FIVE-WICKET HAUL FOR SHAMI. He becomes India's highest wicket-taker in World CUps. 3 matches and he has picked 5,4 and 5 wickets in them. SL- 49/9 after 18 Overs.
Third wicket for Shami now. On-field umpire called it wide but KL Rahul insited to go for the DRS and the team has been awarded with a wicket. SL- 22/7 after 11.3 Overs. Chameera departs.
That's drinks! What a spell of play dominated by India. Just 3 bowlers used and they have enough damage to more or less seal the match in favour of India.
Change Of Ends For Siraj. 7 off the over, including 4 byes, implying 3 against the bowler's name. SL- 21/6 after 11 overs.
A powerplay dominated by India. Two wickets maiden from Shami to end it. SL- 14/6 after 10 overs.
Mohammed Shami comes in one change and scalps two wickets in two balls. First Asalanka, then a first-ball duck for Hemantha. SL- 14/6 after 9.4 overs.
Just 2 off the 9th over of the innings by Bumrah. SL- 14/4 after 9 overs.
Relentless spell of high-quality pace bowling from the duo of Siraj and Bumrah. After 7 overs, SL-12/4. Lovely to be able to bring in live updates for all you for this fixture.

It's a maiden over from Bumrah. Asalanka the batter. SL- 7/4 after 5 overs.
Mathews finds the boundary, the first one of the innings. That ends the fourth over. SL- 7/4.
Sri Lanka- 3/4. What is happening at the Wankhede Stadium? Man, Siraj has started from where he left in Asia Cup final it seems. Kusal Mendis beatens all ends up. Goes back for 1 off 10, SL- 3/4 after 3.1 Overs.
Two wickets in the over from Mohammed Siraj and seems like the pacer who was a bit far from his best has also come to the party here and how. Caught in the third slip is Sadeera Samarawickrama. Wow captaincy from Rohit Sharma. Another batter goes without scoring. SL- 2/3 after 1.5 Overs.
Sri Lanka's run-chase has gotten underway at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Wicket off the first ball of the over from Bumrah, Wicket of the first ball of the over of Siraj. Both openers Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne depart out for ducks. SL- 2/2 after 1.1 overs.
India Finish At 357/8. Two run outs in the final over and just 5 runs but overall the Indian team would be happy with that effort. Sri Lanka need 358 to win.
350 Is Up in the 49th over and now it's Jadeja who is joining the party. He has scored a four and a six already in this over from Chameera.
Madushanka completes a fifer as he gets rid Iyer. The Mumbai batter falls for 82 off 56 balls. IND- 333/6 after 47.3 Overs. Surely 350 on from here.
SIX And SIX to start the 48th over and it's Iyer who is silencing his critics with his knock at the moment. Chance for India to make it a really big over. Score moves to 332.
300 Up for India, still lot of deliveries left. They would be eyeing as many run as they can from here. Set Iyer and Jadeja batting in the middle.
Fifty for Iyer. Much-needed for him and India heading deeper into the tournament.
Fourth wicket for Madushanka. This time he gets the better of Suryakumar Yadav with a short-pitch ball which brushed the glove of the batter on its way to the keeper. IND- 276/5 after 41.3 Overs.
Shreyas Iyer Putting On A Show here in Mumbai. Four sixes already in his innings.
Two boundaries in four balls for Suryakumar Yadav who has replaced Rahul. Both through drives down the ground. IND- 264/4 after 40 overs.
Chameera strikes. KL Rahul plays a check drive and it's an easy catch for Hemantha at short extra cover. IND- 256/4 after 39.2 Overs.
Quickfire Partnership. This has been for India and they would have to continue in a similar manner, given the stage of the innings.
IND- 248/3 after 38 overs. Dushmantha Chameera bowled the latest over and conceded 8 runs.
Theekshana into the attack and concedes just 1. IND- 240/3 after 37 overs.

11 off the 35th over which has ended with another Shreyas Iyer SIX! He looks in the mood does Iyer at his home ground. IND- 225/3 after 35 overs.
Shreyas Iyer picks the slower ball off Rajitha and deposits it over long off for a maximum. Earlier, Rahul had started the over with a boundary. What India have done well is not allowed the run rate to drop down despite the wickets. 13 off the over. IND- 214/3 after 34 overs.
KL Rahul Joins Iyer in the middle. Now with two new batters in the middle, Sri Lanka would be hoping to tighten the screws a bit.
Wankhede stunned as Kohli fails to equal Tendulkar's record of ODI hundreds. He falls for 88. Madushanka with another cutter getting rid of the batter. IND- 196/3 after 31.3 Overs.
Hemantha, Madushanka operating from the two ends.
Against the run of play as Shubman Gill departs for 92. It is Madushanka and his off cutter once again that has done the damage for Sri Lanka. Edged to keeper. IND- 193/2 after 30 overs.
And another six off the Hematha this time from the bat of Gill to move into the 80s. And then a four to end the over. 13 off the over. IND- 185/1 after 29 overs.
India- 172/1 after 28 overs. Virat Kohli- 84*, Shubman Gill- 75*. A Gill special for a maximum in that over.
Kohli In His 80s at the moment. Can he get to the record-equalling hundred today?
The boundary off the first over has made sure India fetch 11 runs from that over. IND- 162/1 after 26 overs.
Four To Start The 26th over. Beats the mid-on fielder to his right, that drive from Kohli.

10 off the last two overs. IND-136/1 after 23 overs.
Another 6-Run Over. Neither of the batters are being made to work hard for runs. IND- 126/1 after 21 overs.
Hemantha-Rajitha Operating From The Two Ends for Sri Lanka. 6 came off the 19th over and a single off 20th bowled by Rajitha. IND-120/1 after 20 overs.
Second half-century in World Cup 2023 for Shubman Gill. He was perhaps one of the few who had not performed as welll as he would have liked and is in with a chance to make it a big one now.
Seven runs off that over and Gill found the boundary in that one. IND- 113/1 after 18 overs.
IND- 106/1 after 17 overs. 100 of the partnership too. Things beginning to look worse for Sri Lanka.
And it's another fifty for Virat Kohli. Reaches there off 50 balls and has once again taken the pressure off India straightaway after they were reduced to 4/1 in the frst over itself. 100 up for India too.
GILL FINDS THE FENCE. Cracker shot. Danced down the track and flashed at it, still managing to find the middle of the bat for a four on the off side.
Punched Down The Ground for a four to start the 16th over. It's from the bat of Kohli who is looking in great nick and is approaching yet another half-century.
Dushan Hemantha, wrist spinner, begins proceedings post the drinks interval. Concedes three singles off his first over. IND- 88/1 after 15 overs.
So Madhushanka concedes 3 off his first over in the second spell. IND- 85/1. That was the drinks break. Shubman Gill- 34* off 41, Virat Kohli- 39 off 41. Partnership worth 81 already.
Madushanka returns for a second spell. Bowled three, picked a wicket in his first.
No real struggle for India as far as run-scoring is concened. Another 9-run over. Theekshana was the bowler on this occasion and Gill manged to find a bondary in that over with a beauty of a shot through square leg. After 13 overs, IND-82/1. Shubman Gill- 33* off 38, Virat Kohli- 37* off 38.
Angelo Mathews finishes a tidy over. IND- 72/1 after 12 overs.
Ominous Signs For Sri Lanka. Important to note both Kohli and Gill's catches have been dropped.
Four singles to follow the boundary from Kohli on the first ball. END OF OVER 11. After 11 overs, Kohli- 68/1.
Time For Spin as Maheesh Theekshana into the attack. He is welcomed with a boundary from Kohli. Powerfully driven on the off side.
End of the first powerplay. IND- 60/1. Virat Kohli- 28* off 28, Shubman Gill- 26* off 30. Four bowlers used already.
And another boundary. Gill again and it's a superb connection. Through the covers for another boundary.
50 Up For India and it's a ball drifting down leg, helped through the fine-leg region for a boundary that has helped them bring up reach the milestone in 8.1 overs. Rajitha the bowlers.
It's Angelo Mathews from the other end. And it's another over where the hosts manage to find the boundary. This time it's GILL who has cut it past point to find the fence.
Kasun Rajitha has been introduced into the attack. He goes for 9 in his first over and once again it is Kohli who founds both the boundaries. India getting a move on. IND-42/1 after 7 overs.
Kohli adding salt to the wound as he finishes the over in which his catch was dropped by hitting two boundaries in it. First onwe through point, the other past mid on. The bowler might have hurt his shoulder as he attempted to take that Kohli catch. After 6 overs, IND- 33/1.
Would you believe it? Sri Lanka almost got the better of Virat Kohli. Chameera got a return catch off his own bowling but couldn't hold on. This could prove to be very costly for Sri Lanka. Kohli batting on 10 at the moment.
11 Off The Over. Two singles and a wide post those couple of boundaries from the bat of Gill. IND- 25/1 after 5 overs.
Back-To-Back Boundaries from the bat of Shubman Gill. And it's come in the third over of Madushanka. Much needed for India and Gill. First a pull through midwicket off the second ball of the over before a punch through point. Both for the same result.
Second successive maiden for Dushmantha Chameera. After the end of four overs, IND- 14/1.
A quick recap to begin with. India have six out of six wins and Sri Lanka have two out of six wins heading into this fixture. Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bowl first and then removed an in form Rohit Sharma off the second ball of the match, courtesy of Dilshan Madushanka who bowled a superb delivery to rattle his off stump. Since then, Kohli and Shubman Gill have been cautious. Dushmantha Chameera is bowling from the other end and neither of them have given many freebies.
Join me in thanking Shivam Sharma who put some context into this match and guided you up until point. From here on, you will have to bear with me, Saurabh Ganguly, probably through the rest of the match.
Over number 2: Chameera starts with a maiden over! Shubman Gill plays the six deliveries with caution. India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: India are 12/1 (2.2 overs)
Madushanka provides the early breakthrough! Rohit's off-stump goes for a walk and India is one down. Virat walks in.
WICKET! Rohit Sharma started off briliantly! He hits a four but then has been sent back to the pavilion on just the 2nd delivery of first over. IND vs SL Live Score: India are 4/1 0.2 overs
What a way to start the proceedings! Rohit hits first delivery of the day for a boundary!
Both teams out for the national anthems. Sri Lanka's first, followed by that of India.
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis(w/c), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, Dushan Hemantha, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka
Rohit Sharma: Would have batted first. Obviously some assistance to start with but under lights there will be good assistance for our pacers. Great honour, great moment to lead the team. It's important for us to no get carried away by the performances we put in. Same team as the last game.
Kusal Mendis: We are going to bowl first. I think the pitch will be better for batting in the second part. Everyone did their best in the last few games. Hopefully they will continue to do the same today.
