STUMPS - DAY 1

India 344-3 (90 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard


Sri Lanka strike very late in the day with the wicket of Rahane, who is given leg before wicket off Herath for 100. He went back to defend but got a big inside edge on to his pads and umpire Bruce Oxenford has to reverse his decision.

Perera gets one to bounce more than expected as Rahane is struck on the gloves but he manages to keep it down, fending it on the leg side.

Herath to bowl the final over of the day. Rahane slaps the third ball through the covers for a single before Pujara is struck on the pads but the LBW appeal is turned down. He clips the last ball through the leg side for two runs as India finish the day on a strong 344 for three in 90 overs at stumps.

A day dominated by the Indians as they score 106 runs in the post-tea session without losing any wickets.

Pujara finished unbeaten on a splendid innings of 128, while Rahane hit 103 with the duo involved in an unbroken stand of 211 for the fourth wicket to put India in control.
