1900 hrs IST: Toss – India asked to bat by Sri Lanka in Ranchi. The hosts are unchanged, visitors bring in Dilshan for the fixture
1850 hrs IST: Pitch – There is no grass whatsoever, it’s completely bare. Sunil Gavaskar feels odd one would skid on and keep low. Batting not easy, he feels. Batsmen need to apply themselves initially

Ravi Shastri said he is focussed on the World T20 and not thinking about the possibility of becoming a full time coach of the Indian team.
Teams ready for sandy outfield
Indian team director Ravi Shastri and Sri Lankan middle-order batsman Chamara Kapugedera looked to be ready for the challenge as they spoke about adjustments.
