Srilankan begin their tour on a high, in the first session of the first test is dominated by srilanka, even thought they lost their first choice bowler Nuvan kulasekkara and Thilan Thushara due to injury in last minute. But their inexperienced pacer gave srilanka a perfect start, by rattled Indian top order. But not able to capitalize from there, the Wall is saver for the Indian team he shown his classical touch by piling up 177 runs in first days itself. Dravid scored his 27th century in test cricket. This is fastest 150 runs scored by the wall never because the wall was known for this steady and elegance. By the way India has saved first day. Second day was unlucky for Indian. Then srilankan opener set up prefect start with dilshan scoring century make the things easy for follower. Then mahela came into the picture and payback last year revenge. By reachign double ton and supporting prasana to hold his nerves guiding him get his second test ton. So srilankan reach massive score 760. One more peculiar thing in the inning is a record. That is a sixth wicket partnership record has been broken after 72years.by Jayewardene and Jayewardene duo on 4th day of the first test. Additional fact is that this is second time where both the keeper have scored a ton in the same test match.
