Ishant to resume proceedings after the lunch break. And he doesn't take long to strike, getting a wicket with the second delivery of the session.

Left-hander Thirimanne (0) edges one and is caught by Rahul at second slip, who does well to hold on to a low catch in front of first slip.

Sri Lanka continue to slip as they are reduced to 47 for six.

New batsman Dhammika Prasad gets a nasty bouncer first up which hits him on the gloves as he looks to fend. He is considerable pain at the moment after the blow on his left hand. Prasad, who bowled his heart out for Sri Lanka, was also struggling with a sore neck and now this painful blow. Nothing going right for the Sri Lankans at the moment!

Prasad retires hurt after that blow as Rangana Herath walks into bat in his place. Kushal Perera gets his first runs in Test cricket as he punches a full delivery down the ground past mid-off for a four.

In the next over, Herath gets off the mark with two runs through the covers followed by a four fine on the leg side.
