India 17-3 (11.5 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

The lights haven't improved sufficiently as the umpires call it stumps on Day 1.

India's top order struggled on a green wicket in overcast conditions to be reduced to 17 for three in 11.5 overs at stumps on the rain-hit opening dday.

Suranga Lakmal produced a superb spell with the new ball, claiming three wickets in six runs without conceding a run in his six overs.

Cheteshwar Pujara was battling hard on eight from 43 balls at stumps, while Ajinkya Rahane was yet to open his account.

KL Rahul was dismissed off the first ball of the match as he was caught behind for a duck, while his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan was bowled off an inside edge for eight.

The biggest blow for India was the dismissal for captain Virat Kohli for a duck as he was dismissed leg before wicket.

There is forecast of more rain in the next day or two in Kolkata and we could be set for more frustrating weather in the coming days.
