Sri Lanka were pretty flat with the ball earlier in the day and that made life difficult for their batters in this final session. The quality of the Indian bowling attack challenged them regularly, though Sri Lankan openers showed a great fight starting off in a solid manner, they could not carry on and eventually perished. Sri Lanka lost four wickets at the end and that will hurt them going into Day 3. Skipper, Dimuth Karunaratne and Mathews were looking quite good while they were in the middle but with both the senior batters back into the hut, now it is upto the young guns from Sri Lanka to bail them out. Overall, a perfect day for India and Sri Lanka would need a lot of things to go their way on Day 3 to stay in this game.
