First test match of India vs SL is going on in Kolkata.We all know SL is passing bad times and last tour against Pakistan was not good for them.They want to start strongly in India.OTOH,India is on very good form and they have beaten NZ few days ago.And India is very dangerous in home so it will be very hard task for SL to beat india in Kolkata.

Match Update: Play stopped due to bad light, SL took two early wickets of India.India need a big partnership and kohli need to handle this situation.

Very interesting start of this first test between India vs Sri Lanka just 12 overs bowled and India lost 3 wickets 17 runs on board captain also out now surely first day play is end lets see what happen on second day as India is under pressure after very poor start Pujara is still on with Rahane both need to stay for some long time as in test Dhoni is not available man of crisis

Marvelous start by Sri Lankan's, top 3 batsman out in nearly few moments. Virat Kohli being dismissed will put pressure upon their team. Hardik Pandya is even not playing who really is a good player in test as well. Probably about the game result I believe the game will end in a draw, that's a good probability as Weather report has stated it would rain even tomorrow.

Suranga Lakmal has taken three wickets without giving away a single run. His figures of 6-6-0-3 are truly amazing. And the wickets he has taken are all big scalps, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, India will have to play very well to get back into this match.

I don't think anyone was expected this kind of start from SL team. Whether they win or not this match but the first day they totally dominated the match and Suranga will remember this match for his lifetime. It is really a fantastic bowling because so-called best batsman failed to score an even single run in his overs in 36 balls. If they continue similar performance then they can win this match but also depends on how well batsman score runs.

India in the first innings lost 5 wickets just for 74 runs. It is either Indian player's worst batting or SL superb bowling.

Day 2 has ended and India would be happy that rain has come into picture else SL would have easily made India all out in less than 125  runs. On  other hand SL would feel bad that inspite of picking quick wickets 2 days have gone and still only India has lost 5 wickets. This match will  be a draw.

If the match happens for the next 3 days without the interruption rain we can expect result, as pitch is assisting for bowlers especially fast bowlers. India has 3 quality bowlers can take 20 wickets of the opposition team.

I think this match is going to be drawn between India and SL.The day 2 has already finished and india is on a very bad position.They scored only 74 for lose of 5 wickets.India might declare their innings tomorrow or SL will took all the wickets of India.Lakmal is enjoying this test as he took 3 wickets and give just 5 runs.Third day of this match is very important for both team because it may decide this match result.Hoping a great sun-shine day tomorrow.

Why will Indians declare the innings at this situation? No real good batsmen left to play in the first innings so obviously they will try to take it as slow as possible , SL have got a real chance here to dismiss the remaining batsmen by noon and score quick . They can win this one.

Yup the pitch became too worst batsmen are struggling to touch the ball. Suppose the continues without any interrupt then surely we will get a result in this test match. Both teams have quality bowlers in just one day there is a possibility are there to complete 2 innings. But tomorrow also the match stopped means it will become a Draw.

If going by the condition of the pitch, even if India get all out soon then they also got good bowlers who can also claim the wickets and make Sri Lanka get more low score , so not it will be interesting if their is no rain tomorrow then we can see lot of drama in single day.

As said by the weather forecaster, it rained today and ruined the match again, the pitch has turned lethal for the batsman I believe. Even tomorrow they said it would rain but partially and possibility is that it might not rain. If it doesn't it would be great to see the match, but still the pitch would be kind off wet and Batsman will still face problems. And if Sri Lanka gets to bat, I think they might also face the similar issues.

I am really surprised to see India struggling against Srilanka and the weather is playing here and India loosing five wickets even before crossing the three figure mark is a rare instant for a very long time in Indian cricket and i would like to see how this innings end up,India does have a good bowling up to mess up the Srilankan batsmen but the score they put in the first innings is more important and off course the weather.

It looks like all because of rain pitch might be supporting bowlers. They already completed two days in this match but still, India can't able to complete one innings. If this rain continues like this, then we may not get a result from this game. Only Pujara can able to stay and score some decent runs and rest of all the Indian top orders failed to score even ten runs. It is one of the worst batting performance from Indian players.

I think you can't blame everything on the pitch because if a pitch is so bad then how come Pujara is playing so nice?

In a test match, you need to play slowly until you get used to that pitch instead of going after any bowlers from the beginnings. It is actually batsman fault as well or they are so much used to short format games so they can't play slowly test matches.

Am I the only one thinking that team India is hiding behind the pitch and rain is actually saving them, Sri Lanka were considered under dogs and they are currently dominating on the pitch, had this been a proper five day match I don't think team India would have survived it, and this only shows what their performance will be against South Africa, if it doesn't rain next match put money on Lanka and Africa when they come.

SL have really comeback and making the best use of this pitch as its rain affected the pitch is good for the pace bowlers and SL is not letting that away. India are 135/8 and I think around 150 they will be all out. Now only say 2.5 days of play remains that to if there is no rains. It should be difficult for any one to win from  here.

You forget 1 thing, these seamy condition become because of rain, otherwise when did you last time saw so much swinging in India.

Initially, I thought India can give a fight after the batting collapse, but Srilankan batsman looking much comfortable, facing the Indian bowlers comfortably. Only one thing that can India is rain. From this stage, srilanka can't lose this match. India now will have to play for saving the match.

They are in comfortable position now SL team , they gotto post 300 and declare before tomorrow lunch then they have a huge chance of winning this match , if they couldn't post 250 + then it will end as draw . My chips are on SL to win this match .

Sri Lanka is trailing by just more 7 runs in first innings and still, they got another six wickets to build this innings. I think they can add easily another 150+ runs to this total if they play like today. This has proved that SL is not a weak team and they can give a surprise any time. All Indian batsman completely failed to read the pitch and score runs. Just because of last few batsmen they manage to score those 172 runs otherwise they wouldn't have reached that total as well.

Sri Lanka can only play good against India as they are familiar with India players and ground. If on 4th day Sri Lanka are able to put 200+ target for India then i think they can win this test as India Batsman are not able to face Sri Lanka bouwlers. Now This test match has come to a interesting stage even when 2 days were washed out of Rain.
