India batsmen dominate Sri Lanka

Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag hit hundreds as India dominated the first day of the second test against Sri Lanka.
Gambhir (167) and Sehwag (131), which was eliminated without scoring by Mahela Jayawardene, put on 233 after India won the toss and elected to bat in Kanpur.
Muttiah Muralitharan removed both men on either side of tea, but Rahul Dravid (85 not out) and Sachin Tendulkar (20 not out) led India to 417-2 at stumps.
It was the first time that India had made 400 in one day in a test.
Kumar Sangakkara's depleted attack was hammered by the park as a higher order of India said there was no capitulation as in the first test at Ahmedabad.
Sehwag, 31, was unusually harsh in the first hour and was abandoned by Jayawardene at first slip before he could leave the brand, before moving on to dominate the open position.
He broke the chains of driving Angelo Mathews for their first place at the border over 12 and followed that with a pull to mid-stop fence in the same envelope.
Sehwag then jumped ahead of Gambhir and reached his 16th Test century off just 97 deliveries by turning Muralitharan a limit to the fine leg.
Muralitharan hammered three boundaries consecutive Sehwag as India past the 200 accelerated in the afternoon session and accumulate runs at breakneck pace, before Muralitharan made the breakthrough.
Sehwag led to a delivery with a little more air and chose Tillakaratne Dilshan at extra cover.
Gambhir's 28 years of age, who had provided the initial impetus, fell as he approached his century, but we arrived in style, without going through the track to hit Rangane Herath for a straight boundary.
It was his eighth century and the second in succession after a century in the second entries Ahmedabad.
Along with Dravid, Gambhir added 137 for the second window, before Muralitharan ripped a brilliant caught and pulled to the second window of Sri Lanka at the time.
Dravid reached his half century - 58 years in the tests - by sweeping Muralitharan for one and he and Tendulkar played with caution to finish the day without losing.
Ajantha Mendis, who took the injured player Dammika Prasad fast side, admitted 87 of 19 acquisitions, while Herath - the third specialist spinner in Sri Lanka attack - 91 from 18 overs leaked.
Muralitharan, whose form has been questioned in recent times, finished with figures of 2-100 from 18 overs.
