1st Test: Padikkal, Rahul's Stand Helps India's Lead Swell To 294 Runs At Lunch On Day 4
Galle International Stadium: Devdutt Padikkal and KL Rahul put up a crucial stand of 65 runs for the second wicket in second innings of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka, while Prabath Jayasuriya threatened as the visitors went to lunch 116/4 on Day 4 at the Galle International Stadium.
Padikkal, the first-innings centurion, looked to belt another big knock but was dismissed by the left-arm spinner Jayasuriya a little before the break. Rishabh Pant (21) and Dhruv Jurel (5) remained unscathed with the former having shown a bit of his aggressive glimpse as he hit one six and a four in his 22 balls at the crease, while Jurel was new at the crease, and hit a four in the last over off Jayasuriya as India took their lead to 294 at lunch.
India started Day 4 after bowling the hosts out for 284 with a lead of 178. Sri Lanka got off to a brilliant start when Asitha Fernando removed Yashasvi Jaiswal caught behind. Jaiswal looked to cut the good length ball but the new ball bounced more and it took the top edge for Niroshan Dickwella to grab it behind.
