2 Dasun Shanaka snared two wickets for the Sri Lankans. 3 Rahane and Ashwin both were dismissed for four. India's top order bulwark Cheteshwar Pujara resisted Sri Lanka's charge with a gutsy unbeaten 47 before rain returned to wipe out more than two sessions of the second day's play in the opening Test on Friday. When play was called off, Pujara, a model of concentration, stood three runs short of a 16th Test fifty, a knock he would be proud of considering the conditions at Eden Gardens. Shanaka struck in his third over when Rahane chased a wide delivery and nicked a catch to wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella.
