The Story in Brief
India’s pace bowlers struggled to break through on the first day of their tour match against a Sri Lanka Cricket XI in Colombo. The home side’s batsmen batted steadily, keeping the Indian seamers wicketless for most of the day. The warm-up game is part of India’s preparation for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.

A single day of a tour game is too early to judge India’s pace attack, but the narrative that subcontinent pitches blunt their threat will only grow if the bowlers fail to strike early in the Test. The real test is not this warm-up but whether the batsmen can cash in against a second-string attack. Watch for the number of wickets India’s seamers take in the first innings of the match, that will separate noise from fact.
