India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test, Day 5: Live Streaming And Live Telecast Details - JPKee.com

New Delhi: The fifth and the final day of the first Test match between India and Sri Lanka will play out at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday. The game is expected to begin at 9 am IST to cover up for the lost overs in the match. The match will be telecast on the Star Sports network. The online streaming will be available on Hotstar.

Openers Shikhar Dhawan and Lokesh Rahul made mincemeat of the Sri Lankan bowling attack to help India take a 49 run-lead and end the fourth day at 171/1 on Sunday. Play was called off early due to bad light.

After the tourists put up 294 on the board riding veteran left-arm spinner Rangana Herath’s 67 to take a 122-run lead, Dhawan (94 off 116; 11×4, 2×6) and Rahul (73 not out; 8×4) went through the gears with ease milking the likes of Suranga Lakmal (0/29) and Lahiru Gamage (0/47) around the park.

Dhawan missed out on his seventh hundred in the longest format of the game by six runs. The pair engineered a 166-run stand for the first wicket. Herath (0/25) could not make inroads as Dhawan brought up his fifty off 74 balls, flicking Dilruwan Perera to deep wicket for a single, while Rahul racked up his ninth half-century in 11 matches with a single right of mid-wicket to the same bowler.
