Shanaka had figures of 3\/16.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera (2\/14) also bowled well, picking up a couple of wickets, including that of star batsman Yuvraj Singh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ravichandran Ashwin scored an unbeaten 31 to be the highest scorer for India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked to bat first on a green wicket, the Indian batsmen struggled to cope with the appreciable swing and off-the-pitch movement generated by the Lankan pacers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rajitha handed Sri Lanka the advantage right at the start by dismissing Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Raane in the opening over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rohit virtually gifted away his wicket, placing a lofted drive off Rajitha neatly into the hands of Dushmantha Chameera at long-off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rahane also fell to a careless shot, offering and easy upper edge to Dinesh Chandimal at short extra cover while attempting to play across the line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The right-arm pacer should have bagged another wicket in his second over when Suresh Raina was surprised by the extra bounce of a short pitched delivery. The upper edge carried to third man where Danushka Gunathilaka dropped a sitter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shikhar Dhawan enjoyed no such luck a short while later when he attempted to smash a slightly outgoing delivery to the leg-side. The ball took the flew off the top edge to third man where Gunathilaka made amends for his previous error.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>When Shanaka sent back Raina and India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni with a couple of beautiful deliveries in the ninth over, India were in deep trouble at 51\/5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin tried to produce a late fight-back lower down the order, but rapidly ran out of partners as wickets continued to fall at the other end.<\/p>\r\n",
