India vs Sri Lanka Weather Report: It seemed to be yet another day where the Indian team showcased absolute control. Dhruv Jurel, who was nearing India’s second centurion of the game, was only five runs away from the milestone but had to rush off the field as rain poured in Colombo.
Early tea was taken, and the game had to be stopped. Fans now wonder when the second day of the India vs Sri Lanka second Test will resume in Colombo.
India vs Sri Lanka: When Will Action in Colombo Resume?
The second day of the second Test was stopped at the close of the second session with rain pouring in Colombo. What started as a light drizzle turned quickly into a heavy shower, which resulted in the whole ground being covered. Play could not resume even after the tea break, with the rain gods showing no sign of relentlessness.
However, the latest update from the ground is that the rain has resumed once again after stopping for a while. The covers are back on and the wait for action and possibly Dhruv Jurel’s century continues.
India vs Sri Lanka: Dhruv Jurel Puts Visitors on Top
Dhruv Jurel, with five runs from his milestone, has put the Indian national cricket team on top of Sri Lanka. The right-handed batter had earlier shared a century stand with Rishabh Pant in the first session. Pant got to his fifty after resuming his innings despite being rushed off the field yesterday with a blow to his hand.
After Pant’s wicket on the first ball of the second session, India had 419 runs on the board and could have folded easily. However, Jurel and Manav Suthar put up a defiant 39-run stand for the eighth wicket. Now, with Mohammed Siraj, Jurel has scored 17 runs for the ninth wicket, with the right-arm pacer not scoring a single run off the 17 balls he has faced. Siraj has played a perfect second fiddle to Jurel and would want to continue to do so as the 25-year-old aims for a second Test century.
