Hanuma Vihari - 53*

Virat Kohli - 38*

Thats half-way into the second session on Day 1

Drinks break !!

The partnership between these two is going quite nicely and India are in a position of strength now. Both these batters are looking quite comfortable in the middle and apart from Lasith Embuldeniya, Sri Lankan bowlers are not threatening enough these two batters to produce some positive result for the Lankans. They need to break this partnership quickly otherwise a big first innings score is right on the cards!
