IND vs SL, 1st Test, Day 2, Live Updates: GONE! LBW!
De Silva misses his sweep. Given out, and he is not reviewing it. It is really full, has pitched just outside off, doesn't have the opportunity to turn past the stumps because of the full length. Plumb in front. Big wicket for India.
IND vs SL, 1st Test, Day 2, Live Updates: REPRIEVE FOR NISSANKA!
UNBELIEVABLE! Bumrah thought that he had Nissanka. However, he has overstepped. Nissanka was completely fooled by the slower one, which went on to rattle the middle stump. However, it's a no ball from Bumrah.
IND vs SL, 1st Test, Day 2, Live Updates: FOUR RUNS!
Overpitched. The batter slightly moves away from the ball but he has nailed the drive, right off the middle of the bat. Through cover it goes for a four.
IND vs SL, 1st Test, Day 2, Live Updates: FOUR LB's
Tried to attack the stumps but misses his line. Short of a length, a touch too straight, and he has glanced it using it his angle and his pace. Four runs
Shami bowls it fuller around off, Thirimanne leans into the drive and sends it between the bowler and mid-off. Excellent timing on the shot. No chance for the fielder.
India captain Rohit Sharma has declared mid-over. Jadeja finishes unbeaten on 175. India end up with 574 for 8. Sri Lanka have 15 minutes to bat before tea. Oh hang on, they have taken tea.
Dhananjaya fired it in around off stump, Jadeja cleared his front leg and managed to get under it to launch it over the long-off boundary. 150 up for Jadeja. 50-run partnership but Shami is yet to open his account
Length ball down the leg side. Jadeja goes down on one knee and sweeps it hard and fine. The deep-backward square leg tries to flick it inside but fails. 500 up for India.
That was all about timing. Too full and too straight and Jadeja just presents the full face of the bat. Such was the timing, the long-on fielder didn't even bother trying to cut it off
Pitched in and around the waist length. Jadeja tries to pull this over deep midwicket. Instead, he finds and inside edge and the ball races down the fine-leg boundary for a four.
A dominant session for India so far. Ravindra Jadeja reached his century just after R Ashwin departed. But it's been a brilliant team performance so far. India continue to pile the runs as Sri Lanka struggle.
What an innings this has been from Jadeja. He reaches his second Test ton with a single. Flat, on a length, gives him width, Jadeja opens the face, takes the single. He brings out his trademark sword celebration.
What a shot from Jadeja. Easy pickings. Half-volley with some width, and he push-drives it with an open face between mid-off and cover. Jadeja moves to 97.
India have already scored 58 runs in just 15 overs in the morning session of Day 2, scoring at almost 4 runs per over. The injury to Lahiru Kumara is really hurting Sri Lanka. Their bowling attack appear toothless at the moment.
Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin have taken India past 400. This is looking for and more ominous for Sri Lanka now. Both Ashwin and Jadeja seem to be in no discomfort at all.
Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin's positive fifty-run partnership have given India a fantastic start on Day 2 of the India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test in Mohali. Jadeja reached his fifty early on and since then has looked very solid. Ashwin, at the other end, has been solid as ever. India's healthy scoring rate has continued on Day 2.
