In reply, Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma were attacked through spin right from the beginning. While Mayank started safely, Rohit tried to play his shots as the duo added 42 runs. 

Mayank finally edged one to the slips after scoring 22 runs. The spinning track kept the Sri Lankans interested but Rohit and Hanuma Vihari safely took India to the Tea with the scoreboard reading 61/1.
