- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 bounced out by a ripper! Surprised by the delivery that kept coning back in to cramp him, Prabhsimran got into a tangle and tried to evade but it was too late as the ball lobbed off the leading edge to the man running in from gully. Karunaratne isn't express quick but that he's bounced out Prabhsimran tells you how much of an effort ball that was. India A in early trouble. 16/23.4 he has smashed this straight to mid-off! Right in the slot, Sooryavanshi stayed inside his crease to hit through the line but didn't get the elevation. That's an excellent catch. He takes an age to walk off, but has to eventually. What a disappointment for the scores of Indian fans who've turned in this morning. The celebration from Shiraz told you why this was such a massive wicket. Fist-pumping, nerve-popping energy from the bowler. 16/113 oh dear - this is a terrible mix-up! Not entirely sure what happened at first, but both batters have ended up at the same end. Was fuller and flatter outside off. Gaikwad pushed it out towards sweeper cover. Both wanted two (once the ball had slowed up and the sweeper was initially slow off the mark) and Gaikwad took off accordingly after touching down at the bowler's end. Arya took a couple of steps too but then said no. By then, Gaikwad was more than half-way down and he kept running. And it looks like Gaikwad might have grounded his bat inside the batter's end crease before Arya, meaning Arya will be the one dismissed, with the run-out being effected at the bowler's. To add to the chaos, Arya's bat actually collided with the keeper's boot as he was trying to slide it back in. Well, a lot happened there but Arya has to go now, and Gaikwad stays! 69/243.5 how far? Not very. Holes out to the slog sweep to the man at deep square. End of a fine knock from Gaikwad. Looked to get on with it, but didn't quite time this as well as he would've liked. 219/449.2 you-miss-I-hit stuff. Looks to sweep this full delivery on the stumps, misses it altogether and is trapped plumb in front. The dip on that slower delivery did the trick for the bowler. 271/6Extras17 (b 1, w 16)TOTAL277/6 (50 Overs, RR: 5.54)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 3.4 ov), 2-16 (Prabhsimran Singh, 4.1 ov), 3-69 (Priyansh Arya, 12.6 ov), 4-219 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 43.5 ov), 5-225 (Tilak Varma, 44.6 ov), 6-271 (Ayush Badoni, 49.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR18.2 that's the softest of dismissals and Badoni has a second wicket. Dickwella looks to sweep, but there's no intensity or power behind the stroke. The ball grips and spins away to take the top edge as short fine leg takes the simplest of catches. 99/216.3 Sooryavanshi takes a good catch and a flourishing opening stand has been broken. Avishka was looking to sweep, but couldn't keep it down. It was struck hard but Sooryavanshi had his eyes on the ball and held it well. 93/121.4 stumped by a mile! Another well-disguised googly. On a length outside off. Nuwanidu hares down, trying to force it through the off side. Does not read the variation, though, nor does he pick the flight well. Too far from the pitch of the ball, and he gets done on the inside. Prabhsimran whips off the bails, and SL A losing their way now! 109/334 he has holed out to long-on! Roy generously tossed this up, Samarawickrama steps out and whips it from outside off to the fielder in the deep. He struck that well but it was almost as if he forgot about the fielder. Do India A have a foot in the door now? 187/447.2 superb yorker, and Kamboj gets the big fish! Pin-point accuracy. Zoning into middle stump. Arachchige tries to get his bat down in time but is a little late in doing so. The ball pops up off the toe-end and then bobbles into the stumps. Just the scalp India A needed at this stage, and Kamboj has been the one to provide it! 262/735.2 chipped straight back to the bowler. Ravindu is deceived in flight, looks to work it against the turn and ends up getting a leading edge. Simple catch and Sri Lanka A have been jolted here. 195/544 in the air and taken! Lobbed up on a length outside off. Karunaratne gets down on one knee and swipes at it. Gets a bit of a top edge and the ball spoons up towards long on, where Badoni does the rest. Vital wicket for India A at this stage! 237/648.3 chaos all around, and SL A are nine down now! Back of a length on the stumps. Shiraz pokes at it and plonks it past the bowler, who tried his best to get to his right and take the catch. Wanuja goes walkabout in the meantime and Gaikwad is sharp off his mark at mid on to spot that. He swoops in and throws down the stumps, with the batter well short. India A in command now! 269/948.2 rapped on the pad, and the finger goes up! Back of a length, angling into middle and off from around the wicket. Viyaskanth plays all around it and gets struck on the pad. Arshad is busy chasing the ricochet but when he turns around, he sees the umpire standing with his finger raised. India A not giving this up just yet! 269/848.5 holes out to deep square leg, and India A have pulled this out of the fire! Back of a length on middle and leg. Shiraz winds up and hoicks it towards deep mid wicket. Nigam tracks it all the way and then lunges forward to snap it up inches off the turf. Brilliant way to cap off a brilliant comeback, and SL A have completely imploded in the space of four balls! 269/10Extras11 (lb 1, w 10)TOTAL269 all out (48.5 Overs, RR: 5.5)Fall of wickets: 1-93 (Avishka Fernando, 16.3 ov), 2-99 (Niroshan Dickwella, 18.2 ov), 3-109 (Nuwanidu Fernando, 21.4 ov), 4-187 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 33.6 ov), 5-195 (Ravindu Fernando, 35.2 ov), 6-237 (Chamika Karunaratne, 43.6 ov), 7-262 (Sahan Arachchige, 47.2 ov), 8-269 (Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, 48.2 ov), 9-269 (Wanuja Sahan, 48.3 ov), 10-269 (Mohamed Shiraz, 48.5 ov)
