09:34 IST: Pujara's composure has ensured Sri Lanka cannot win and will be a delight for the Indian spinners to bowl on a third and fourth day pitch. 

09:33 IST: Cheteshwar Pujara has been solid as ever, and very close to 150. He is not-out on 144.

09:32 IST: Shikhar Dhawan stole all the limelight yesterday after making a spectacular comeback in the Test side. He was so close to making his double ton by played a rash shot and fell just 10 runs short. 

09:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog

Dhawan, drafted into the Indian squad at the last moment, said it was a blow to get out so close to a maiden double hundred. Dhawan was out in the last over before tea when he handed a simple catch off paceman Nuwan Pradeep to Angelo Mathews at mid-off. Kohli was dismissed for three when he tried to pull a chest-high delivery from Pradeep, who took three for 64, but nicked behind instead to Niroshan Dickwella. Pradeep's appeal was initially turned down but the decision was overturned by the TV umpire when replays showed the ball had grazed Kohli's bat.

Dhawan got a standing ovation from teammates in the dressing room upon completing his fifth Test century. The innings was especially sweet for Dhawan, who was made to sit out of India's last 11 Tests following a dip in form. Dhawan's last Test century was at the same venue, during India's 2015 tour of the island nation. India lost the Galle match but went on to win the remaining two games to pocket the series 2-1.
