India will fancy their chances of wrapping up the five-match series when they lock horns with a beleaguered Sri lanka in the third One-day International in Pallekele on Sunday.

The visitors have a 2-0 lead in the series and can wrap up the contest with another win here before leaving for the last leg of the tour in Colombo.

With regular skipper Upul Tharanga suspended, Chamara Kapugedera will lead the hosts on Sunday.

Here are live updates from the third ODI:

'22:17

There will no further play in the match. India have sealed the series with two games to go.

'22:10

Sri Lanka fans are not happy, there's some bottling going on. Very reminiscent of Cuttack and Jamshedpur. The players and umpires have gathered towards the pitch, waiting for the situation to be brought under control. ​

'22:04

They are in a mood to finish things early. Sharma hits a four to bring up India's 200. 

Dhoni then hits one over long-on for the maximum. 

IND- 210/4 after 44 overs

'21:55

FOUR

Dhoni brings up his fifty in style. Cuts it right of the man at backward point. A very composed and important innings from the former skipper.

IND- 198/4 after 43 overs

'21:49

7 runs off the last three overs. But it is not a worry for India. They need 29 runs off 54 balls. Dhoni seems to be heading for another match-finishing knock while Rohit for another match-winning one. 

IND- 189/4 after 41 overs

'21:42

Dhoni and Rohit take a boundary each off the two overs. India do not seem in any pressure now. Sri Lanka need to do something and quick. 

IND- 182/4 after 38 overs

'21:32

SIX

First ball after completing his century Rohit hooks one for six. 100 up for the parntnership. 

IND- 168/4 after 36 overs

'21:27

Hundred for Rohit Sharma. Brilliant innings from Rohit, his first century in Sri Lanka. 

IND- 160/4 after 35 overs

'21:15

India is taking the match home slowly. There has not been much pressure from Sri Lanka.

IND- 148/4 after 32 overs

'20:53

Malinga is back in the attack. Sri Lanka would like get a wicket here. 

IND- 117/4 after 27 overs

'20:44

Rohit is doing bulk of the scoring here. Dhoni is 7 off 17 balls. The partnership is past 50 now.

IND- 113/4 after 25 overs 

'20:34

Dhoni is being his watchful self here while Rohit is playing the only way he does. Interesting partnership this.

IND- 102/4 after 23 overs

'20:30

But Rohit is having none of that, he takes Chameera for 3 consecutive fours in the over. Brings up his fifty.

IND- 85/4 after 19th overs

'20:25

Dhoni and Rohit are taking things slow here. Dhoni will take his time to settle down. So should Rohit.

IND- 72/4 after 18 overs

'20:20

Dhoni was the man who rescued India in the last match. The situation is not that dire here. But Rohit or he need to remain there till the end. 

IND- 63/4 after 16 overs 

'20:14
 
OUT

Kedar Jadahv is gone for a duck. Akila Dananjaya does him again. Jadhav goes for sweep and misses. Hits him on the back thigh and that's plumb. 

Dhoni is the new man in.

IND- 62/4 

'20:02

OUT

Akila Dananjaya is back. It was the googly, but more than that it was a bad shot from Rahul. Straight to deep mid-wicket with his pull. 

IND- 61/2 after 14 overs

'19:55

India have been lucky here. KL Rahul survives some inside edges while Rohit Sharma gets treated to same bad balls. Sri Lanka need to keep the pressure. 

IND- 51/2 after 12 overs

'19:45

Fernando is bowling a beautiful spell here. Just 2 runs of his 5th over.

'19:42

FOUR

Lucky here for Rohit. Mathews is bowling well here. Rohit goes back to cut a full delivery wide outside off. The ball takes the outside half of his bat and flies away wide of first slip.

IND- 33/2 after 9 overs

'19:37

Another good over by Fernando here. His bowling figures make exellent reading: 4-2-8-1

IND- 29/2 after 8 overs

'19:30

KL Rahul is the new man in. He is batting at no. 4 today. It would be a great test of his character. 

IND- 19/2 after 6 overs

'19:23

OUT

Fernando gets Kohli. The Indian captain mis-times his flick, in the air to the man stationed at long leg. Chameera takes a fine catch diving forward. 

IND- 19/2

'19:21

Sri Lanka have begun their defence well. They are bowling with some agression here. And it is being appreciated both on and off the field. 

IND- 19/1 for 5 overs

'19:15

MAIDEN

India under pressure after Dhawan's wicket. Fernando bowls a good line to Kohli, who doesn't get any freedom to open up.

IND- 10/1 after 4 overs 

'19:09

OUT

Malinga gets his 299th ODI wicket. Shikhar tries to cut the ball, not enough room and it gets an inside-edge into his middle stump. 

IND- 9/1 

'19:07

Vishwa Fernando starts from the other end. Shikhar drives him for a FOUR off the very first ball.

IND- 9/0 after 2 overs

'19:00

Only one boundary from the first over. Rohit stands tall and slaps that away through point. 

IND- 4/0

'18:55

We're back! Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are out in the middle. Malinga to start. 

'18:17

7 off the last over. Sri Lanka reach 217 for 9 in their 50 overs. Another fine bowling performance by India.

'18:13

OUT

Chameera is run out here. The bouncer goes well above the head and the batsmen try to steal a bye. Dhoni moves to his left to collect the ball, and quickly sends it across to Bhuvi, who does the rest. 

SL - 210/9 after 49 overs.

'18:05

OUT

Here is the first 5-wicket haul for Bumrah. Siriwardana was going for it- he has slogged two previous balls to the boundary. In response Bumrah goes full and goes straight, hits the stumps. 

SL - 203/8 after 48 overs.

'18:00

Cover's are off and the game is going to start soon.

'17:54

Its raining. Umpires have to suspend play. Covers are on. 

'17:51

MAIDEN

Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowls a maiden over. Remember, it is the 47th over of the innings. Chameera tries hard and misses almost every ball. Great stuff by India here, poor by Sri Lanka.

SL - 192/7 after 47 overs.

'17:46

OUT

Clean Bowled! Bumrah loves hitting the stumps. The ball swings across the line and the off stump is out of the ground. Bumrah gets his fourth wicket. Dananjaya walks back. 

SL - 192/7 after 46 overs.

'17:41

Siriwardana is Sri Lanka's only hope here. He takes Chalal for a four in the overs. Good over for the hosts. 

SL- 190/6 after 45 overs.

'17:37

OUT

Axar gets through. The ball had little more drift than Kapugedera expected. Off goes the leg stump. 

SL - 181/6 after 44 overs.

'17:34

Chalal returns and bowls a very tidy over. Just 5 off it. 

SL- 178/5 after 43 overs.

'17:31

Change of ends for Axar.  Siriwardana gets a lucky FOUR off the first ball. Outside edge past Dhoni's left. Axar follows it with a wide down the leg side. But recovers to give away just 3 runs off the next five balls.

SL - 171/5 after 42 overs.

'17:27

Bhuvi returns as we get into the last 10 overs. Kapugadera ruins a very good with a FOUR off the last ball. Still just 6 runs off it. 

SL - 165/5 after 41 overs.

'17:20

OUT

Thirimanne is gone. He tried to flick a slower ball to midwicket, sends it straight to Kedar Jadhav. Untimely end to a good knock.

Milinda Siriwardana is the new batsman in.

SL - 159/5 after 40 overs.

'17:18

Axar replaces Jadhav and Thirimanne greets him with a FOUR off the very first ball. 4 more singles in the over.

SL - 158/4 after 39 overs.

'17:11

Bumrah brought back into the attack. Bowls a tidy over.

Lanka really need to get going here. They have 72 balls to play with six wickets in hand. Need to add at least 100-110 runs more.

SL - 150/4 after 38 overs.

'17:04

Skipper Chamara Kapugedera is giving Thirimanne company in the middle now.

The Indian spinners are finish their overs rapidly here.

SL - 142/2 after 36 overs.

'17:01

OUT!

Brain fade moment for Mathews, plays a reverse-sweep to a dead straight ball. Makes things worse by opting for a referral. Walks back to the pavilion after seeing all three reds in DRS.

Poor cricket this from the senior batsman. Lanka needed him to support Thrimanne.

Meanwhile, Kedar Jadhav makes yet another important contribution with the ball.

SL - 140/4 after 35 overs.

'16:56

SIX!

Thirimanne breaks the shackles, steps out and lofts Chahal over the ropes.

Good over from Lanka, nine runs from it.

SL - 135/3 after 34 overs.

'16:50

Kedar Jadhav given an over. Concedes just one run to start his spell.

Time for Drinks!

'16:47

Chahal drops it short, Mathews hoicks it for four.

The experienced batsman will need to keep playing shots, there's no point saving wickets and getting just past 200. Need to target at least 250 to pose a challenge for the Indian batting.

SL - 125/2 after 32 overs.

'16:38

50 for Thirimanne!

​This has been an impressive come-back to international cricket for the left-handed batsman.

He's done all the hard work, should look for a big one and give his team a respectable total.

'16:36

Axar Patel has quietly slipped in 5 overs and given away just 10 runs.

The left-arm spinner has had a good series so far.

SL - 110/3 after 29 overs.

'16:33

Thirimanne takes his chance, flicks the ball over square-leg for four.

Lanka would want to up the run-rate slowly now.

SL - 107/3 after 28 overs.

'16:25

OUT!

India break Lanka's resistance.

Pandya bangs it in again, Chandimal mistimes another pull and is caught by Bumrah in the deep.

The right-hander's knock of 36 from 71 balls comes to an end.

Angelo Mathews walks out to the middle.

SL - 100/3 after 24.4 overs.

'16:21

Chandimal survives a scare!

He was struggling to get back to the crease but Dhoni failed to gather the ball. Would've been gone there.

An ordinary day for Dhoni behind the stumps so far.

'16:17

India finally create half-a-chance.

Pandya bangs it short, the ball goes up in the air after Chandimal mistimes a pull, Kohli can't get to the ball running backwards.

Chandimal ends the over with a solid pull for four.

SL - 96/2 after 24 overs.

'16:07

A couple of let ups by KL Rahul in the field in the last few overs. Kohli doesn't look happy.

Meanwhile, Axar Patel comes in to have a bowl. Gives three runs in his first over.

'16:05

50-run partnership between Chandimal and Tirimanne comes up.

They're not going at a fast click but Lanka will be glad that they're holding fort.

SL - 79/2 after 20 overs.

'16:01

Class shot from Thirimanne!

​Presents the full face of the bat to hit a fine straight-drive for four.

Pandya has gone for 22 off his four overs so far.

SL - 77/2 after 19 overs.

'15:57

Chandimal is batting on 26 off 54. The batters are struggling to get boundaries at the moment.

SL - 68/2 after 18 overs.

'15:43

Chahal gives six runs to end his third over.

Time for Drinks here in Pallekele.

SL - 60/2 after 16 overs.

'15:39

Pandya is looking pain-free at the moment. Let's hope the ankle injury he suffered in the last game doesn't resurface.

SL - 54/2 after 15 overs.

'15:35

Another tidy over by Chahal, just two runs from it. He's not getting a whole lot of turn, though.

'15:31

Hardik Pandya takes the ball from Bhuvi's end.

Thirimanne flicks him stylishly through mid-wicket for four.

The left-handed batsman is playing an international game after six months. He's looking more comfortable at the crease with each passing over.

Six came from that over.

SL - 48/2 after 12 overs.

'15:26

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal joins the attack, gives just a single to start off his spell.

'15:23

Chandimal walks out, Bhuvi bangs it short, the ball takes a top-edge and goes for four.

Lanka will have to be more patient here. Cant afford to lose another wicket at the moment.

Bhuvi beats the bat again on the last ball of the over. There was a discussion on whether the review should be taken, but 'DRS Man' Dhoni advised against it.

SL - 41/2 after 11 overs.

'15:18

Bumrah getting steady nip and away movement against the left-handed Thirimanne.

Beat the bat on several occasions in that over. Just the single came from it.

'15:14

India's fielders are having serious problems while patrolling the Third Man boundary today.

After Kedar Jadhav on the first ball of the match, this time it's Bumrah's turn to do a horrendous mis-field and gift a boundary to Lanka.

Bhuvi, the bowler on both occasions, must not be a happy man.

Six came from that over.

SL - 36/2 after 9 overs.

'15:07

OUT!

What a catch by Rohit Sharma at second slip!

Mendis pokes at an away-moving delivery, Rohit dives to his right to complete a superb catch.

Bumrah's perseverance is paying off. India are firmly in the driver's seat here.

Lahiru Thirimanne walks in to have a bat.

'15:03

Rare miss from Dhoni behind the stumps.

Couldn't get low enough down the leg side, the ball slipped under his gloves and ran away to the fence.

Bhuvi, though, is causing serious problems for the batsmen with his guile.

SL - 26/1 after 7 overs.

'14:59

Another maiden by Bumrah!

​Fine, fine fast-bowling on display here.

'14:54

Dinesh Chandimal gets a boundary with an up-ish drive through Covers.

Bhuvi is moving the ball beautifully in the air. Both ways, at that.

Just the boundary came from that over.

SL - 22/1 after 5 overs.

'14:51

Drama here in Pallekele!

Dickwella was given out by the umpire after a lethal yorker by Bumrah crashed into his toe. But the review showed that the ball pitched outside leg.

A couple of deliveries later, the ball crashed into the left-hander's pad once again, with the umpire choosing to keep his finger down this time.

It was Kohli's turn to take a review and as it turned out, Dickwella was in fact out.

Forgettable few minutes for the umpire there.

But India have got the breakthrough thanks to the brilliance of Bumrah. Wicket-maiden for the unorthodox pacer.

Kusal Mendis is the new man for Lanka.

'14:42

Fine shot from Dickwella!

​Uses his bottom hand and wrist to pull the ball for four.

The left-hander has been in decent form, his team would hope he converts one of his starts and gets a big score soon.

SL - 18/0 after 3 overs.

'14:38

An LBW appeal to end that over. The umpire reckoned the ball pitched outside leg.

Four runs came from that Bumrah Over.

'14:34

Not the best start for India.

Dickwella slashes hard to a wide-ish first ball by Bhuvi. Kedar Jadhav does a mis-field on the Third Man boundary to give Lanka their first boundary of the day.

A wide and a single to go with that mean the hosts get six runs off the first over.

Jasprit Bumrah to share the new ball attack for India.

'14:29

Right, we're all set to start proceedings in Pallekele.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the new ball, Niroshan Dickwella is on strike.

Here we go!

'14:25

'14:14

Hello everyone and welcome to live coverage of the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka in Pallekele.

Indian captain Virat Kohli has lost the toss for the first time on the tour, with his counterpart Chamara Kapugedera choosing to bat first.

Surprising move by the hosts there. They've lost two matches batting first and it wouldn't have been a bad idea to try something new.

Virat Kohli was happy to chase and said he would've chosen to do exactly that had he won the toss.

India go in with the same side today, while Lanka have made two changes. The experienced Dinesh Chandimal gets a game.
