    I wonder at what point the Sri Lankans think, 'maybe we should have had a bat on this?'

  2. Ind 155-1published at 25.1 overs

    The first ball of this Chameera over is met with a lovely drive from Kohli to the right of mid-on and it flies away for another four. Kohli really looks in fantastic fluidity today, despite those early scares.

    Chameera dropped Kohli on 10 and Sri Lanka are continuing to be punished for it.

  3. Ind 151-1published at 25 overs

    Anything Kohli can do, Gill can match. Four from Gill and it was virtually an identical shot from the opener, with Theekshana's over not going to plan.

    Those two boundaries have helped India's scoring, with 11 coming off the over to pass 150 at the halfway stage.

    Deserved to be four. That ball from Theekshana was short and outside off stump.

    Virat Kohli was onto it in a flash. He didn't really move his feet, just moved his arms.

    India are just waiting for the bad ball.

    Cut away from Kohli and that ball runs away for four. Great batting from Kohli and a poor ball from Theekshana is dispatched brutally.

    Prior to that, the 11 previous scoring shots had all been singles.

    Kohli looks very comfortable and he's got all day to bat.

  7. Ind 140-1published at 24 overs

    Four runs come from the over by Chameera. Again, all of them via singles.

    Virat Kohli is now second in the leading run-scorers of this World Cup, but some way behind South Africa's Quinton de Kock, who leads the way.

    I don't think there is any danger of De Kock being caught by Kohli today, considering the India batter would need 192 in this innings just to match him.

    You'd think after the World Cup that the schedule would slow down.

    But it doesn't, it's relentless for these cricketers.

  9. Ind 136-1published at 23 overs

    Some tighter bowling from mystery spinner Theekshana, with India only adding just four singles to their score off the over.

    We saw a 200-run partnership yesterday between Rassie van der Dussen and Quinton de Kock yesterday. Will we see another today?

    Here is how Shubman Gill bought up a half century with a four.

  11. Ind 132-1published at 22 overs

    Six from the over again from India as they keep up this rate of a run a ball.

    We've seen plenty of teams go at a much lower rate and put on a big score with some end of innings power hitting. If India get to around the 35-40 over mark still at this rate, they will be on course to set Sri Lanka a mammoth target to chase.

    It's that passage of play where the spinners are on, the field is spread and the singles are so easy.

    Teams can quite easily score five or six an over and if you get a boundary, it's eight or nine.

    It's sensible cricket from India and what they need to get over 300. So I guess we'll see a passage of calm.

  13. Ind 131-1published at 21.4 overs

    A first boundary for a while for India, with Kohli punching a delivery from Rajitha down the ground and it squirms through mid-on before running away for four.

    Not the soundest piece of fielding as Kohli moves into the 60s.

  14. Ind 126-1published at 21 overs

    Hemantha's latest over just ticks through. Six runs, four coming through singles and two runs saved off the final ball with a good stop on the boundary.

    Interestingly, India's overs 1-10 and 11-20 went for exactly 60 runs each, meaning a run a ball. Quite a rare sight, but one for the numerical fans out there.

    India have hit 17 fours already in this innings and that is almost without a shot in anger.

    The ball has been outside the off stump and crunched through the covers then the Sri Lanka bowlers have overcorrected and been clipped leg side.

    Thanks, Ffion.

    The second-ball wicket of Rohit Sharma and some early concerns for Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli would have suggested that bowling first was not the worst idea from Sri Lanka.

    However, with Gill and Kohli both surviving early scares, both are on scores north of 50, this partnership sits on 116 and a wicket has not looked likely for a while.

    India are certainly on top.

  17. Ind 120-1published at 20 overs

    One from the over? Am I seeing things? Sri Lanka need a few more of those.

    As India look to surge ahead to a very, very imposing score, here's Jonty Colman to take you through the middle phase.

    Shubman Gill hasn't scored the runs he would have wanted.

    But he has just bided his time and for players as good as him, a score is always around the corner.

    Shot of the day. And there have been quite a few contenders.

  20. Ind 119-1published at 19 overs

    Good recovery from Hemantha, just two further runs coming from the over, but Sri Lanka are in desperation mode now.

    Can't see many bowlers queuing up to bowl to these two either, both well-set with 53 each.
