Sri Lanka started strongly against India

Sri Lanka posted an intimidating 289/6 batting first in their Tri-Series match against India.

Mahela Jayawardene and Tillakaratne Dilshan put on 95 for the first wicket, but a Virender Sehwag stunner sent the skipper packing for 45, before the middle order used the long handle in the later overs.

With 290 to chase India needed their top order to fire, but it was the Sri Lankan bowlers doing the early damage.

Since then Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina have somewhat streakily steadied the ship, but after they added 92 runs the Sri Lankans finally held a catch.

A short time ago India were 162/4 after 34 overs.
