Jasprit Bumrah to Vishwa Fernando. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed to long off for 2 runs, run save by Jadhav.
Sri Lanka have limped to a below par total of 217. They never got going against some disciplined and relentless Indian bowling. Jasprit Bumrah was superb, mixing high class off cutters with fast and accurate yorkers. His 5-27 was a just reward.
All the spinners did a fine job and only Lahiru Thirimanne was able to show some resistance with 80. Sri Lanka have a huge job on their hands trying to defend this. They will need Akila Dananjaya to repeat his heroics from the second ODI.
