Jadeja, Ashwin rock Sri Lanka after tea
After the first Test ended in a nerve-racking draw at the Eden Gardens, the two teams will target nothing less than a win to go 1-0 up in the three-match series.
3:45 p.m. Sri Lanka’s 200 has come up, with some precious runs being added by tailender Suranga Lakmal (17*) and Rangana Herath (4*). 205/8
3:22 p.m. Ashwin gets his third as well, with the help of DRS! Chandimal (57) adjudged LBW sweeping. Sri Lanka falling apart, now 184/8.
3:16 p.m. Jadeja into the act again and dismisses Dilruwan Perera (15) LBW, who was earlier saved by DRS but this time found plumb in front. SL 184/7. Jaddu’s figures now read 18-4-43-3.
2:55 p.m. Sri Lanka lose sixth wicket! Shanaka (2) has been bowled by Ashwin. This innings might fold up today itself with still 25 overs left in the day. SL 165/6, Chandimal batting on 53.
2:42 p.m. Dickwell (24) departs! Couldn’t rein-in his aggression and danced down to Jadeja who pulled the length of his delivery back, resulting in a skier that was safely pouched by Ishant. SL 160/5 in 61 overs.
2:15 p.m. TEA TIME in the second India-Sri Lanka Test, and the Lankans are 151/4 (Chandimal 47*, Dickwella 18*). Ishant the most successful Indian bowler with figures of 2/33 and a wicket each for spin twins Ashwin and Jadeja.
2 p.m. Chandimal has looked the most confident of Sri Lankan batsmen, more than Karunaratne. He and Dickwell would want to head into tea, which is 10 minutes away, unseparated. SL 132/4 in 55 overs.
