Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh were dismissed by Charith Asalanka off consecutive deliveries with India just one run away from victory as the first ODI encounter against Sri Lanka ended in a tie on Friday. Chasing a target of 231, India looked all set to clinch the victory with 1 run to win from 15 balls. On the third ball of the 48th over, Dube slammed Asalanka for a boundary and it prompted a huge celebration from Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir in the dressing room. However, things quickly changed as Dube was dismissed LBW on the very next ball and India had just one wicket remaining.

Former England batsman Marcus Trescothick has been placed in caretaker charge for September's one-day international and T20 series at home to arch-rivals Australia while Rob Key, the managing director of England men's cricket, goes in search of Mott's permanent replacement.

India captain Rohit Sharma and his reactions during a match are simply unmissable. The first ODI between India and Sri Lanka at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo was no exception.
