First test: Sri Lanka 91/1 against India at lunch

Sri Lanka were 91 for 1 at lunch in the opening test against India at Galle International Stadium. Tilakratne Dilshan scored 25 runs before he was caught behind by Skipper Dhoni on Abhimanyu Mithun's ball. Earlier, Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. A special gold coin was used for the toss with Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan's face on one side and some of his masterly stats on the other. This is Muralitharan's swansong Test who is eight wickets away of touching the unprecedented 800-wicket mark. For India, Abhimanyu Mithun makes the Test debut while Pragyan Ojha will share spin duties with Harbhajan Singh. Rahul Dravid needs 30 more runs to reach 9000 runs while batting at number three in Tests.
