India bowl out Sri Lanka for 205 in 2nd Test

Fast bowler Ishant Sharma worked with India's spinners to bowl out Sri Lanka for 205 on the opening day of the second Test on Friday.

Ravichandran Ashwin claimed four wickets while fellow spinner Ravindra Jadeja and Sharma took three each. The tourists lost six wickets in the final session in Nagpur.

Skipper Dinesh Chandimal top-scored with 57 while opener Dimuth Karunaratne made 51 on a green pitch that helped India's fast bowlers.

Sharma, who got Karunaratne in the second session, made most of the favourable conditions to claim his three wickets for just 37 runs.

The spinners took over to rattle the Sri Lankan batting. Ashwin trapped Chandimal lbw to make the visitors slip further.

Chandimal, who hit a six in his 122-ball knock, was given not out by the on-field umpire but skipper Virat Kohli called for a review which went in India's favour.

Chandimal and Karunaratne put on a crucial 62-run stand for the fourth wicket before the Indian bowlers struck back.

Wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella also tried to resist before falling to Jadeja's left-arm spin.

The two teams are fighting to get ahead in the three-Test series after the opening game ended in a draw at Kolkata's Eden Gardens.
