India vs Sri Lanka Highlights 1st Test: IND reach 460/9 at stumps on day two after Padikkal's 167 and Jurel's 51

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: Manav Suthar now goes. Holes out to long-on off the bowling of Prabath Jayasuriya. His fourth wicket. Suthar goes for 24 off 43 balls. The shot was unnecessary. India nine down

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: 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: A glance down leg for two off Keshara Nuwantha and Dhruv Jurel reaches his second Test fifty. What an innings under pressure.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Dhruv Jurel and Manav Suthar have added 47 runs so far. And Jurel, after picking up a boundary off the last ball of the Kumara over, is now just two short of a fifty. India 424/6 in 108 overs

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 1st Test: Pace brought back and Kumara concedes 15 runs, including three fours. India 406/6. All of a sudden they are looking good again. Jurel 40 and Suthar 10 at the crease.

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.

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: The ball hits Jadeja on the pad and a loud appeal ensues. The umpire gives out after which the Indian batter goes for a review. And all he gets is disappointment from that. Third wicket for Keshara Nuwantha. India 377/6. Manav Suthar joins Dhruv Jurel.

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.

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: Sri Lanka's best spinner Prabath Jayasuriya works his magic. What a ball! Devdutt Padikkal steps out of the crease and misses the ball that spins just a little and the wicketkeeper removes the bails in a flash. The Indian batter goes for 167. Huge, huge blow to India. India 357/

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.

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.

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: Bright sunshine, covers are off. Dark cloujds back again. Covers are on. Hasn't that been precisely the story today? Well, start is still delayed.
