elcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of Day 1 of the Tour match between India and Sri Lanka Cricket XI at the Nondescripts Cricket Club Ground, Colombo.
The Shubman Gill-led side will look to get accustomed to the conditions on offer ahead of the two-match Test series starting on August 15.
Stay tuned for live updates from the three-day game.
That first session belongs to the host. Save the run-out dismissal, Sri Lanka has been pretty impressive. Ravindu Rasantha is batting on 50 and would eye a bigger score when action resumes.
Fifty for Ravindu!
A clip through the legside against Suthar helps Ravindu Rasantha reach the 50-run mark in 82 balls. Five fours and one six in his knock so far.
SLC XI 138/1 in 29 overs
SLC XI 110/1
Manav Suthar into the attack. Breakthrough for India as the two batters end up at the same end trying to steal a run. Nishan Madushka will have to walk back after scoring 66 off 65 balls. Madushka had called for a run after driving towards covers. Ravindu tried sending him back but it was too late.
SLC XI 101/0
Kuldeep Yadav is into the attack. Another vital cog for India. He hasn’t been in best of forms in the white ball formats. Needs to get his rhythm back so crucial three days for him.
SLC XI 72/0
Sri Lankan openers – Nishan Madushka and Ravindu Rasantha – have been really good, not only with their defence but also scoring runs. India yet to get a breakthrough or help from the wicket.
SLC XI 43/0
From the other end, Gurnoor Brar is into the attack. So, five-over spells from Siraj and Prasidh are done. They couldn’t find much help off the wicket. Let’s see how Brar and Jadeja operate here.
SL XI 41/0
India has opted for spin after 10 overs. Ravindra Jadeja is into attack. He will play a crucial part in the two Tests.
SLC XI 23/0
No breakthroughs yet for the two Indian pacers. The pitch has been quite benign so far, with not much movement off the pitch or in the air.
In case you were wondering…
Why is Shubman Gill not playing for India in practice match against Sri Lanka XI?
Shubman Gill misses India’s practice match against Sri Lanka XI due to an impact injury sustained during training.
SLC XI 12/0
Another drive through the offside for Madushka against Siraj. The length has been a touch too full from the Hyderabad pacer. Ball doing nothing in the air for him.
No Auqib Nabi yet
It will be Prasidh Krishna who will share the new ball with Siraj. Ravindu also gets off the mark with a clip through fine leg for a boundary.
Time for red-ball action!
Mohammed Siraj to get us underway with the brand new red cherry in hand. Ravindu Rashantha and Nishan Madushka open the innings for the host.
Madushka begins proceedings with a sumptuous push through the covers for four.
Saransh, Nabi in action
The match against SLC XI will give India a chance to try out both players called up to the national team for the first time — Auqib Nabi and Saransh Jain.
Nabi might be in action at the beginning with the new ball in hand but might not be a direct entry into the playing eleven.
Saransh, the off-spinner, will be vying for a starting spot with Manav Suthar and Kuldeep Yadav.
SLC XI has won the toss and elected to bat first against India.

Denver Broncos offseason acquisition Jaylen Waddle is nursing a muscle strain in his leg and will sit out the next few days as a precaution, head coach Sean Payton said Thursday.
Waddle, a wide receiver, did not participate in practice on Thursday and was seen limping while wearing a sleeve on his left leg.
“He has a strain. I think we’ll see him back in the next four to five days,” Payton said
The Broncos acquired Waddle and a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft from the Miami Dolphins on March 17 in exchange for first-, third- and fourth-round selections.
Waddle, 27, recorded 64 catches for 910 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games (all starts) last season for the rebuilding Dolphins. He is owed $68.6 million over the next three seasons.
He has 373 receptions for 5,039 yards and 26 touchdowns in 78 career games (all starts) since being selected by Miami with the sixth overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Alabama.
He had a busy summer playing for Brazil at the World Cup, where it was knocked out in the last 16, and his focus now is on preparing for the new campaign.
Earlier today, Madrid announced the signing of Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig for a club record fee of around €140 million.

Vinicius Jr. signed a new deal with Real Madrid, extending his stay at Los Blancos until 2032, the La Liga club announced on Thursday.
The 26-year-old, who has been one of the lynchpins of Real Madrid’s attack in recent years, had been linked with a possible move to Premier League side Arsenal.
Vinicius has scored 128 goals for Real and provided 100 assists, with the club reluctant to let one of its prized assets leave for free next year.

WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers will make their major international debuts with the U.S. team at next month’s FIBA World Cup in Germany.
USA Basketball announced the 12-player women’s national team on Thursday, with Angel Reese and Aliyah Boston also among the first-timers joining veterans such as A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart.
Napheesa Collier, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Kahleah Copper and Rhyne Howard also will be part of the decorated squad looking to win a fifth consecutive World Cup gold medal and 12th overall.
“It’s great to have a team and to have a roster,” national team coach Kara Lawson said in a statement. “It’s been a long process to whittle it down to 12 players, and I think that speaks to just the talent we have in our country across the board. These 12 have earned it through their play and their consistency. I couldn’t be more excited about working with each of them, and I’ve had good experience with each of them. … I know what they’re capable of, and I know that this is a group that’s ready for the challenges that are ahead.”
The elite roster was assembled by national team managing director Sue Bird and approved by the USA Basketball board of directors.
“I’m so excited to announce the 2026 USA Basketball Women’s National Team,” Bird said in a statement. “This is an incredibly talented group that has earned the opportunity to compete in Berlin. Wearing a USA jersey is a privilege, and I know these 12 players will embrace that responsibility as we go after another gold medal. I can’t wait to see what this team accomplishes together.”
The U.S. squad heading to Berlin includes seven players who are under 30, including four 24-year-olds. Gray is the senior member of the team at 33.
The World Cup runs from Sept. 4-13, with the WNBA season on pause from Aug. 31-Sept. 16. The U.S. will face China on Sept. 4, Italy on Sept. 6 and the Czech Republic on Sept. 7 in group play before advancing to the knockout rounds.
