Warnapura was supported by his captain Mahela Jayawardene, who compiled a classy half-century to grind the opposition on a slow pitch and the Indians compounded their woes with a couple of missed opportunities.
Sri Lanka added 120 runs without losing a wicket and the batsmen never looked in trouble. A front-foot no-ball by Zaheer Khan in the sixth over of the day denied India a breakthrough as Warnapura spooned a sharp return catch. Jayawardene was as fortuitous later on, when Dinesh Karthik failed to hold on to a thin bottom edge off an Anil Kumble slider.
