S Suresh, who came out with Sriram, was dismissedafter he had only made 15.Hemanth Kumar, who came in at one-down, settled nicely. In the companyof Sriram, he put on 109 runs as the Sri Lankan bowlers struggled.Hemanth made 55 with eight fours before CDCA captain ThilanSamaraweera had him stumped.Sriram then found a good ally in JR Madanagopal. The pair began tomilk the CDCA bowling, and Sriram reached his 100 off 196 balls withfive fours, only to be bowled by Sri Lanka leg-spinner Upul Chandanawithout scoring an additional run.Madanagopal’s vigil ended after he had made 43, as he also fell toChandana. MR Shrinivas, who came in as the nightwatchman, was alsodismissed; Tamil Nadu, thus, suddenly lost the advantage that they hadso painstakingly built up.What will give them heart, though, is the fact that their two seniorplayers – S Sharath and Robin Singh – are at the crease. Robin isbatting on 11 off 12 balls while Sharath is on 17 off 38 balls.
