India fightback to save Test after Lankan run feast

India fought back gallantly in their bid to save the first cricket Test but were still not completely out of danger after Sri Lanka piled up the agony on the hosts with a record-breaking run deluge in Ahmedabad on Thursday.


First Innings

India 426

Sri Lanka 760/7 declare

Second Innings

India 190/2 (45.0 over)

After being buried by a massive 334-run first innings lead mainly built around a world record sixth wicket partnership between Mahela Jayawardene (275) and Prasanna Jayawardene (154 not out), the Indians reached 190 for two in their second innings at stumps on the penultimate day, still trailing by 144 runs.
