LUNCH - DAY 4

India 132-5 (37 ovs) & 312 vs SL 201 | Scorecard


Off-spinner Tharindu Kaushal comes into the attack, to bowl his first over, and the 34th of the innings. Not surprising he oversteps and gifts a no-ball before Naman Ojha steers it through point for two runs.

Prasad bowls a bouncer to Binny who looks out to ramp it over the keeper but fails to make connection but lets the next bouncer go through. Two singles from the last two balls to end the over.

Kaushal bowls it short and wide and Ojha goes back to cut it behind point for his first boundary. He keeps strike with a single from the last ball of the over.

Pradeep comes back, to bowl what looks like the last over of the morning session. Ojha turns the first ball to fine leg for one and Binny, who has shut shop, takes another single to the thirdman region before his partner ends the session with one to deep point.

At lunch on Day 4, India reach 132 for five, for an overal lead of 243 runs. It was a good session for the Indians despite losing the two big wickets of Kohli and Rohit as they scored 111 runs in 28.5 overs in the morning session.

Binny provided the impetus as he chanced his arm around to score 38 from 45 balls, while Ojha was unbeaten on 11.
