SL 1-2 (2 ovs) & 183 vs Ind 375 | Scorecard

Two right-handers out in the middle and Kohli sensibly introduces leg-spinner Amit Mishra ahead of the experienced Harbhajan Singh.

Kaushal Silva coming forward to defend with a straight bat before he is beaten by the googly but is struck on the pads.

But Mishra gets the next googly to pitch perfectly, beating Silva through the gate to bowl him for a duck.

Both the Sri Lankan openers dismissed for a duck as the hosts are left reeling on one for two in the second over.

Veteran Kumar Sangakkara comes out to bat in his final innings in Galle and again to a huge cheers and firecrackers in the background.

Sangakkara defends the last ball of the over confidently coming forward. A dream start for the Indians, a huge first innings lead before they dismissed both the Lankan openers in the first two overs.
