Batting : India
Bowling : Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka beat India by an innings and 239 runs. All thanks to the pitch which was mainly in favour of the hosts. On the first day the pitch supported the Lankans on which they scored 600 runs very easily. But when India came out to bat it seemed like India were batting on a fifth day wicket. It had nothing in it for the pacers. It was a purely spin wicket on which the Lankan spinners took 19 out of the 20 wickets falling. The pace bowlers were only used to depreciate the shine of the ball. Overall a one sided affair in which the Lankan tigers were victorious. Many contenders for the Man of the Match award but it was Muralidaran who bagged it for the 19th time with a match haul of 11-110. Thank you for being with us through out our coverage of the match. Do join us for our coverage of the second Test starting from 31st July. Till then have a nice time.

Yet another long session for the visitors as the Lankan batsmen stuck to their task of scoring runs. Dilshan became the fourth batsmen to notch up a century for Sri Lanka in this innings.

The track hasnt improved much and one needs to spare a thought for the bowlers. One big change in the India's performance was their improved fielding standards since yesterday.

It was an auspicious day yesterday as it was the implementation day of the umpire referral system. Kumble used it twice but failed to get a positive answer wheras Dilshan who was given marching orders by the umpire used it once and got it right. But later replays showed that Dilshan had edged the ball before his bat hit the ground. So there are still some pores in the new referral system.
It was a 'TON' dominated day 2 where Warnapura, Jayawardena and Samaraweera made merry and toyed with the Indian bowling. Kumble will have his eyes on when Jayawardena will declare.
There was drizzle in the morning but now it has passed away. The pitch was not disturbed by the drizzle an it is still a good flat wicket. But there are chances of uneven bounce from the wicket.
Play on day 3 is about to begin. Lets join the commentary.

Welcome to the first Test between Sri Lanka and India. Lots of things to be watched for in this series. Firstly eyes will be on 'The Mystery Spinner' Ajantha Mendis created a havoc in the Asia Cup Final. Secondly, the world will have its eyes glued on the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar who needs just 172 runs to surpass Brian Lara's worls record. Apart from Mendis and Tendulkar there are two more silent assassins who may go unnoticed; Muralidaran and Gambhir. Gambhir was in prime from in the ODI's he played this year. Murali's form need not be defined as we all know what he can do on his day. Another thing to watch for is the introduction of the new referral system. The news from SSC, Colombo is not great as the ground has been covered up. The reason being that the clouds have been spitting since last night. Match might not get underway on time, it will be a delayed start. More bad news, as it is drizzling at the SSC. News from the SSC is that it is still raining and the covers are covered with water. So even if the rain stops it will take nearly 2 hours to to clear the water. According to the umpires play is still on the cards if the rain stops. The rain is back on, lots of dejected faces on the ground. Hats off to the groundsmen who are working very hard to get the water off the covers but the rain GOD seems merciless. Finally some goods news from the SSC. The rain has stopped and the covers are off. Lunch will be taken at 12 15 local time. The umpires will have an inspection at 1 00 local time. Finally good news from the SSC. The sun has come out and is shining brightly. The umpires have said that play will get underway at 3 30 local time. 42 overs will be bowled.
