Kanpur, Day 3: India on top as Sreesanth rocks Sri Lanka

Kerala pacer Shanthakumaran Sreesanth made a triumphant return to international cricket, with a devastating display of seam bowling to put India on the threshhold of a comprehensive victory in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Kanpur. Playing his first Test since April last year, Sreesanth claimed five first innings wickets as Sri Lanka were skittled for a meagre 229 in response to India's first innings total of 642. Sreesanth (5-75) joined Kapil Dev (5-110 at Chennai in 1982-83) as the second Indian to bag five wickets in an innings against Sri Lanka in India. Spinners Pragyan Ojha (2-37) and Harbhajan Singh (2-54) wiped off the tail to wrap up the Sri Lankan innings shortly after tea. Forced to follow on, Sri Lanka were 57 for four at stumps after Sreesanth provided the early breakthrough by removing attacking opener Tillakaratne Dilshan for 11. Part-time spinner Virender Sehwag trapped the other opener Tharanga Paranavitana leg before wicket before Mahela Jayawardene and Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara lost their wickets cheaply.

Sri Lanka 229 (Mahela 47, Sangakkara 44, Sreesanth 5-75) and 57/4 trail India 642 (Gambhir 167, Dravid 144, Sehwag 137, Herath 5-121) by 356 runs

Kanpur, Day 2: Sri Lanka chase mammoth total after Herath snares 5 wickets

Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath snared five wickets as he destroyed India's tail, after Rahul Dravid's 28th century took India to an unbeatable position. From 613/4, when Dravid was batting, India collapsed to 642 all out, losing their last six wickets for just 29 runs. However, it was India's seventh highest total in all Tests and second highest against Sri Lanka. Yuvraj Singh (67) and VVS Laxman (63) hit fluent fifties.Rahul Dravid, who reached his second consecutive ton, became Test cricket's fourth highest scorer, surpassing former Australian captain Allan Border. His innings was cut short at 144 runs after he had added 59 runs to his overnight score by a freak run out. Dravid now has 11,182 runs in 136 Tests at an average of 53.50.Sri Lankans lost the wicket of Dilshan, who was out for a first-ball duck, and put on 66 before played ended on day two.

Sri Lanka 66/1 (Sangakkara 30*, Paranavitana 30*) trail India 642 (Gambhir 167, Dravid 144, Sehwag 137, Herath 5-121) by 576 runs

Kanpur, Day 1: India's highest score in a day in test cricket as Sehwag and Gambhir hit centuries
