No one told Kanpur that Tests are dying
The dull draw at Ahmedabad might not have been the best advertisement for Test cricket but it didn't stop the crowd from flocking to the Green Park Stadium where, against the predictions of a low attendance, over 25,000 turned up on Tuesday to watch the first day of the second Test between India and Sri Lanka.

Lucknow brought luck, feels Tanmay
UP's star cricketer Tanmay Srivastava simply loves to bat against Delhi. And he has reason to feel so. He scripted his maiden Ranji century against Delhi in January, 2008. The occasion was the Ranji final against Delhi at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. He had to fly back for the match from the India Under-19 tour of South Africa where he was doing a good job for the national team. Though UP could not win the match but the youngster justified his recall with a knock of 105 runs � his first First-class century.

India up the tempo in Kanpur

UP make wayward Delhi pay
