    First ball, four.

    Rohit Sharma clips one off his legs easily to the boundary and I suspect that is a sign of things to come.

    Anthems done, ball delivered on its miniature truck and that's our cue to begin.

    Rohit Sharma, who is in very good form, and Shubman Gill are in the middle. Dilshan Madushanka, Sri Lanka's best bowler of the World Cup so far, will take the first over.

    Sri Lanka have done the obvious thing, it's a nice hot day, the pitch is dry and they've said to India go on, have a bat. It hasn't worked, New Zealand showed that yesterday. They've been very kind to the India crowd, and India will look to put on their biggest score of the tournament so far.

  4. 'Nice for the seamers to bowl under lights'published at 08:25 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2023

    India captain Rohit Sharma: "We would have batted first, a good pitch. Some assistance there at the start and under the lights, it will be nice for the seamers to bowl.

    Captaining on your home ground?: "It's a great honour and a good moment for me to be captaining the team. A very nice moment.

    Happy to have ticked most boxes so far in this World Cup?: "It's a good thing for us moving forward, we're trying to get better as a team. It's important to stay balance and not get carried away with our performances so far.

    Team news?: "We're playing the same team as we did against England."

    Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis: "The pitch looks good but I think it will be better for batting second.

    "We have had a good couple of games and our batting and bowling is starting to work together. We are playing the best we can and I hope we can do that today.

    "It is a very important game and we have got to keep winning. We are still thinking of the semi-final."
