#1 Sri Lanka's batting woes continue

Sri Lanka needed a solid start in their second innings to put the hosts to a test, but were pegged back immediately when Sadeera Samarawickrama's tour got even worse. He tried to stay away from an Ishant Sharma bouncer but gloved it and gave a catch to the gully fielder leaving Sri Lanka reduced to 14/1.
Dimuth Karunaratne has so often been Lanka's saviour in the fourth innings, where he averages much higher than most batsmen in international cricket, but he couldn't live up to the expectations in the ongoing series. An arm ball from Jadeja ended Karunaratne's vigil and the left-arm spinner then cleaned up nightwatchman, Suranga Lakmal, three balls later.
