Sri Lanka Cricket XI reached 363/8 at stumps on Day 1 of their three-day warm-up against India in Colombo on Friday, after openers Nishan Madushka (66) and Ravindu Rasantha (71) added 110 for the first wicket. Spinners Ravindra Jadeja, Manav Suthar and Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets each to pull India back. India captain Shubman Gill missed the day due to a finger injury sustained in practice, with KL Rahul leading the side. The two-Test series begins in Galle on 15 August.
