India aim for early wickets at Galle
Sri Lanka may have reached a strong position in the first Test after a good show by their batsmen on the opening day but India coach Gary Kirsten is hopeful of bouncing back. The hosts reached an impressive 256 for two before rain and bad light combined to force early stumps. Indian coach Kirtsen said it was not all over for India and that weather will play an important role in the match. He also backed Ishant Sharma despite an ordinary show by the gangly paceman. Kirsten also revealed that spinner Harbhajan Singh played despite not being fully fit. The seasoned spinner had also missed the only warm up game before the Test match.
