TEA- DAY 2

SL 38-1 (7 ovs) vs India 600 | Scorecard

New batsman Danushka Gunathilaka is beaten by Shami as he goes after a wide one but misses. And he is beaten again in the next over this time by Umesh, who also gets the ball to move away enough from the left-hander.

Gunathilaka finally gets one off the middle as he punches Shami through the off-side for a four and then takes two runs on the leg side before he ends the over with another boundary.

Tharanga also finally gets going with three boundaries off Umesh, in the sixth over. The left-hander cuts a short wide delivery from Umesh over point before guiding the next ball square and ends the over with a wonderful stroke through the covers.

Tharanga on the attack as he plays another uppish cut shot over the thirdman region off Shami for a four. He gets a single off the next ball to deep point to race to 24 from 12 balls before his partner blocks the rest of the over.

Sri Lanka have played positively to reach 38 for one in seven overs at the tea interval on Day 2 in reply to India's 600 all out.

Tharanga has batted positively to stroke 24 from 14 balls, while Gunathilaka has made 12 from 18 balls.
