Sri Lankan top order tumbled on day one of the first cricket Test against India being played in Galle. They were 65 for five at lunch. Skipper A Mathew is at the crease with 26 runs. Spinner R Ashwin captured three wickets while Ishant Sharma and Varun Aaron got one wicket each. The Hosts won the toss and decided to bat first. India are playing the match with five bowlers. Three Spinners Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra and R. Ashwin have been made part of the team. While India will be hoping their Test cricket skills come to the fore, all of the attention in the Sri Lanka camp will be on Kumar Sangakkara, who will retire from all forms of international cricket after the second Test match of this three test series.
