GALLE (Sri Lanka) (AFP) - Teenager Ishant Sharma gave a superb display of fast bowling to help India square the series with a 170-run victory over Sri Lanka in the second Test here on Sunday. Sharma finished with 3-20 off 15 testing overs as Sri Lanka were shot out for 136 in their second innings in the closing session on the fourth day chasing a challenging 307-run target. India lost the opening match of the three-Test series by an innings and 239 runs. The final match starts in Colombo on August 8. Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh (4-51) and leg-spinner (2-41) built on Sharma's effort to help their team win with more than a day to spare.Harbhajan, who took six wickets in the first innings, completed his fifth haul of 10 or more wickets in a Test. "I always had faith in my team. We knew we could come back as we have done it in the past. There is no doubt there is enough quality in the team," said India skipper Kumble. "The (90-run) start given by openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir in the second innings was crucial. Then Sharma and Zaheer bowled brilliantly today." The 19-year-old Sharma wrecked Sri Lanka's top order with two quick wickets in a sharp opening spell before returning to break a stubborn partnership in his second spell. Sri Lanka were on the backfoot following Sharma's double-strike before collapsing against spin late in the day. The hosts lost their last five wickets for just six runs, with Harbhajan taking three and Kumble two. "I think 307 was a good total to chase, but the loss of early wickets put us under pressure. Sharma has shown that questions can be asked from batsmen if you bowl in right areas," said Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene. "They (India) played really good cricket as they knew it was a crucial game for them. Our bowlers kept us in the game, but batting let us down. We now need to come back strongly in the final Test."The hosts began the chase on a disastrous note as they lost three wickets for a meagre 10 runs in the opening four overs, with Sharma taking two and left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan one. India's spinners were expected to call the shots on a wearing track but the tourists seized the advantage through their fast bowlers as Sharma unsettled the batsmen with his pace and bounce and Zaheer with his movement. Thilan Samaraweera (67 not out) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (38) alone defied the Indian pace-spin combination with a 76-run stand for the fifth wicket. Sharma broke the stand immediately after the tea-break when he had Dilshan caught by wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik. Harbhajan had Prasanna Jayawardene caught by Sourav Ganguly, who took a well-judged catch at square-leg. Sri Lanka were in deep trouble after losing Kumar Sangakkara (one) and in-form Mahela Jayawardene (five), who were known for playing long innings. Sharma, who removed Malinda Warnapura with his third ball, got the big wicket when he had Jayawardene caught by Rahul Dravid at gully. Jayawardene scored a century in the opening Test and 86 in the first innings here. Zaheer struck in his second over when he dismissed Sangakkara, beaten by the movement to be caught by Venkatsai Laxman at second slip. India earlier faltered against Sri Lankan spinners Ajantha Mendis and Muttiah Muralitharan as they were bowled out for 269 after resuming at 200-4. They lost their last five wickets for 17 runs in a dramatic collapse. Unorthodox spinner Mendis, who took six wickets in the first innings, finished with 4-92 to complete a maiden 10-wicket haul in only his second Test. Muralitharan took two of the six wickets that fell in the morning to finish with 3-107. Sehwag was named man of the match for scoring an unbeaten 201 in the first innings and 50 in the second. "It (double-century) was one of my best knocks as it came at the right time," said Sehwag. "I wanted to bat as long as I can. I don't feel pressure when I go in to bat because my captain and coach have always backed me. I always like to play my shots." SCOREBOARD INDIA, 1st innings: 329 (V. Sehwag 201 not out; A.
