IND vs SL 2nd Test Day 3 Live Updates: 100 for Karunaratne
A there he is. Hundred up for the Sri Lankan captain. What a knock from Karunaratne. He has fought a lone battle after Kusal Mendis' departure in the first session. He will remember this knock for a long time. Well played!
Dickwella misses this completely. Axar changes nothing, but he swings across the line of this length ball. It goes straight on to beat him. Pant was quick to flash off the bails.
IND vs SL 2nd Test Day 3 Live Updates: TEA CALLED!
Tea has been called on Day 3 after an entertaining first session which saw Sri Lanka losing heads after Karunaratne and Mendis had given them a bright start. Mendis' resistance was broken by Ravi Ashwin but the Sri Lanka skipper continues to hold his guard. Sri Lanka still have a mountain to clash.
Down the leg side again, with some bounce to go with the turn. No touch on the bat, or pad, and these runs will go against Pant as it feathers away to the fine leg boundary.
Pitched fuller in the middle. Karunaratne just guides this through the midwicket region, with a little flourish of the wrists. Good shot. Excellent timing.
Ashwin stays round the wicket and flights this well above his eyeline. Classic bat-pad dismissal. De Silva had no answer to that. Excellent catch from Vihari diving down to his left.
WHAT A DRIVE! Uppish drive but he has hit this wide of short cover. Goes all the way for four. India still looking for their first maiden. Mendis moves to 49.
Mendis and Karunaratne have shown a positive approach so far. They've decided not to sit. Another good shot from Mendis which almost finds the boundary. But he'll have to settle for just three.
Edged and just falls short of second slip. Mendis was bamboozled. He played that with soft hands and survived. India are knocking on the door. How long can Sri Lanka resist?
Beaten on the outside edge. Plays for the turn, this goes straight on, and also scoots along the ground. Difficult for Pant to stop that from racing towards the boundary. 4 byes
FOUR RUNS! This time it's Mendis who gets a bit lucky. Slides down the leg side with a some turn and bounce. The batter did well to play that shot with soft hands.
