. Looks clear as day as Sahan is well short of his ground!!

Sahan Arachchige run out (Suryansh Shedge/Prabhsimran Singh) 8(12)

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 128/3 (Target 265) vs IND

Anukul in the attack now and Sadeera starts this one with four!! Takes a single to put Sahan on strike. Back to back dots next. This iswhat India need at the moment. 6 from this one.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 122/3 (Target 265) vs IND

India need the wicket of Sadeera who is playing a gem of a knock here. Vipraj will attempt to take out the batter and starts with 3 runs off the first three deliveries. Just 4 from this one.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 112/3 (Target 265) vs IND

Vipraj in the attack now and Sri Lanka are doing very well to keep the scoreboard ticking. AAAND HE'S GONE!! Dickwell gets a faint edge and the wicketkeeper makes no mistakes in snapping that up.

Dickwella c Prabhsimran Singh b Vipraj Nigam 37(33)

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 108/2 (Target 265) vs IND

SL-A need 168 from 228 balls now. The hosts are genuine favourites now but a few wickets can change the direction of the match. Can Nishant provide the breakthrough? Nope. Dickwella comes down the ground, just evades the fielder at mid-on and gpes to 4. He could have been caught the next ball too with a switch hit but this time the short third man fielder can't get to it and the ball races to 4 more.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 95/2 (Target 265) vs IND

Nishanty will bowl the first over after powerplay and he yields 2 from the first couple of deliveries. Errs in line and gifts a wideish ball to Sadeera who gets his bat to it for a four to third man. SL absolutely cruising here.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 86/2 (Target 265) vs IND

Badoni continues and Sadeera slaps him for back to back fours, with both boundaries coming the same way with the batter going down on one knee and sweeping. Not the best of deliveries and Sadeera makes no mistakes.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 76/2 (Target 265) vs IND

Ayush Badoni has picked up a wicket. Vishen Halambage tried to play a scoop shot and was trapped in front of the wicket. This is the pivotal stage in this game. Indian spinners are not front-line spinners, but they are pretty skilful as well. It is going to intresting passage coming up for Sri Lanka in this chase against the slower ball.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 66/1 (Target 265) vs IND

Nishant Sindhu has picked up the wicket of Avishka here. It was the arm ball which went in and hit the leg-stump. Finally, a breakthrough for India. He is very good is Nishanth Sindhu. He can bat and bowl, and especially his bowling, he is pretty accurate with his lines and lengths, and we can already see the impact he is having in this game.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 52/0 (Target 265) vs IND

India might consider bringing in spin here, as the pace has not worked here yet again. Also, it is pretty interesting to see that India uses all-rounders as their primary weapons rather than going for full-time bowlers. It has been a feature of their line-up through the series. From a batting perspective, they have managed it pretty well. From a bowling perspective, they have struggled.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 32/0 (Target 265) vs IND

This is a superb start for Sri Lanka here in the middle, both the openers are going after the bowling, and the Indian seamers are finding it hard to contain runs in the powerplay. While there is no help for the seamers, they must stick to their lines and lengths and also slip in variations from time to time, but at the moment, whatever the plans are, they are not working well enough.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SL 14/0 (Target 265) vs IND

Well, we are done with the opening over here. Arshad Khan took the new ball. Although there is a change in personnel on who takes the first over, the fate does not seem to have changed as India ended up conceding 14 runs. This is where India has to be careful, Sri Lanka will know that playing scoring against this new ball will be pretty hard.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Teams

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 264 all out vs Sri Lanka in Dambulla

Well, the final wicket did fall, and it is Shedge. But what a superb innings from him this. It might be the difference in the end on who wins this game. Sri Lanka dominated this contest for the longest period of time before that partnership between Shedge and Nigam. This is a pretty good score on this surface for India, and Sri Lanka have to bat well to get these runs. Those runs are not going to come easy.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 260/9 (48.1 overs) vs SL

India has lost a couple of wickets since our last update. First, it was Vipraj Nigam who got himself run out in an unfortunate way. And Arshad Khan is the last batter who was trapped in front of the wicket with a perfect wicket by Shiraz. So India still can be bowled out here before 50 overs, which is what it looked like it would be after the 25th over of the innings.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 247/7 (47 overs) vs SL

Vipraj too has gone past his half-century here. This has been a terrific batting effort from India. They were in a lot of trouble, but somehow they have managed to pull themselves out of it, and now this is a pretty good score. A score which will definitely keep the Sri Lankan batters a bit concernbecause of the amount of turn that on offer

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 233/7 (42.5 overs) vs SL

This partnership continues to hurt Sri Lanka here in Dambulla. It must be said, Shedge, who has gone past his half-century here, has played a superb hand. His tempo in this innings has been quite elite. This is the sort of pressure handling capability players need to make that transition to the next level. Vipraj too is playing quite superbly in the middle.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 207/7 (42.5 overs) vs SL

India has gone past 200 runs here, and the projected score is 242 runs, which will be a massive total on this wicket for Sri Lanka to chase. The conditions will get further slower in the second innings, and India does have good spinners up their ranks. Game number one between these two sides was quite a low-scoring thriller; we might see a similar tale today.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 189/7 (40.2 overs) vs SL

This partnership has come a bit of nowhere for India. The wickets were falling pretty quickly. Shedge espically has been quite superb in the way he has gone about his business, playing the key role in that partnership. Vipraj, on the other hand, has played the second fiddle, and it is working pretty well at the moment. India playing with more all-rounders is giving them an advantage here.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 176/7 (38 overs) vs SL

Well, both Shedge and Vipraj have changed gears in the last over; they have decided enough is enough. Well, 210 would be a good total but it seems like India has other ideas rather than ideas for a different way to approach getting to that score. This is a pretty important passage for Sri Lanka. They have done a lot of good work in this game, but if India gets away here, they will carry momentum.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 157/7 (36.3 overs) vs SL

It is hard to predict what a good score on any wicket is, but given the turn we have seen so far, anything around 200-210 might give India a fighting chance come the second innings, but for that to happen, both Vipraj and Shedge have to bat sensibly. They have to rotate strike and wait for those poor deliveries to come rather than go fetching deliveries which are not there.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 150/7 (34.3 overs) vs SL

That was a delivery quicker and flatter, which Roy cut and got the edge to the keeper. Again, it is those hard hands that have caused the downfall of Indian batters. He could have rather tried to guide it towards the third man or cut it a bit more delicately. Nevertheless, India has lost seven wickets and is in massive trouble. Vipraj is the batter in the middle.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 143/7 (32.1 overs) vs SL

Credit must go to Sri Lankan spinners for how well they have bowled here. The wicket was turning a bit, but they stuck to their lines and lengths and made sure the surface did the job for them rather than them trying to use their mystery deliveries, which can happen with young spinners. Kudos to the maturity they have shown today to rattle the Indian batters. As we update, Anukul Roy has fallen here.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 136/6 (29.1 overs) vs SL

Anukul Roy and Shedge are in the middle for India. Both are pretty capable batters, and they will need to build a partnership here. Playing with soft hands, pushing the ball for singles, will be the way to go in this partnership. Anukul Roy has been in pretty good form in the domestic season, and he will be hoping to get runs with bat, which will come in handy when he comes to bowl.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 128/6 (26.1 overs) vs SL

Well, India is capitulating here in Dambulla. There is a turn on offer, but again, it is one of those debates that come up on surfaces like this for the Indian batters: are they good enough? The wicket of Sindhu was a shot that came because of the hard hands he used, and Badoni feathered a delivery, making an error in judging the line. One should also remember most of these batters are coming on the back of IPL playing on flat tracks.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 122/4 (23.3 overs) vs SL

The pitch is spinning quite a bit here. India needs to be wary of what a good score on this surface is. They do have quite a fair share of spinners in their unit who can trouble the batters, but for them to come into play, India needs to put on some runs on the board to start with. Badoni is very good at the rotation of the strike with his soft hands.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 112/4 (20 overs) vs SL

Ruturaj Gaikwad has fallen here. Another set batter that has fallen for India. Well, this is not welcome, for espically in this format of the game. There needs to be a set batter, especially given the nature of this wicket. It is turning quite a bit. And the ball Gaikwad got, which turned in sharply, will create a lot of doubts in the batters who will walk into the middle.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 104/3 (17 overs) vs SL

Tilak Varma has fallen here. Mathulan bowled a wide delivery, which the southpaw tried to cut, and ended up giving the catch to the point fielder inside the ring. Just as when India was looking like they were settling down in this game, they have lost another wicket. Ayush Badoni is the new batter that hwas walked in. Both Gaikwad and Badoni need to build partnership.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 86/2 (15 overs) vs SL

We have reached the water break, and it has been Sri Lanka's passage. That is the advantage of getting wickets early on; no matter how much power the batting line-up has, they will have to tone down a bit, and that is what is happening with India here. Maybe by the 20th over mark or after that, we might see one of these two batters start to be a bit more proactive against bowling.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 77/2 (14 overs) vs SL

The going has been quite sedate from India here in the middle. Both Tilak and Gaikwad are looking to put on a foundation here. However, unlike the previous game, they would want to go after bowling a bit earlier. Usually, it is the 35th over mark, but with only one ball used after the 34th over in these conditions, it might become counter-productive to play that way.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 62/2 (11.3 overs) vs SL

Tilak is taking too long to get going here. While wickets have fallen and a rebuild is the need of the hour, it is also important that he keeps rotating strike and Gaikwad too get his innings going. The constant rotation of strike will let the bowlers bowl to different batters, which will make it harder for them to stick to one line and length man.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 49/2 (9 overs) vs SL

India needs to build a partnership here. This change in batting positions might have to do with what happened in the last game. Tilak and Gaikwad took a little while to get going in the later overs. If they had changed the gears earlier, India could have gotten more runs on what was a good surface, but right at the end, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND 39/2 (6.4 overs) vs SL

Shiraz has picked up Prabhsimran Singh. He tried to drive the ball in the air and was caught inside the ring. Sri Lanka is chipping away here with wickets. That delivery was not full enough to drive, but Prabhsimran went through with the shot he needed to come down a couple of steps to make the shot more accessible. Tilak Varma is the new batter who walked in.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND33/1 5.1 overs) vs SL

Ruturaj Gaikwad has walked in at three here for India. In the first two games, he has batted at four, but today he is up at three. His game will suit both three and four. He has been quite calculative and methodical in the way he has approached his innings in this series. And the way he started today, defending solidly and looking for that run, we might see the same.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND30/1 (4 overs) vs SL

Sahan has picked up the wicket of Sooryavanshi here. The southpaw tried to play against the turn and got holed out at long-off. This has been another game where Sooryavanshi has got himself a start but could not convert. Well, this format does require a shift in gears rather than playing in a single way through and through.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: IND7/0 (1.2 overs) vs SL

Shiraz has taken the new ball for Sri Lanka, and he has started well. He hit the right lines and lengths to start with, which is always a good sign as a seamer. It is important to hit those hard lengths specifically, with there being a bit of grass in the middle of the pitch, there might be a bit of moisture early on in the wicket, which will enable a bit of seam movement.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Let's go!

It is pretty hot and muggy here, unlike what we have had in Afghanistan. There is a steady breeze across the ground at the moment, which means the ball will swing and seam a bit for the new ball bowlers. There is a slip in place for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and hopefully Sri Lanka won't bowl it too wide in greed for him edging one.

India A vs Sri Lanka A Live Score: IND playing XI

Prabhsimran Singh(w), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma(c), Ayush Badoni, Suryansh Shedge, Nishant Sindhu, Anukul Roy, Arshad Khan, Vipraj Nigam, Yash Thakur
