This match is heading to Day 3, even if we are uncertain if it will go beyond that. Anyway, India will look to wrap things up on Monday. Remember, the hosts need nine more wickets to win while the Lankans still require 419 runs. We’ll be back with all the LIVE action from Bengaluru tomorrow. Until then, it’s goodbye and good night!
After 7 overs,Sri Lanka 28/1 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 10 , Kusal Mendis 16)
Right, Rohit goes for spin as Ashwin is introduced to wrap up proceedings on Day 2. There’s a huge shout for LBW against Mendis but the umpire says a firm NO. India also refuse to review this. Mendis with another boundary in the over, that’s gone past deep square leg. So, that will be stumps on Day 2. Sri Lanka post 28/1, having lost the wicket of Thirimanne early on. They need another 419 runs to win, but the larger focus on Monday will be on Indian bowlers, who will look to wrap this match (and series) up on Day 3.

Bumrah continues. Three runs from it with Karunaratne collecting a brace. Shami continues with the next over. Mendis takes his gloves off as the physio is out in the middle. Some magic spray is being applied as Mendis receives a small treatment. Just a few moments later, Mendis with a well-controlled boundary, finding the fine-leg fence.
After 4 overs,Sri Lanka 16/1 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 8 , Kusal Mendis 6)

After 1 overs,Sri Lanka 1/1 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 0 , Kusal Mendis 0)
Bumrah with the ball first up for India. Huge shout for LBW and he is given out. Thirimanne reviews this one but to no avail. Ball-tracking shows all reds. The ball is hitting the pad and not the bat as Thirimanne would have anticipated. Dream start for Bumrah. One run and a wicket after one over.
OUT! Early blow for SL as they lose Thirimanne. He’s struck LBW off Bumrah, but the Lankan reviews this. Replays show it’s pad first, and ball-tracking shows all reds.
Time for the chase as Rohit Sharma and Co make their walk into the middle. Lahiru Thirimanne and Dimuth Karunaratne to open for the visitors. SL will hope for a session where they don’t lose a wicket, with just 11 more overs scheduled for tonight. Bumrah with the ball for India.
After 68.5 overs,India 303/9 ( Mohammed Shami 16 , )
Axar Patel is the last to depart as Embuldeniya claims his third wicket. Ninth wicket down, but the biggest news is that India have declared at 303/9. Sri Lanka’s target will be 447 when they come out to bat in a short while.
