SL 201-all out (52.2 ovs) vs India 312 | Scorecard


Prasad into the attack. Prasad hits the first ball past point for two runs as Mishra does well to keep it inside the ropes and he takes a single from the next ball to mid-on.

Two more singles from the last two deliveries as Prasad manages to keep the strike for the next over.

Ishant continues his ploy of peppering the tailenders with short balls especially Prasad.

He pulls it awkwardly over midwicket for two runs before getting a thick outside edge to the next one, over the slips for a four. Another short ball is pulled over midwicket for two runs before Ishant pitches one up which Prasad hammers through the off-side for a four.

Prasad has raced to 27 from 21 balls despite an injury to his hand and is doing well to cut down India's lead.

He falls in the next over as he comes down the track to Mishra but is beaten in the flight and Ojha completes an easy stumping.

Sri Lanka are bowled out for 201 in 52.2 overs to give India a 111-run first innings lead.

Ishant was the wrecker-in-chief for India as he took five for 54 in 15 overs, while Binny and Mishra claimed two wickets each while Yadav was unlucky to end up with just one wicket. But interestingly, Ashwin went wicketless in his eight overs as the pacers made most of some help from the pitch.
