India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test, Day 2 Highlights: At Stumps on the second day, Sri Lanka trail India by 466 runs. Ravindra Jadeja scored his second Test century as India piled more runs on second day and eventually declared on 574/8 against Sri Lanka at Mohali. Jadeja ended up scoring an unbeaten 175 to torment the opposition bowling unit. Ravichandran Ashwin also played the perfect second fiddle to score fifty and show his batting prowess. In response, Sri Lanka lost both the openers in the third and final session Ashwin removed Thirimanne while Jadeja plucked the wicket of Karunaratne. Earlier, Rishabh Pant smashed 96 to help India to 357 for six but the left-handed dasher narrowly missed out on his century after being bowled by fast bowler Suranga Lakmal. Pant put on a key stand of 104 with fellow left-hander Jadeja, who stood unbeaten on 45 at stumps on the opening day. Sri Lanka's bowling attack was led by spinner Lasith Embuldeniya, who tried to test the home team but Pant was at his attacking best in the final session as he dished out an entertaining knock. In response, Sri Lanka openers and Lahiru Thirimanne (17), and Dimuth Karunaratne (28) put on 48 runs for the opening wicket before being dismissed by R Ashwin Jadeja, respectively. Then, Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Angelo Mathews on 22 as SL stuttered past 100 in the 35th over. Ashwin came back to pick his second wicket of the day, removing Dhananjaya de Silva.
