After first Test match against Sri Lanka, India finally managed to have a say in the proceedings. In Day 3’s post-Tea session at Eden Gardens on Saturday.<\/h2>\n

\"kohli-catch\"<\/p>\n

It all started with skipper Virat Kohli taking a blinder of a catch at second slip. To dismiss Lahiru Thirimanne and thus breaking a burgeoning 99-run third-wicket stand with Angelo Mathews.<\/p>\n

It happened off the second ball of the 37th over, bowled by Umesh Yadav. The ball straightened after pitching outside the off. He managed to get a thick outside with the Lankan left-handed batsman failing the control his play.<\/p>\n

India had a horrendous day in the field, dropping catches and indulging in overthrows even as Lanka continued to push towards a good total.<\/p>\n

But it was followed by another wicket, that of Angelo Mathews, who was batting brilliantly until he played a loose shot.<\/p>\n

That happened off the fifth ball of 39th over, again to Umesh Yadav.<\/p>\n

When bad light stopped play, Lanka were 165\/4 with Dinesh Chandimal (13) and Niroshan Dickwella (14) unbeaten. Lanka still trail India by seven runs, and it will be a cracker of a day on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
