India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test Day 4: Sri Lanka lead India by 122 runs thanks to Herath's fifty
A rarity is on the cards on the fourth day of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka. After a demolition show in Sri Lanka in the three Tests, India are going to concede first innings lead and the islanders would deserve every bit of it.
The credit, largely, goes to Lahiru Thirimanne and Angelo Mathews who struck defiant fifties on the third day to put together 99 runs and take Sri Lanka towards a deficit of just 7 runs. At early stumps, due to fading light, Sri Lanka stood at 165/4 – without the duo – and still looking reasonably comfortable. Indian seamers, like their Sri Lankan counterparts, achieved plenty of lateral movement from the word go and are expected to get the same on Sunday.
