Twitter reacts to India's fightback after Herath's half century
BCCI
India finally showed some of the batting that fans are accustomed to seeing against the Sri Lankans in Kolkata as KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan led the charge for the hosts. The Twitterati were quick to appreciate the effort of the Indian openers and Rangana Herath, who scored a brilliant fifty.
Brief scores: India 172/10 & 171/1ย (Shikhar Dhawan 94, KL Rahul 73*; Dashun Shanak 29/1) lead Sri Lanka 294/10 (Rangana Herath 67, Angelo Mathews 52; Mohammad Shami 4/100, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 4/88) by 49 runs.

Why though?
India spinners bowled just 9 overs - 8 by Ashwin, 1 by Jadeja.

It is the least overs by the spinners for India in the first innings at home. #IndvsSL
Some wise words from Sanjay
Idea is to arrive at the right decision. Have no issue with players seeking hints from dressing room on DRS call within the 15 secs. The rule could change.#IndvsSL #ICC
