The start of the second session on the opening day of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka was delayed due to a wet outfield here on Saturday.
The rains arrived here during the lunch break, forcing the ground staff to cover the field while there was a break in play.
India went into the lunch break having made a strong start to their innings, reaching 101 for one. While Yashasvi Jaiswal (32) run out after an unfortunate mix-up with opener KL Rahul in the first session, India continued to consolidate their position.
Devdutt Padikkal (35 not out) played a few attractive strokes while Rahul remained resolute to reach 32 not out when lunch was taken.
