Rohit: It's okay (on having to chase again), we know what to expect when we chase. It has to be. You cannot always go and play with the same mindset and same way. You got to adapt to the conditions and then play freely. That's the most important thing we want to do as a team. Same XI. Not really worried we didn't pull off the last game. Both teams played well, result not going in favour was fair for that game.

Pitch Report | Russel Arnold: It's a very warm afternoon. The breeze that is blowing across is warm. We have moved a couple of strips across. The pitch is dry. Very similar to the one we played on a couple of days ago. The gaps between the cracks are pretty wide. There's going to be a lot of crumbling. Captain winning the toss would want to bat first. The key as a batter is to hit the gaps and run, wear the opposition down.

Asalanka: We will bat first. I think so, it's looks similar to the other day. Not much as a different as a captain for this game. Kamindu and Vandersay come in for Hasaranga and Shiraz.

So, just the one seam bowler for Sri Lanka today in Asitha Fernando. Jeffrey Vandersay is in as a like-for-like replacement for Hasaranga, while Sri Lanka opted for the ambidextrous finger-spin of Kamindu Mendis, and the batting depth he provides, in place of the young Mohamed Shiraz.

We did bat well in patches, and we could have had some partnerships that would have taken us (home) with less wickets going. We tried our best to get into partnerships"

2.20pm Rohit Sharma rolling his arm over as India warm up. Will we see him in action with the ball in hand at some point today? Unlikely, given his reaction to being asked that in the first ODI, but after the third T20I, nothing will surprise me.

The match kicks off in 5 minutes
