India negated Sri Lanka's toss advantage by bundling the tourists out for a sub-par 205 on Day One of the second Test here at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. Sri Lanka suffered a dramatic collapse in the final session, not unlike the one in Kolkata, as they lost six wickets for 45 runs. The triumvirate of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma shared the wickets between them, with Ashwin bagging four and the other two three apiece. On a pitch offering negligible assistance to any bowler in particular, the spinners used their angles intelligently and bowled a wicket-to-wicket line.
