Ashwin takes 3 as Sri Lanka struggle on Day 1

August 12, 2015 12:53

SL 1st inns: 70-5 (25 ovs) vs Ind | Scorecard

Kohli introduces senior spinner Harbhajan Singh straightaway after the lunch break. The off-spinner, who didn't get a bowl in the morning session, will kick-off proceedings in the post lunch session.

He is also getting some turn but struggles to control his line as a couple of deliveries slip down the leg side.

Ishant comes on from the other end and he starts with a no-ball. Two balls later, he gets Chandimal to edge one but wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha drops a regulation chance. That was one of the easiest catches for a wicketkeeper with the gloves on. Chandimal (5) gets a lifeline and Sri Lanka breathe a sigh of relief. Two catches already put down by the Indians behind the wicket.

Ishant then has a loud shout for LBW turned down with the batsman getting an inside edge on to his pads. Chandimal drives the next ball through the covers for three runs.

An eventful over from Ishant as Sri Lanka reach 70 for five in 25 overs.
