attacking innings. Rohit’s dismissal sparked a slump as India added 63 runs after being 110 from three in the 13th when the skipper retired.
Neck to Neck chase
India finished their innings on 173/8, with Ashwin (15 no-outs) and Arshdeep (1*) in between.
He only had 7 runs to defend but young Arshdeep Singh knocked out his Heart to bring the competition to the penultimate installment. There were lots of left-arm Pacer Yorkers but didn’t have enough to work with SL who got the job done with 1,1,2,1,2 byes. Indeed, there was a chance of running away from the fifth field, but Rishabh Pant didn’t hit directly, despite all three stumps being visible to him and the batsman quite far behind the barrel to steal a bye. The ball rolled to Arshdeep, who failed to run to the non-forward’s winger.
