2:31 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- Sri Lanka all out for 109

 

And it seems that the last wicket has fallen as Rishabh Pant appeals for stumping and the replays show that Vishwa Fernando's foot is in the air as Pant removes the bails and it's all over for Sri Lanka in the first innings for 109. It is the second-lowest Sri Lankan total against India. Just 35 balls is what it took for India to get things done with this afternoon. They now have a first-innings lead of 143 runs and would look to play out the entire day today and add as many runs as possible. 

 

For India, Bumrah picked five wickets while Shami and Ashwin picked two each and Charith Asalanka was removed by Axar Patel

2:23 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- Five wicket haul for Bumrah

 

This is a brilliant bouncer from Jasprit Bumrah as he hurried on Dickwella, who was slow to get his bat out of the line and edged the ball to Rishabh Pant who gleefully took it and with this wicket, it now also becomes the first five-wicket haul for Bumrah in Indian conditions. Sri Lanka are now nine down for 100

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- Eight down, Sri Lanka reach 100

 

After blocking four Ashwin deliveries, Surnaga Lakmal, playing his last Test, couldn't block more and went for the expensive hoik and got a four as well. That four brought up the 100 for Sri Lanka and egged on by that, Lakmal went for another expensive shot and was bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin through the bat

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- Bumrah strikes, Sri Lanka lose early wicket

 

And here is the wicket that India would have wanted as Jasprit Bumrah bowled a short ball and instead of ducking, Lasith Embuldeniya tried to pull it and got high on the bat and was caught easily by Rishabh Pant behind the stumps. 

2:01 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- What does Sri Lanka need to do

 

First things first, Niroshan Dickwella need to manage to develop trust between himself and the tailenders and bat as much as possible, letting the tailenders bat for as little as possible. Most possibly, try and get his team as close as possible to 150. Post 150, anything would be a bonus for the team from where they are currently at 86/6

1:47 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- What does the pitch look like?

 

Ajit Agarkar and Deep Dasgupta on the square say that the pitch is definitely going to assist spin and if the pattern of the first day follows then batting under lights won't be easy tonight as well. More or less, India could eventually get the Sri Lankan team all out for less than 100 even

1:43 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- Listen to what Shreyas Iyer had to say about Day 1

1:42 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- Are you ready for the action?

1:41 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 2- Time for some action

 

If nothing else, the pitch would behave even worse and there is huge doubt as to whether even Sri Lanka would be able to get past the 150 mark now that they have lost six wickets for 86 runs. The Indian bowlers will be raring to and it is at this premise that we at BS Web welcome you to the second day's coverage of India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test from the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. 

9:30 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 1- This is where the game stands

9:29 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 1- What's ahead on Day 2?

 

By the looks of it, this match could well be finished in three days if India are able to get the remaining four Sri Lankan wickets in the first session on Day 2 with a lead of more than 120 and then utilise the remaining two sessions and the first session of Day 3 to score 250 to add to the lead. In the remaining two sessions, with the kind of bowling that India possess, and the amount of turn available on this wicket, the game might be well over. 

9:26 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 1- Most wickets on the first day of Pink Ball Test

 

A total of 16 wickets fell on the first day of India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test as India were all out for 252 and Sri Lanka lost six wickets for 86 runs. Among the wicket-takers were Sri Lanka's Praveen Jayawickrama, Lasith Embuldeniya and India's Jasprit Bumrah, each of whom picked three wickets. India's Mohammad Shami and Sri Lanka's Dhananjaya de Silva picked two wickets each as well while one wicket each went to Axar Patel and Suranga Lakmal and Mayank Agarwal was run out 

9:18 PM

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 1- Sri Lanka finish at 86-6

 

And at 09:15 Local Timne in Bengaluru, the players would head back to the dressing room for one last time as the first day of India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test has come to an end. India would be the happiest side out of the two obviously as they were able to get 252 even as they struggled at 92-4 in the first session and then in the last session, were able to take six wickets and are ahead by 167 runs from the visitors on the first-innings basis.
