GALLE: Play resumed post lunch on the first day of the opening Test between India and Sri Lanka after a rain delay which lasted for more than an hour here on Saturday.

Rains had arrived during the lunch break till which India had reached a strong position of 101 for one.

KL Rahul (32 not out) and Devdutt Padikkal’s (35 not out) unbeaten 54-run stand for the second wicket consolidated India's position after opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's unfortunate run out.

Rahul and Jaiswal put on 47 runs for the first wicket before a horrible mix-up between the two, which also had the latter falling to the ground after colliding with the bowler.
