Another big shout for a LBW at the fag end of the day, it's given not out and India decides against reviewing it. Was that the last over for the day? No. Another over will be bowled and India look to pile more pressure on this wobbly Sri Lanka lineup. Ashwin to bowl and it's a relatively uneventful over as the SL batsmen survive. That's the end of day's play. SL 108/4 after 43 overs. And that's stumps.
That's another wicket and it's another LBW. We are getting a boatload of them today. Sri Lanka review though. Jadeja looks pretty confident. And that's a correct review and Asalanka breathes a sigh of relief and so does Sri Lanka. SL 108/4 after 40 overs.
That's another one!!! Another big appeal and de Silva has to walk back. Ashwin takes his second wicket of the match as Sri Lanka wobble. Sri Lanka 103/4 after 38.1 overs.
Gone!!!! Will Angelo review? Yes he reviews for the LBW decision. It's the umpire's call and that's been given out. What a breakthrough for India and Bumrah. HUGE HUGE wicket. SL 96/3 after 34 overs.
Nissanka cleaned up by Bumrah but oh no, he has overstepped. That's a no ball. Very fortunate for Sri Lanka and tough break for India. SL 83/2.
It's now time for drinks as Sri Lanka looks to rebuild their momentum on the back of Pathum Nissanka and Angelo Mathews. They have ensured Sri Lanka reach 79/2 after 30 overs.
And is that the second Sri Lanka wicket??? Batsman reviews. And it's the Sri Lankan skipper who has to depart. It's an LBW. Sri Lanka 2 down. SL 59/2 after 24.2 overs.
R Ashwin strikes and India has the first wicket. Ashwin traps Lahiru Thirimanne in front. The Sri Lankan opener departs for 17. This is the sixth time Ashwin has dismissed Thirimanne in Test cricket. IND (574 for 8 declared) vs SL (48 for 1 in 18.2 overs)
A back-to-back boundary off Jayant Yadav by the Lahiru Thirimanne has broken the shackles and helped the scoreboard move. IND (574 for 8 declared) vs SL (41 for 0 in 15 overs)
Indian spinners are tightening the screws. The Ashwin-Yadav pair has bowled four maidens on the trot. The Sri Lankan openers are just trying to negotiate both the off-spinners. IND (574 for 8 declared) vs SL (24 for 0 in 12 overs)
Jayant Yadav from the other end now, Both the off-spinners are operating against both the left-handed Sri Lankan openers. IND (574 for 8 declared) vs SL (24 for 0 in 10 overs)
The formalities are done with pacers. Here is Ravichandran Ashwin with the four over old new ball. With both Karunaratne and Thirimanne being the southpaws, it is a no brainer why Rohit brought in Ashwin so early. IND (574 for 8 declared) vs SL (21 for 0 in 5 overs)
Sri Lanka has started steady with Karunaratne and Thirimanne already itting 2 fours in 3 overs. Sri Lanka are 14/0 after 3 overs. They'll look to continue in this way if they have any chance of reaching the astronomical target that India has set.
Karunaratne and Thirimanne are at the crease. Karunaratne is on strike. Shami will open the attack. Virat Kohli gets a guard of honour by the Indian players.

India declared their first innings at 574 for 8 in the first Test match against Sri Lanka at Mohali. Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten on 175 runs. IND: (574 for 8 in 129.2 overs) vs SL
Ravindra Jadeja (173 not out) and Mohammed Shami (18 not out) has put on a 100-run stand for the ninth wickets. The previous highest partnership for the ninth wicket between Sourav Ganguly and Abey Kuruvilla at the same venue in 1997. IND: (572 for 8 in 129 overs) vs SL
Ravindra Jadeja has surpassed Kapil Dev (163) to become the leading run-scorer in a Test inning. He is inching close to his maiden double hundred. IND: (562 for 8 in 128 overs) vs SL
Now Shami has joined the party. Embuldeniya pitches it short and Shami backs up and cuts it down to the point for the second boundary of his innings. The duo have already put on an unbeaten 74-run stand for the ninth wicket. IND: (545 for 8 in 126 overs) vs SL
Ravindra Jadeja brings up his 150 and the 50-run stand with Mohammed Shami for the ninth wicket. Interestingly, Shami's contribution is 0. IND: (525 for 8 in 123.1 overs) vs SL
First time in 23 Test matches India have scored 500 runs. Ravindra Jadeja is playing with the field now, he is literally toying with Sri Lankan attack. IND: (508 for 8 in 120. 5 overs) vs SL
Ravindra Jadeja is scoring runs for fun now. India is slowly and surely batting Sri Lanka out of the game as Jadeja's century has in all likelihood, put a final nail in their coffin unless there is an out of the world batting effort from Sri Lanka. IND: (492 for 8 in 118.4 overs) vs SL
Vishwa Fernando gets the wicket of Jayant Yadav. Good low catch taken by Thirimanne at the first slip. Yadav departs for 2. IND: (471 for 8 in 114 overs) vs SL
Ravindra Jadeja reaffirmed his status as the country's premier Test all-rounder with an attractive century while his spin bowling partner Ravichandran Ashwin hit a half-ton, taking India to a comfortable 468 for 7 at lunch against Sri Lanka on the second day of the first Test on Saturday. Jadeja (102 batting off 166 balls) scored his second Test hundred with 10 boundaries, while Ashwin (61 off 82 balls), who has always had a great batting track record in the sub-continent, scored his 12th fifty in the longest format. The hundred would be an immense confidence booster for the Saurashtra man, who had missed four Tests this season due to a knee injury. India is slowly and surely batting Sri Lanka out of the game as the seventh wicket partnership of 130 runs between Jadeja and Ashwin, has in all likelihood, put a final nail in their coffin unless, there is an out of the world batting effort from Sri Lanka. The 111-run off 27 overs during the session came at brisk pace, courtesy India's spin twins.
Another session goes to India. They are comfortably placed at 468 for 7, added 111 runs from their overnight score. India have lost one wicket in form R Ashwin, who scored a brisk 61. Ravindra Jadeja is batting at 102. Jadeja and Ashwin put on a 130-run stand for the seventh wicket. Jayant Yadav, who too, has a Test century is at the crease with Jadeja. What kind of total will India be looking? IND: (468 for 7 in 112 overs) vs SL
A perfect tribute to Shane Warne, who used to call Ravindra Jadeja 'Rockstar.' The southpaw has completed his second Test century, celebrated with his bat swivel. Indeed, a great knock by Jadeja. IND: (467 for 7 in 111 overs) vs SL
The short pitch ply has worked for Suranga Lakmal. Ashwin went for the pull and edges it to the wicketkeeper Dickwella. Ashwin has played well for his 61. The wicket also ended the 130 runs partnership between Jadeja and Ashwin. It is the record seventh stand for India against Sri Lanka. IND: (462 for 7 in 109.4 overs) vs SL
Ravichandran Ashwin c Dickwella b Lakmal 61
R Ashwin gets to his 12th Test fifty. He reached the feat in 67 balls, including six boundaries. Jadeja and Ashwin are piling the misery on hapless Sri Lanka on the second day of the first Test match at the IS Bindra PCA Stadium in Mohali. IND: (446 for 6 in 106 overs) vs SL
A 100-run partnership off just 138 balls between Ravindra Jadeja (86 not out) and R Ashwin (44 not out) for the seventh wicket. This si the first time the duo have put on a century stand in Test cricket. Both of them are inching towards their respective milestones as well. IND: (432 for 6 in 104 overs) vs SL
A streaky boundary but 400 is up for India. Jadeja and Ashwin are looking solid at the crease. Sri Lanka are in dire need of wickets. IND: (400 for 6 in 97 overs) vs SL

A 50-run stand comes up between Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. The duo have rotated the strike well. The second between these two in the Test cricket. IND: (384 for 6 in 93.4 overs) vs SL
Ganguly has systematically undermined institutions, been brazen about conflict of interests, allegedly promised players stuff that he has no right to (the wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha claimed Ganguly promised him he will be in team), and generally acted as if he was a Maharaja accountable to none and not a paid office bearer of Indian cricket.

Ravindra Jadeja has completed his 18th Test half-century with a crisp boundary off Lakmal bowling. India are up and running. IND: (362 for 6 in 86.3 overs) vs SL
Going into the 100th Test, he hasn’t had a three-figure score since November 2019. Surely that has to be somewhere in your mind when you possess 70 international centuries. That, of course, could be the least of his worries right now. (Read More)
