Indian bowlers have made the most of their day after posting an above-average total with the help of Shreyas Iyer’s 92. The pitch has bothered either team but Indian bowling meant business from the ball 1. Jasprit Bumrah provided the team a winning start by scalping 2 wickets in 2 overs. Mohammad Shami added cherry on the cake by scalping the wickets of Dimuth Karunaratne and Dhananjaya De Silva. Axar Patel sent Asalanka to the pavilion at 5. The bowlers surely restricted Sri Lanka but Angelo Mathews has shown class and intent in his batting against the roaring Indian side which kept vacating the non-striker’s end. Mathew scored 31 off 62 deliveries. While approaching the stumps, Bumrah was thrown second last over where he sent Angelo Mathews to the dressing room for 43 runs. Jasprit Bumrah looked phenomenal with the pink ball and lethal to unsettle the batsman from the word go. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, the duo couldn’t get a wicket but definitely looked impactful while bowling tight lines and obtaining bounce and turn. Sri Lanka, presently, trails by 166 runs at the loss of 6 wickets. Embuldeniya and Dickwella are on the crease, only hoping to save the day for the side tomorrow while India will look to fancy their chances of wrapping up the Sri Lankan lower middle order early tomorrow on Day 2.
