India find themselves in a spot of bother at 13 for one after five overs while chasing an imposing 349 for win against Sri Lanka in an ODI tri-series match here today.
Rohit Sharma was the only batsman to depart, caught by skipper Angelo Mathews of Nuwan Kulasekara at the personal score of five.
Shikhar Dhawan (6) and Murali Vijay (1) was at the crease for India.
Earlier, Upul Tharanga smashed a career-best unbeaten 174 , while Mahela Jayawardene made 107 as Sri Lanka produced a dominant batting display to post an imposing 348.
Tharanga scored his runs off just 159 deliveries with the help of 19 boundaries and three hits over the fence.
Jayawardene, on the other hand, faced 112 balls during his century knock. He hit nine fours and two sixes during his innings.
Towards the end, Mathews played a 29-ball 49-run cameo to help help Sri Lanka get near the 350-run mark. He struck fours boundaries and one six in the process.
Sent into bat, Sri Lanka made a quiet start to their innings before Jayawadene and Tharanga opened up.
Jayawardene and Tharanga mixed caution with aggression to pile up 47 runs in the first 10 overs.
Shami Ahmed, who replaced Bhuveneshwar Kumar, and Umesh Yavad failed to derive any assistance from the low and slow Sabina Park wicket as the Sri Lankan opening duo milked the Indian attack to surge ahead.
Jayawardene, who was dropped by Murali Vijay off Ravindra Jadeja at the personal score of 25, cashed in on the chance and played sensibly thereafter to reach his fifty in 60 balls with the help of four boundaries and one six.
