The second test between India and Sri Lanka got underway today at Galle. India came into this Test match with an innings defeat loss. India won the toss and elected to bat first. Both Sehwag and Gambhir played patiently for a while after which Sehwag cut loose. Both the openers played with atmost freedom till lunch. India were 151 for no loss at lunch. It looked as though the Mendis Murali magic was over. There was a rain delay for about three hours. Play resumed and India kept losing wickets in regular intervals. Mendis broke through Gambhir and Dravid's defenses. Vaas on the other end got rid of Sachin and Ganguly in successive overs. However Sehwag carried on playing brilliant and along with Laxman took the score past the 200 mark. At stumps India were 214 for 4. The good news for India is that Sehwag is still there with a score of 128.
