Mumbai, December 02: India fought back in splendid fashion with three quick wickets in the second session of play on the opening day of the third and final cricket Test against Sri Lanka at the Brabourne Stadium here today.
From 117 for one at lunch, the visitors slid to 188 for four before recovering again to reach 213 for four wickets at tea.
Opener Tilekaratne Dilshan stood as the biggest stumbling block for India with an attractive unbeaten 99, one run short of his 11th Test hundred, after adding 25 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket with all rounder Angelo Mathews, unconquered on 8 at the end of the second session that produced 96 runs in 29 overs.
