India off to a good star after SL take 122-run lead

November 19, 2017 13:54

India 36-0 (10 ovs) & 172 vs SL 294 | Scorecard

Dasun Shanaka comes into the attack in place of Lakmal, who bowled just two overs with the new ball and gone back into the dressing room.

Rahul gets a single off the second ball before Dhawan defends the rest of the over as he looks keen to see off the new ball.

Rahul slaps a wide full delivery from Gamage square on the off-side for a four as he continues his positive start.

He plays a rare loose shot as he looks to leave a wide delivery from Shanaka but is deceived by the incoming delivery which hits him on the pads but he has shuffled well outside the off-stump and leg before wicket appeal is turned down.

A couple of singles for the two openers as India reach 36 for no loss in 10 overs, with Rahul on 20 and Dhawan on 14. They still trail Sri Lanka by 86 runs.
