By Cricket ~ July 23rd, 2008. Filed under: India, Sri Lanka, Test Match, cricket.
At the end of the day, Sri Lanka is sitting at 85-2. The major highlights include the fantastic half century by Warnapura(50 off 74 balls).Mahela Jayawardhane won the toss and decided to bat. The heavy rain overnight and the soggy outfield made it difficult for the play to begin. However, the play was cut short and the players came out. There was an impressive batting performance by the Sri Lankans, on the other hand, India could grab only two wickets. One by Ishant Sharma and the other by Zaheer Khan.
The first day of the play was pretty light, however the bowlers will be put to task once the weather improves and there is sun all over the place. Watch the video highlights and keep hitting this space for more on the test match!
