SL declared on 600-6..
They played it safe... so lot of pressure on Indian batting line up... Sehwag is already out! First they'll have to avoid the follow on... Indian batting has the potential to do that esp. with the likes of Dravid,Ganguly,Tendulkar..Laxman etc.. It would b interesting to see how they play Mendis!!😛
