    WICKET

    Dickwella c Jadeja b Kumar 7 (SL 11-1)

    He's been moving all about the crease and now he's got to move his way back to the pavilion.

    A thoroughly awkward innings from Dickwella has a fitting end as he tries to thwack Kumar across the line and only succeeds in getting a leading edge that is snared by Jadeja, running back at backward point.

    Looked like a bit of a knuckle ball from Kumar - whatever variation he put on it, Dickwella was tricked into making a false stroke. Advantage India early on.

  3. SL 11-0

    You know that bloke who plays for your village cricket team that sees off an over or two and then reckons it's time to start clearing the ropes?

    Dickwella is firmly in that mindset here, albeit with bundles more ability.

    The wicketkeeper is charging forwards, backwards, left and right about his crease to try and bamboozle Yadav.

    It's not quite coming off yet though. Just four singles from the over.

    How do you even begin to describe that shot from Dickwella? Other than a flip/paddle/pull?

  5. SL 7-0

    Dickwella attempts a remarkable combination of various shots of the penultimate ball of the over, eventually whipping it into the leg-side. Just a single though and just three off the over.

    It is hard to defend totals at The Oval. Sri Lanka just need to get a foothold in the game and shift the balance of pressure.

  7. SL 5-0

    A strangled appeal for LBW from Kumar as he raps Gunathilaka's pads with a full and straight one. No interest from many of his team-mates or the umpire though.

  8. SL 4-0

    Yadav will open up for India alongside Kumar.

    He starts with two slips but the second is quickly moved to a close point position, anticipating a flashy cut from Dickwella perhaps?

    He duly does go at a wide one but it's well-timed only for new dad Ravindra Jadeja at backward point to do well and prevent it racing away.

  9. Isa Guha
    Ex-England seamer on BBC Test Match Special

    India's bowling is so versatile. Any of them can open the bowling or bowl at the death.

  10. SL 2-0

    Kumar is on the money with a couple of dots to start. Dickwella then picks up a couple - wait, has Umesh Yadav fielded this with his foot on the rope? No, he's just about fine.

    Ooooft. Danushka Gunathilaka is anything but fine at the non-striker's end, coming way out of his crease and failing to get back as the Sri Lanka pair hesitate.

    A direct hit from Kedar Jadhav and Gunathilaka would've been run out without facing by a good three metres.

  11. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to open up for India. Niroshan Dickwella on strike.

    Here we go!

  12. So after all that, India have set Sri Lanka 322 to win.

    They looked to be on course for 350+ but Sri Lanka struggled with the bat in defeat by South Africa.

    Will they fare better here?

    The openers are out and we're about to get under way...

  13. Dhawan eventually holes out...

    But, at the other end, Dhoni kept up the onslaught to reach his 62nd ODI half-century, followed by this monstrous six...

  14. Dhawan is not flustered though and quickly brings up his 10th ODI century...

  15. Sri Lanka finally find a way to restrict India's onslaught, chucking the ball to part-timer Asela Gunaratne, whose loopy yorker somehow finds its way through Yuvraj Singh's defences...

  16. Sri Lanka fail to capitalise on those two quick wickets though as Dhawan batters back-to-back boundaries...

  17. Then one of the rarest sights in world cricket followed - an ODI duck for Virat Kohli.

    The India captain plays a poor shot to good ball from Pradeep and nicks off, caught behind by Niroshan Dickwella...

  18. Rohit looks to be closing in on a century but falls for 78, skying one straight to fine leg...

  19. Rohit wins the race to fifty, bringing up his 31st ODI half-century with a sublime six...

    And Dhawan soon follows, also reaching his fifty with a boundary...

  20. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan set the tone early on, frequently finding the boundary as Sri Lanka's seamers struggled...
