1st Test: India 74/5 on 2nd day against Sri Lanka

India were 74 for 5 on a second consecutive rain-curtailed day of the opening cricket Test in Kolkata today.After Suranga Lakmal's 3 exploits on the first day, Dasun Shanaka's twin strike kept the hosts under check. He returned with impressive figures of 2 for 23, claiming the wickets of Ajinkya Rahane and Ravichandran Ashwin who scored 4 runs each. However, Cheteshwar Pujara was the lone Indian batsmen to produce some fight against the Sri Lankan bowling attack in overcast conditions.He remained unbeaten with 47 at stumps. Wridhhiman Saha was the other batsman at the crease with 6 runs to his credit. While the match started early today, lunch was taken 10 minutes ahead of schedule as it started pouring in the middle again. No play was possible after lunch forcing the umpires to call off day's proceedings prematurely again.
