137.6: Asitha Fernando to Prasidh Krishna, FOUR! 500 COMES UP! Into the gap and Krishna gets off the mark! And immediately, Gill calls the batters in and INDIA HAVE DECLARED! Slower full toss, outside the off stump, Prasidh Krishna reaches out and drills it wide of the extra cover fielder for a boundary.

137.5: Asitha Fernando to Prasidh Krishna, The rib-tickler, short and angled down leg. Prasidh Krishna sways out of the firing line.

137.5: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, NO BALL FOR OVERSTEPPING! Back of a length, angled at the hips. Jurel helps it behind to deep fine leg's rigth for a single.

137.4: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, SIX! THWACK! Short by Asitha, on top of middle and leg. Dhruv Jurel picks the length in a trice, stays well-balanced in the crease, and pulls it powerfully behind deep square leg for a huge six.

137.3: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, Proactive running! Full and on the stumps, tailing in a touch. Dhruv Jurel flicks it wide of deep mid-wicket and they hustle back for the second run. The throw from the deep is a bit wayward to the bowling end, far from Asitha, but it is backed up by the fielder at cover.

137.2: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, Nails the yorker just outside off, taking pace off, 113.6 kph. Jurel jams the bat down to squeeze it out, but the ball dips below his bat and rolls back to the keeper. The replay shows that it was actually a knuckle ball from Fernando.

137.1: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, Full at the toes, Jurel clips it through square leg but they do not run.

136.6: Prabath Jayasuriya to Prasidh Krishna, Sliding in on leg, Prasidh leans on and taps it across to square leg.

136.5: Prabath Jayasuriya to Prasidh Krishna, A full ball, floated up outside off, Krishna is beaten on the outside edge as the ball turns away.

136.4: Prabath Jayasuriya to Prasidh Krishna, Full and tossed up on the off stump, Krishna looks to slog it powerfully across the line but, the ball catches the toe end and rolls to mid off.

136.3: Prabath Jayasuriya to Prasidh Krishna, Around off, full, kept out to the off side.

136.2: Prabath Jayasuriya to Prasidh Krishna, Full around off, Prasidh pushes it to mid off.

136.1: Prabath Jayasuriya to Mohammed Siraj, OUT! LBW! Siraj falls in an attempt to break free. Wicket number 2 for Prabath Jayasuriya. He drifts the ball in from around the stumps, landing it in thereabouts of fuller length. Mohammed Siraj moves a bit across to hammer it with a pull shot, but plays all over it as the ball skids through and hits the back pad. The Sri Lankans appeal as one and up goes the finger instantly. But Siraj reviews it straightaway and starts walking off even before the verdict is passed on. UltraEdge shows three reds and he continues his march back to the pavilion. India are 489/9.

135.6: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, SIX! Launched into the stands! A fractionally full ball, on the stumps. Dhruv Jurel clears the front leg and absolutely carts it over long on for a huge six.

135.5: Asitha Fernando to Mohammed Siraj, Full in length, on the stumps, drilled down the ground for a single.

135.4: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, A very tight single! For a moment, his heart must have been in his mouth, and had the throw hit, it would have been extremely close. But that risky single brought up a well-deserved CENTURY FOR DHRUV JUREL. This is his second Test hundred, and he received warm appreciation from his teammates in the dugout. Back to the ball. It is a fullish delivery outside off, Jurel leans into it and punches firmly to the right of mid off. The fielder charges in with three stumps to aim at the bowler’s end but misses as Jurel throws himself into a big dive. A lucky escape for him. The replay shows that the ball actually bounced over the stumps.

135.3: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, Another crisp drive, but for nothing. Fuller in length, on middle and leg, Jurel presents full face of the bat and drives it to mid on but finds the fielder there who is quick to attack the ball.

135.2: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, At 131.2 kph, this is bashed on a length, on top of middle. Dhruv Jurel hops back and nudges it to short mid-wicket on the bounce.

135.1: Asitha Fernando to Dhruv Jurel, Back of a length, jagging in and staying low a touch. Dhruv Jurel negotiates well and knocks it to mid on.
