Twitter Reactions: India ahead as Sangakkara falters on day 2

Twitter Reactions: India ahead as Sangakkara falters on day 2: Today when India started the day at 319-6 they were looking for a total in excess of 400 runs. But when Ashwin got out early Indian hopes must have taken a back seat as they have been quite familiar with lower-order collapses in the recent years. But Wriddhiman Saha and Amit Mishra steadied the ship with their 46 run stand for the 8^th wicket. Saha completed his 2^nd half-century with the help of which India posted 393 runs on the board.

When Sri Lankan openers came out to bat the comeback man Umesh Yadav struck with his 1^st ball when he got the red cherry to jag back and the ball kissed Karunaratne’s pads. That brought Kumar Sangakkara to the crease and he added 74 runs for the 2^nd wicket with Kaushal Silva before he became Ashwin’s victim for 3^rd time in as many innings. When the day ended Sri Lanka was 140-3 still trailing by 253 runs.

Here are Twitter Reactions: India ahead as Sangakkara falters on day 2:
