Ind 1st inns: 370-9 (115 ovs) vs SL 183 | Scorecard


Will India play out the day or hit some quick runs to stretch the lead above 200 and have a go at the Sri Lankans for a few overs before stumps? The lead is 181 and there are still 12 overs left in the day out of which two overs will be deducted for change of innings.

Saha is content to play out a maiden over from pacer Pradeep before Ishant does the same against Herath in the next.

Five fielders close in for Ishant including two slips, leg slip, a silly point and short leg but Ishant firmly defends off the front foot.

Pradeep bowls a full delivery on the stumps which Saha flicks through midwicket for a couple to take his score to 60.

However, he falls a few deliveries later trying to play the pull shot but gets a top edge and is caught behind after a good knock of 60 from 120 balls.

Replays indicate that Saha was unlucky to be given out as the ball missed the bat and went off the helmet.

New batsman Varun Aaron gets off the mark in some style, driving a full delivery through the covers for a boundary. India's lead now is 187. Can they get it past 200?
