August 13, 2015  10:46

Ind 1st inns: 152-2 (45 ovs) vs SL 183 | Scorecard

Prasad has settled into a good rhythm as he bowls another tidy over, giving away just a single to Dhawan.

In the next over, Herath also keeps it tight with Dhawan managing just two runs from the last ball of the over.

Pacer Nuwan Pradeep comes in for Prasad, who bowled a tight spell in the morning.

Things will get easier for the Indians from hereon and they have done well to deny Sri Lankans any chances so far.

Prasad induces the first foul shot of the day as Kohli reaches out to a wide delivery only to get an edge which flies past a diving gully fielder for two runs.

In the next over, Dhawan gives Herath the charge but only to defend it back to the bowler. He is looking to disrupt the spinner's length as he comes down again and blocks on the off-side.

Indians deals only in singles at the moment as Dhawan taps it to the covers for one which turns out to be the only run of the over.

It has been slow progress for India so far on Day 2, with 21 runs coming from 10 overs bowled in the session but importantly they have not lost a wicket.

Dhawan flicks Pradeep to midwicket for one to bring up India's 150, in the 45th over.
