Mohammed Siraj picked up Nishan Fernando. Sri Lanka are one down. Earlier, India are bundled out for 462 runs in the first innings. The visitors managed to secure a dominant position in the first of the two-match Test series in Galle on Sunday with their batting.
On the back of a century from Devdutt Padikkal, they finished Day 2 at 460/9, with Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna unbeaten, after a day cut short by rain.
KL Rahul, who scored a gritty half-century on Day 1, returned to bat but could not add many runs to his score. Dhruv Jurel was the other important contributor, scoring a breezy half-century when the team needed it. Apart from these two, there were a few starts from the other players but not convert into big scores.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, after disappointing bowling on the first day, came back well. The likes of Prabath Jayasuriya and Nuwantha Keshara altered their bowling plans, which worked out. The second new ball was when the Sri Lankan spinners started to dominate the game.
