SL off to a cautious start after opting to bat in 1st Test

August 12, 2015 10:36

SL 1st inns: 15-0 (6 ovs) vs Ind | Scorecard

Silva tentatively comes forward to defend as the ball hits the bat and bounces high close to the stumps. The right-hander cautiously defends the rest of the over as Ishant bowls the first maiden of the match.

Karunaratne drives the third ball of the sixth over bowled by Aaron through the off-side where the fielder at cover half stops it to give away just a single.

Meanwhile, Silva continues to defend solidly, perhaps looking to avoid any loose shots especially after the reprieve early in the innings.
