    Chasing 231 on a tricky surface, India were off to a fiery start thanks to Rohit's destructive batting at the top.

    He dominated a 75-run stand with fellow opener Shubman Gill before the latter departed.

    Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage trapped Rohit lbw in the 15th over.

    Earlier, SL managed 230/8 thanks to Pathum Nissanka (56) and Wellalage (67).
