The second cricket Test between India and Sri Lanka meandered to a tame high-scoring draw here today with a staggering 1478 runs being scored over five days on a track which proved to be a graveyard for bowlers
.
With little interest left on a dreary last day, the Indians scored a mammoth 707 all out in the first innings, recording their second-highest total ever largely due to dogged resistance by the last wicket pair of Ishant Sharma (27) and Pragyan Ojha (17).
