India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test, Day 5

Match report | Scorecard | Complete coverage

The Sri Lankan team celebrates after the fall of Rahul Dravid's wicket during the fifth day of the first Test, at the M A Chidambaram stadium in Chennai, on Tuesday.

India's captain added just two runs to his overnight score of 30 before being caught behind by Kumara Sangakkara off left-armer Chaminda Vaas. Vaas bowled an exemplary spell of seven consecutive maiden overs in the morning.

The visitors reached 168 for four in their first innings in reply to India's 167 all out as match ended in a draw.

The Test began after tea on the fourth day after the first three days were abandoned without a ball being bowled due to incessant rains.
