India Vs Sri Lanka: Dilshan century puts Lanka on top
The match between India and Sri Lanka is poised on an even keel with teams playing well. Sri Lanka however looks in a better position as it has seven wickets in hand, which will help in setting a big total.
INDIA AND Sri Lanka were on an even keel at the close of play on the second day of the first test match being played at Motera in Ahmedabad. Sri Lanka, however, took the honours on the day 2 of the match as it's bowlers bundled India out in the morning, while opener Tillakratne pulverised the bowlers throughout his stay on the crease.
The play closed with Sri Lanka making 275 for 3 wickets powered by a brilliant century by Tillakaratne Dilshan, who fell to a short ball by Zaheer Khan bringing much needed relief to the Indians.
Earlier, Sri Lankan opener Tharanga Paranavitana also played a nice little cameo for his 35. He was caught by M S Dhoni on the bowling of Ishant Sharma, but by than the Sri Lankan inning had got itself to a good start. The star of the day was Tillakaratne Dilshan, who played a brilliant knock and hit boundaries in all parts of the ground. While he was batting Indian bowling looked pedestrian and it seemed as if the bowlers had given up all hopes of getting a wicket. It was only after wily Zaheer Khan took up the Indian cause and bowled some short ones that Sri Lankans were softened a bit. Dilshan lost his wicket while trying to pull Zaheer over midwicket, while Sanggakara was surprised by a rising delivery and he hooked it only to be caught by Sachin Tendulkar at deep square leg boundary.
