India vs Sri Lanka, 3rd ODI Highlights: Sri Lanka overcome late India fightback to avoid scare and bag consolation win

Great news! The rain has subsided and the covers are on their way off. However, the ground is still waterlogged and it may take some time for it to clear off entirely. So technically, we may have to wait for the match to resume.

Now the update we needed.

Reports from the venue suggest that the rain has settled in nicely in Colombo and that the ground has been covered entirely. We don't want to say it but it looks like it could be a long delay before the match could resume.

Drama of epic proportions. Going back to the LBW appeal against Suryakumar Yadav, the ball landed and impacted outside off stump, and yet when it went on to hit the stumps as per the ball tracker, Sri Lanka players exploded in celebration. To an extent that even Suryakumar Yadav thought he was on his way back to the dressing room. How was it out? It was never going to be out after two greens. Incredible scenes.

Those dark clouds had looked threatening for a while and they finally make their presence felt. The drizzle has picked up pace and it's raining properly in Colombo as we speak. The covers are out as well. Here's hoping there isn't much damage done.

Play has been interrupted at the R Premadasa Stadium due to rain. India 147/3 in 23 overs. Thankfully, it looks nothing more than passing showers at the moment. Suryakumar Yadav (22*), Manish Pandey (10*).

Suryakumar sweeps and gets another boundary. Plays the same shot that landed him in trouble the previous ball but this time he gets a lot of bat on the ball and it spins away to the boundary.

A long review taken but India are happy that Suryakumar Yadav has survived an LBW appeal here. Yadav went for the sweep but missed it as the ball hit him on the boots. The umpire originally declared Yadav out but he timely went upstairs to review. The tracker showed that the ball pitched and landed outside the off-stump, which means it was going to be not out from there. Sri Lankans celebrated as the tracker showed the ball hitting the stumps, but it doesn't matter. In fact, Yadav started walking back before he realised he could carry on.

That's two in two. Shanaka pulls back his length and goes short. But an alert Suryakumar brings out the upper cut and sends the ball flying over the keeper for another boundary. That would make Sachin Tendulkar proud. It would mean ominous signs for Sri Lanka if Suryakumar can continue like this. India 142/3 in 22 overs.

Oh! Scintillating. What a shot. A phenomenal straight drive from Suryakumar Yadav gets him his second boundary. Nothing too wrong with the delivery. Just impeccable batting from India's No. 5 batsman. Incredible.

A bit off purchase off the wicket for the left-arm spinner. That would give Indian batsmen something to think about. It's been a hard deck so far but perhaps now is the time when the spinners might be a little interested. India 132/3 in 21 overs.

Just the second ball he has faced, and Suryakumar Yadav places the ball prolifically to get himself his first four. Brilliant placement, impeccable timing and the ball races away to the boundary.

OUT! Got him. Big wicket for Sri Lanka and Sanju Samson holes out for 46. Oh dear! Just what we were talking about. Samson started the over well with a couple of singles but just when he tried to do something clever, the batsman paid the price for it. Tried to chip down the wicket and hit the ball to Avishka Fernando at cover. Samson goes for 46. India 118/.

Samson has moved to a run-a-ball 42. It's been a carefully-assessed innings from the debutant. He hasn't thrown his bat away at balls in this innings but batted with ample presence of mind. Need to make it count now, though. A fifty is definitely there for the taking.

Delightful! Samson takes over after Shaw's dismissal. Ramesh Mendis is welcomed into the attack with a couple of sumptuous boundaries. Two full balls and Samson goes over the in-field both times and does it with tremendous timing and perfection. India 110/2 after 17 overs.

GONE! Shaw falls for 49. India lose their 2nd wicket for 102 in the 15h over. Four dot balls in a row from Shanaka forced Shaw to do something. The batsman went across but could not put bat to ball and was given out LBW. He reviewed but it always looked plumb. Three reds and Shaw has to go.

Wow! Incredible batting. Shaw gets his third four of the over. Slightly short and he loves that leg side. He moves to 49. India bring up their 100 inside 15 overs.

He is not holding back. Shaw cracks back-to-back boundaries off Jayawickrama as he approaches a half-century.

After a tight last over, Shaw tried to stamp his authority again. Goes for a sweep but doesn't get the timing too right. He and Samson complete a couple.

Fifty partnership up off 61 balls between Samson and Shaw. And what a way to do it. Samson goes inside out off Jayawickrama and pierces the gap with precision. India 83/1 in 13 overs.

It's an experience to watch these talented Indian youngsters bat. The best part about it is that it's not always attack. Shaw and Samson haven't done anything exuberant. Just made the most of the bad balls and dispatched them to the boundaries. The phrase, 'mixing caution with aggression', has been exemplified well by these two. India 76/1 after 12 overs.

No messing around here from the debutant. If the ball is there to be hit, he will do it. Slightly short and Samson brings out the pull. Gets on top of the ball well and hammers it through the leg side. India motoring along at 71/1 after 11 overs.

Ah, we were wondering where Samson's big heave has been until now. And the answer has been provided. He dances down the wicket and launches Dananjaya for a huge six. Was it the google? Possibly, but it doesn't matter to Samson. India 66/1 after 10 overs.

Close but Samson survives. Short ball and Samson went after the aerial cut shot. But the fielder was just a little off point there. Not only could he not get to the ball on time but he made a mess of it and it goes to the boundary. The bowler is not impressed. That is Samson's first four in ODI cricket.

Five players making their debuts for India, and here's their moment under the sun - receiving India's ODI cap.
