Aaron strikes early, Sri Lanka lose 3rd wicket

August 14, 2015 10:10

SL 10-3 (5 ovs) & 183 vs Ind 375 | Scorecard

The Indians are charging out to the middle and they look eager to get on with things.

Sri Lanka will be hoping they can see off the first hour and also the shine off the new ball, which is just four overs old.

The firecrackers go off near the Galle fort as Sangakkara walks out to bat for his final Test innings at the venue.

Aaron opens the bowling and strikes with the first delivery of the day, a quick short delivery which rises more than expected and Dhammika Prasad (3) can only fend it to be caught by Rahane at gully, diving to his left.

Captain Angelo Mathews comes out to bat at No. 5 and he has a huge task ahead of him.

Aaron greets him with a bouncer which goes very high and flies over the keeper for five wides before he manages to see off the rest of the over.
