SLC 107/3
Nishan Madushka has retired. Nipun Dhananjaya has come out to bat after the Lunch. Prasidh begins proceedings after the break.
SLC XI 106/3 at Lunch
Lunch has been taken. Both teams had their moments. India picked up three wickets — all by pacers. Only three overs of spin in this session. Auqib Nabi had his first outing today. He conceded 27 runs in his five overs without picking a wicket. For Sri Lanka, opener Nishan Madushka has looked good.
SLC XI 105/3
So, spinners are here. Saransh Jain and Manav Suthar have been introduced into the attack. At least one of them will be playing in the first Test. Manav had a great debut Test, and he is most likely to be spinner that plays.
SLC 87/3
Nishan Madushka has scored his fifty at almost run-a-ball! Really good batting, trying to be proactive from the ball one. Found the gaps consistently.
SLC XI 81/3
Gurnoor Brar picks up his first wicket. Pavan Rathnayake tries to take on Brar but is caught in the outfield. He falls after scoring 16 off 32 balls. Brar has been really impressive, bowling consistent lines.
SLC XI 62/2
The pacers haven’t got much support off the wicket. The runs are coming rather easily for Sri Lankans. Auqib Nabi bowling in early 130s but not much movement for him.
SLC 43/2
Auqib Nabi has come out to bowl for the first time in this match. He concedes one boundary towards the square region in his first over.
SLC XI 26/2
Prasidh Krishna strikes! Straight, full and Pasindu completely misses line of the delivery, leaving the middle stump cartwheeling. Pasindu four off seven balls.
Siraj strikes!!
First wicket down for Sri Lanka! Big appeal for lbw as the ball moves in a touch from good length. Height may have been an issue but the umpire raises his finger.
SLC XI 9/1 in 4.5 overs
No sign of Nabi
Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna return to take the new ball. The wait continues for Auqib Nabi, the injury replacement for Jasprit Bumrah. He is yet to deliver a ball in this warm-up contest.
Good morning!
India has declared at the overnight score of 357/6 against Sri Lanka Cricket XI. Nishan Fernando and Ravindu Rasantha walk out to open in the second innings.
