Sri Lanka bounced back well, taking seven wickets on Day 2. Only one-and-a-half sessions were possible on Day 2 due to rain, but both teams fought hard in whatever time was available.
Devdutt Padikkal pushed on and made 167. He was looking good to get to a double hundred. But, the left-handed batter was undone by left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya, who finished with four wickets.
Off-spinner Keshara Nuwantha looked far more impressive today with three wickets.
While Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja were not able to hang around, Dhruv Jurel played an important knock, making 52, his second Test fifty.
India could have pushed on for more, but it could have been worse. Important contributions from Jurel, Manav Suthar, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav.
A reverse sweep and Kuldeep Yadav collects two crucial runs. With that, India bring up their 450.
We have less than 10 minutes for scheduled close of play. Can Sri Lanka pick the final wicket?
