India vs Sri Lanka Highlights 1st Test: So day two comes to a close. India finish on 460/9. India would have hoped for a better day but they will still take it. The pitch was awful today. It was a rain-hit day, one will do well to remember. The most important innings of the day came from Dhruv Jurel who scored a nice 51 under pressure. His 50-run stand with Manav Suthar was crucial to India. Devdutt Padikkal went on to score 167. He was unbeaten on 131 overnight. KL Rahul (82) and Rishabh Pant (39) had a disappointing day. Pant could only add 12 to his overnight score. Rahul returned from cramps but he could only add five. Prabath Jayasuriya and Keshara Nuwantha shared seven wickets between them....Read More

  India vs Sri Lanka Highlights 1st Test: It's stumps

  India vs Sri Lanka Highlights 1st Test: India 460/9. So as expected the pitch has started acting up. Though experts were not expecting it to behave that way on day two. Overall India would be happy with their effort. If Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul had not disappointed with their batting, things could have been much better for the Indians. Anyway, a gripping rain-hit day comes to an end. Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna will resume day three tomorrow. Let's catch up again tomorrow morning.

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Siraj annoying Sri Lankans

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: With his batting, of course. He is looking to go big and has got a six already. Siraj was sent ahead of Kuldeep Yadav, considered a better batter, but so far the pacer has done very well with the bat. India 447/7.

  Just as we praised Siraj, Asitha removes Siraj. The batter moves away to hit and his weak shot is taken at cover by a diving fielder. Eight wickets down. The score is the same as before.

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Jurel out

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: His innings comes to a close. 51 off 68 balls. Came at a fair clip on a tricky pitch. Fantastic catch by captain de Silva in the slips. He dove to his right and took a nice one-handed catch. He had earlier dropped Jurel when the Indian batter was on 29. Third wicket for Prabath Jayasuriya. It was a leading edge that went to the slip.

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Catch dropped!

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Dhruv Jurel gets the reprieve. Thick outside edge off Prabath Jayasuriya but the slip fielder couldn't react in time. To be honest, it was a bit too fast for him. Jurel was 29 at the time. Sri Lanka would hope it doesn't prove to be costly.

• 16 Aug 2026, 04:47:06 PM IST

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Jurel comes up with a six

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Over midwicket off the bowling off Keshara Nuwantha. India really needed that to release the pressure. India 388/6. They should have done better than this but if they can get even 450, that will be a good total on this wicket now. It's been tricky all day today.

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: India need a good stand!

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Play resumes after tea. India resume from 364/5. The visitors really need a decent stand here. At least a 50-run partnership. Three wickets in the previous session really dented India's aspirations of a big score. Hopefully, Ravindra Jadeja and Dhruv Jurel will come to the party.

• 16 Aug 2026, 04:02:54 PM IST

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: India 364/5 at tea

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja are at the crease on 19 and 4 respectively. India wouldn't be happy with this session. They lost three big wickets, those of Rishabh Pant (39), KL Rahul (82) and Devdutt Padikkal (167). India didn't want any of this on day two but now it has happened. They really have squandered their day-one advantage.

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Padikkal removed

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Sri Lanka's best spinner Prabath Jayasuriya works his magic. What a ball!

India 357/

• 16 Aug 2026, 03:44:15 PM IST

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Devdutt Padikkal going strong

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Despite quick wickets of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, India are not looking that bad, all thanks to Devdutt Padikkal. His appetite for runs is getting stronger. He is unbeaten on 164 at present. He looks good to get a double ton, if truth be told. India 346/4. Dhurv Jurel is keeping him company on 8. But India will have to ensure this partnership goes on for a longer period.

• 16 Aug 2026, 03:19:55 PM IST

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: KL departs too

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Keshara Nuwantha on fire. Now he gets rid of KL Rahul. Nishan Madhushka takes a nice catch at short leg. Rahul goes for 82. Huge blow to India. India 319/4. Dhruv Jurel is in next. India wouldn't have wanted this! To get a big total, they reall needed these two players to score big today.

• 16 Aug 2026, 03:14:51 PM IST

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Rishabh Pant goes

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: He must be disappointed. He needed a big score to get his confidence back. He falls for 39 off the bowling of Keshara Nuwantha. His maiden Test wicket. India 307/3. KL Rahul is back. That's good news for Team India.

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Padikkal, on unbeaten 131, opens up on his special triple-figure score, his maiden international ton: “Patience for me, I think it was more to do with what I have gone through before this game. I think my last Test was in 2024, so it's been a long time coming, and I've had to patiently wait, look on from the outside. It's never easy, but at the same time it gave me time to really work on my game, to perfect things in my game that I felt needed perfecting. And I'm really glad that all that hard work came to effect today. Was a bit nervous towards the end when I got closer to it, but I think that's part of it, and really happy to get over the line.”

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: India's vice-captain was forced to retire after suffering from cramps. But Kotak said Rahul will be good to bat on Day 2.

  "KL batted really well. I think he was getting only cramps. So by the end of the day, he was fine. Probably once you start getting cramps, you get it in the hamstring, you get it in the groin, you get it in your hand. But at the moment he looks absolutely fine. So he should be good to go tomorrow," he said.

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Kotak suggested that the team is unlikely to be rigid about the batting positions.

  “I think Devdutt batted really well. So Sai also has been batting really well at that number. But the thing is they all are new-ball batsmen. So they open, they go number three, so we are very flexible. I would look at the way they bat, how they are adapting to conditions, how they are dealing with the different stages of a match, and that is very important for me rather than number three or four or five.”

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Padikkal vs Sudharsan for No. 3?

  India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Padikkal's century triggered a debate in social media on whether he should retain the No. 3 role when Sudarshan returns. Sanjay Manjrekar has, in fact, backed the Karnataka batter for the role.

  However, the debate largely stemmed from the fact that Sudarshan, who has been in the role since the tour of England in 2025, managed just 383 runs in 12 innings as the No. 3 batter with just three fifties.

  "Preparation, I would say, overall the way Devdutt, was preparing and I saw it in the NCA (BCCI CoE)…he was working on his back foot game. We try that when we expect a turn from a pitch," he said. "We also tried to work on step-out, sweep besides the back foot game. So, a lot of credit goes to him, the way he has prepared himself for the last couple of years."
