Meanwhile, the Indian bowlers looked toothless.

OUT! Nishan Madushka departs for 66 following a terrible mix-up with Ravindu Rasantha. Madusdhka plays the drive towards the cover region, and wants a single. Madushka wanted a single, and set off for it. Ravindu, on the other hand, didn't want to take the single.

Manav Suthar does no mistake in collecting the ball and throwing it towards KL Rahul, and not Rishabh Pant, as the Karnataka cricketer still does the job by inflicting the run-out.

Sri Lanka XI 118.1 (23 overs)

It is spin from the other end as well as Kuldeep Yadav is introduced into the attack. Six runs come from the over, including a boundary from Ravindu Rasantha, who sweeps it fine towards the fine leg fence.

Unlike in an official game, both India and Sri Lanka XI can send more than 11 batters to bat in a practice game. That means if India want, they can send all their batters to bat if time permits. Also there is no restrictions on the fielders as well.

KL Rahul, the Indian vice-captain has come out for the toss at NCC. It's not raining at the moment. SL XI have won the toss and opted to bat first in the three-day practice game against India.

According to weather forecast, the weather in Colombo is cloudy with rain starting from 8 AM local time. There is no time difference between India and Sri Lanka. However, rain may subside from 10 AM local time although overcast conditions are expected throughout the day.
