Sreesanth puts India on the threshold of victory

S Sreesanth marked his return to international cricket with a devastating display of seam bowling to put India on the threshhold of a remarkable victory in the second Test against a hapless Sri Lanka here on Thursday.

Sreesanth, staging a comeback after being in the wilderness for close to 18 months, snatched 5 for 75 in Sri Lanka's first innings and then drew first blood in the second innings to leave the islanders in complete disarray.
