Kanpur, Nov 26 (PTI) S Sreesanth's five-wicket haul rocked Sri Lanka and the islanders were on the verge of follow on at tea on the third day of their second cricket Test against India here today.
In reply to India's mammoth first innings total of 642, Sri Lanka were tottering at 219 for eight at tea.

Muttiah Muralitharan (6) and Chanaka Welegedara (3) were in the middle at the break with Sri Lanka trailing the hosts by a massive 423 runs.

Sreesanth was the pick of the Indian bowlers today, claiming five for 75. Back in the side after 19 months in the wilderness, the Kerala pacer grabbed, with both hands, what the Green Park track had to offer.

He got rid of both the overnight batsmen and could have added Mahela Jayawardene to his scalp but for a confusion between Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar.
