India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI Highlights: KL Rahul's 64* powers IND to series-clinching victory vs SL in Kolkata

Karunaratne was expected a full delivery and opened up his front leg and clobbered hard, but ended up seeing it go off the toe end, to clear mid-off. Three runs.

Banged in on the pitch by Umran and Karunaratne manages to avoind this bouncer.

SL: 164/7 (32)

A short delivery by Umran, in on leg. Karunaratne defends it and it goes off the inner part of his bat to fine leg for a four!

Sri Lanka are into their last three wickets with almost 20 overs to go. And things are not getting easier. A muted LBW appeal against Chamika Karunaratne but rest assured, there is more to come. Sri Lank 160/7 in 31 overs.

One more goes down. Umran Malik removes Wanindu Hasaranga to leave Sri Lanka 7 down for 152. The India pacer really letting it rip now. That was bowled at almost 146 kph. Hasaranga's eyes lit up seeing that much room outside off. He played at the ball but hit it straight into the hands of Axar Patel at point.

There is only one way Wanindu Hasaranga knows how to bat, and that is attack. But to do that against Kuldeep Yadav requires some gall. Hasaranga has put Kuldeep under pressure for the first time in the match, smashing the spinner for 6, 4 and 4 in one over. Kuldeep comes round the wicket. Makes the situation interesting. KL Rahul shouts from behind 'Time leke daal. Jaldi mat kar'. (Take your time, don't hurry into bowling the next ball)

WICKET! A simple caught and bowled and Kuldeep has his third wicket. Sri Lanka lose their 6th for 126 with more than half the innings to go. What is happening here? Hara-Kiri is probably the right word to describe what's transpiring.

Dasun Shanaka's attempted sweep off Kuldeep Yadav is all over the place as he gets castled down leg. Sri Lanka crumbling at 125/5 in 23 overs. That's now 4 wickets down for SL for 23 runs. They were 102/1 not too long ago.

WICKET! Oh dear. Terrible mix up and young Nuwanidu has to depart just after his fifty. Sri Lanka crumbling again. Well, to be honest, that ball had a wicket written all over it no matter what. Nuwanidu chipped the ball towards Shubman Gill at mid-wicket but it fell just short of the fielder. Sensing the opportunity, the youngster took off before being sent back by Shanaka. But by the time he turned back, it was too late. KL Rahul collected the ball and disturbed the stumps. Nuwanidu had a look on his face every batter at one point of time has had. Sri Lanka 118/4 in 21.1 overs.

Played Nuwanidu as he becomes the sixth Sri Lanka batter to hit a half-century on debut. He had a slow start - took nine balls to get off the mark but once the innings went on, found his feet and started playing attacking shots. He weathered the opening burst from Siraj and Shami, kept his own and batted through. Richly deserves it. Sri Lanka 118/3 after 21 overs.

One follows the other. Axar Patel knocks over Dhananjaya de Silva for a golden duck. Pure and dead accuracy from the left-arm spinner as he darts one into the stumps almost yorker length. De Silva, who scored an impressive 47 in the previous game, fails to even get off the mark here. Sri Lanka 103/3 in 18th over.

There you go. It's a wicket in his first over for Kuldeep Yadav as he traps Kusal Mendis stone dead in front of the stumps for 34. A straighter one and Mendis has no clue. The ball hits his back leg and it's OUT! Mendis took the DRS but to no avail. Success at last for India… after a long time. Sri Lanka 102/2 in 17 overs.

You could have begun to wonder just when will India get Kuldeep Yadav into the attack. Well, after 16 overs, here is finally is. Time to bring out some tricks from Kuldeep's bag. Pretty sure neither of these batters have seen much of Kuldeep so the wrist-spinner has a great chance to outfox them.

Things could have gone either way after Mohammed Siraj got India their first breakthrough but Kusal Mendis and Nuwanidu Fernando have weathered the storm. And they have done it while showing aggression. SL have reached 88/1 after 15 overs at almost 6 runs an over and with 9 more wickets to go, including that of Dasun Shanaka - the centurion from the last game - India could be looking at a huge total here.

After conceding 14 off his first over, Umran bowls a much better second, giving away five. The field placement was all over the place in the first over. This time, it's a lot more bowler centric. Sri Lanka 83/1 after 14 overs, a start they would be happy with.

Hardik near gets India their second wicket as he almost gets Kusal Mendis. The batter slices the ball through off but can't get the whole of it. It was in the air briefly but went wide of Rohit Sharma at point. Hardik says 'swing wapas aa raha hai' (The swing is returning). India can only hope that's true. Sri Lanka 78/1 after 13 overs.  

A huge roar erupts at the Eden Gardens. WHY? Because Umran Malik has been handed the ball. India sniff a chance and they want to go full throttle. But hang on, what's happened here? Sri Lanka have taken Umran for three fours in the first over itself. The roar has been replaced by pin-drop silence. 

Nuwanidu Fernando goes over the top… one bounce and FOUR. Oh what a stroke. An aerial lofted drive, reminds of the great Sachin Tendulkar circa 1998. With that the fifty comes up in 10 overs. Sri Lanka continue to score at a decent pace, going at over 5 an over. India did well to pick up a wicket but Sri Lanka have showed no signs of slowing down.

Kusal Medis has a lot to do with the bat, especially after he had dropped Virat Kohli in the first ODI. He has started well so far, smashing a crisp cover drive off a gentle half-volley from Hardik. Sri Lanka 46/1 after 9 overs.

Still seam as Hardik Pandya has been given the ball. Will be interesting to see how much Rohit makes Hardik bowl. His workload management with the ball has been a huge topic of discussion. Hardik is a key player for India given it's a World Cup year, and the last thing the Men In Blue would want is it effecting Pandya is any way physically.

So what if Siraj picked up an early wicket? Sri Lanka won't get bogged down. Kusal Mendis and Nuwanidu cream a boundary each off Shami to make it a 9-run over. There have already been quite a few boundaries in this inning. Sri Lanka scoring at a healthy run-rate of 5.32.

TIMBERRR! The scrambled seam does it for India as Siraj has Avishka playing on. Thuds onto the stumps as India get their breakthrough. SL 29/1 after 6 overs.

But that's all it is. Nuwanidu flays at a widish ball from Siraj. It was in the air but well wide of the fielder at point. Races towards third man and a single taken. A huge sigh from the audience but Sri Lanka are still batting in first gear.

The swing has gone, as Millennials would say 'MIA'. Even Shami now banking on movement off the pitch. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli just threw himself to grab the ball and connected with a direct hit with his body in motion. That piece of fielding would lift India. Well, it surely has helped erupt the Eden crowd.

It took 9 balls but Nuwanidu Fernando finally has finally got his international up and running with a beautiful boundary through the off side. Slightly short from Shami and Nuwanidu gets on top of the delivery to punch it away for a boundary past point.
