India VS Sri Lanka Match ball by ball Commentary

Beauty! Turn and bounce, on off, Sanju Samson looks to punch it but misses. The ball just goes over the off pole. The keeper whips the bails off but Sanju Samson had kept his back leg inside the crease.

Much quicker, on leg, Sanju Samson punches it to cover.

Drops it short, on off, Sanju Samson rocks back and pulls it through mid-wicket for a brace.

No ball! Tharindu Ratnayake loses his control and bowls it outside the pitch. In fact, it lands on the other practice pitch and it will be a no ball. Free hit to follow...

Interesting twist here, Ratnayake, who bowled right-arm off-break in the first over, switches to left-arm orthodox against the right-hander. He is one of those rare ambidextrous spinners capable of bowling both ways. Loopy, on leg, Sanju Samson looks to punch it but wears it on his pads. The ball rolls towards backward point. Dot.

Short, on leg, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi looks to flick it but wears it high on his pads. A stifled appeal for LBW but turned down.

Shortish again, on leg, Sanju Samson tucks it to mid-wicket for a single and opens his account.
