Saha hits fifty as India extend lead on Day 2

August 13, 2015 16:21

Ind 1st inns: 356-8 (109 ovs) vs SL 183 | Scorecard

Kaushal, who has taken 4-129, has a golden chance to complete his five wicket haul with No. 10 Ishant on strike.

The tall right-hander plays back to a full delivery but is beaten but comes forward and blocks the next ball.

However, he is unsure of his footwork off the next ball and is struck on the pads but the LBW appeal is rejected as the two batsmen steal a leg bye.

Saha has a big heave on the leg side, getting the ball over midwicket to take India past the 350-run mark.

Ishant is beaten as he looks to drive a wide outswinger from Pradeep before he drives it through the covers for a single. Saha takes on a short ball and pulls it through midwicket to complete his maiden fifty in Tests, from 98 balls.
