Sri Lanka win toss, bat against India

Sri Lanka is trying to survive against Indian pace attack after losing two early wickets in the third one-day international against India in Pallekele. Stand-in-captain Chamara Kapugedera won the toss Sunday and chose to bat before Jasprit Bumrah takes the wicket of Niroshan Dickwella (13) and Kusal Mendis (1).

Chamara Kapugedera spins the coin, and he's won the toss.

Sri Lanka is now 97-2 after 24 over of the match. Dinesh Chandimal is batting with 35 while Lahiru Thirimanne is 39. The hosts, who trail the five-match series 2-0, have made two changes to their starting lineup after regular captain Upul Tharanga was slapped with a two-match ban and Danushka Gunathilaka was ruled out with an injury. Test captain Chandimal returned to the side, having last played in the Champions Trophy in June, and top-order batsman Thirimanne also made a return to the limited-overs fold.

"Pretty good mood in the camp. After the last game, we fought really well. We just couldn't step over the line but the motivation is good," Kapugedera said at the toss. Indian captain Virat Kohli named an unchanged team from the side that won a close second game by three wickets on Thursday.

"I would have bowled first. No need to change plans that are working. First was a big win, the second was rocky. But that's only because of one bowler (Akila Dananjaya)," said Kohli. Teams: Sri Lanka: Chamara Kapugedera (captain), Angelo Mathews, Niroshan Dickwella (wicketkeeper), Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Mendis, Lahiru Thirimanne, Akila Dananjaya, Dushmantha Chameera, Milinda Siriwardana, Lasith Malinga, Vishwa Fernando. India: Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Kedar Jadhav, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
