India settles for draw

India handed England an unexpected boost ahead of the third npower Test with a misfiring batting performance on the final day of their tour match against Sri Lanka A at Grace Road. Set a victory target of 294 off 57 overs, India struggled to 187 for six as the match petered out into a tame draw. Only Wasim Jaffer and Gautam Gambhir managed half-centuries while Dinesh Karthik, Mahendra Dhoni and VVS Laxman were all dismissed cheaply for the second time in the game.
