15:38 (IST)
After 33 overs,Sri Lanka 121/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 45 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 6)
Huge appeal for a catch against Dickwella. He's given OUT but Dickwella wastes no time in reviewing this. UltraEdge confirms it clupped the starp of his pad en route to the keeper. There's no bat involved. They check for LBW as well, but it's going down leg.

After 32 overs,Sri Lanka 119/4 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 44 , Niroshan Dickwella (W) 6)

15:15 (IST)
After 27 overs,Sri Lanka 104/3 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 39 , Dhananjaya de Silva 4)

14:58 (IST)
After 21 overs,Sri Lanka 100/3 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 37 , Dhananjaya de Silva 2)
Jadeja returns and removes the experienced Angelo Mathews. Mathews was playing for the turn but left a big gap between bat and pad, and the ball hits the top of leg-stump. Dhananjaya de Silva is the new batter. 100 up for SL though.
14:55 (IST)
OUT! Cleaned up and the experienced Angelo Mathews has to depart. Jadeja with the big wicket as SL suffer a double blow today. Mathews b Jadeja

After 19 overs,Sri Lanka 92/1 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 36 , Kusal Mendis 50)
Jadeja continues. Kusal Mendis starts the over with a boundary. There's a slight delay in play as Mayank is hit on his knee. He had his shin pads on but the ball hit him hard on the knee. Mayank is fine though, and is taken off the silly point region. Kusal Mendis scores his fifty later in the over. Six runs off the over.
14:45 (IST)
FIFTY! Half-century up for Kusal Mendis, and he gets to the milestone in 57 balls.
14:40 (IST)

After 10 overs,Sri Lanka 47/1 ( Dimuth Karunaratne (C) 19 , Kusal Mendis 22)

India vs Sri Lanka: Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant – Lankans rocked by Team India's dual phenomenon
As Indian cricket embarks on yet another major transition, the dual phenomenon of Jaspirt Bumrah and Rishabh Pant assures us of a future legacy, writes Chetan Narula. Here's the full article.
13:05 (IST)
Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Day 3 action from second India vs Sri Lanka Test. The visitors need 419 runs more to win and have nine wickets in hand. It's going to be an uphill battle for Lankans who are against Indian bowlers who are at the top of their game.
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 2nd Test at Bengaluru: The visitors need 419 runs more to win and have nine wickets in hand. It's going to be an uphill battle for Lankans who are against Indian bowlers who are at the top of their game.
Day 2 report: Half-centuries from Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant combined with inspired bowling on Sunday's day two helped India eye a big win in the pink ball Test against Sri Lanka.
The tourists were 28 for one at stumps while chasing a daunting 447 for victory in Bangalore. Kusal Mendis on 16 and skipper Dimuth Karunaratne on 10 were batting at close of play.
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah trapped Lahiru Thirimanne lbw for nought to take his wickets tally to six in the match before three fans ran on the pitch to get a selfie with Virat Kohli.
India declared their second innings on 303-9 in the final session after Iyer made 67 and Pant smashed a 28-ball 50 -- a Test record for an Indian batsman.
Bumrah backed the gameplan of the left-handed Pant who is often criticised for throwing away his wicket after a start.
"Every individual has a different gameplan, so he has backed his strengths," Bumrah, the team's vice-captain, said of the swashbuckling batsman.
"Not every player in the team will play with the same tempo, we understand that. He is still getting more and more experience and learning about this game."
Iyer, who hit 92 in India's first innings total of 252, raised his third Test fifty in his fourth match with a cracking boundary.
He put on key partnerships including a 45-run stand with Pant and 63 with Ravindra Jadeja, who made 22, before falling lbw to Lasith Embuldeniya.
Mohammed Shami hit an unbeaten 16 before skipper Rohit Sharma called him back to the pavilion after the fall of Axar Patel.
Kohli's ton drought
India lost Rohit for 46 and Kohli for 13 but Pant extended India's domination in his knock studded with seven fours and two sixes.
Rohit, who used his sweep and reverse sweep to good effect against the spinners, missed out on his fifty after being caught at long on while attempting a big hit off Dhananjaya de Silva.
He walked back as a huge roar erupted from a crowd welcoming Kohli, a former captain and star player for the local Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL team.
But Kohli -- who has not scored an international century since India's first ever day-night Test in November 2019, and made 23 in the first innings -- did not last long as he fell lbw to Praveen Jayawickrama.
The star batsman's Test average has fallen below 50 for the first time since 2017 and he has gone without a century for 73 international innings.
In the morning, Sri Lanka, who were already struggling after resuming at 86-6, were dismissed for 109 inside half an hour during the first session to concede a lead of 143.
Bumrah added two more to his first day's tally of three wickets to bag his eighth five-wicket haul in 29 Tests and first on home soil.
He defended the seemingly bowler-friendly pitch.
"Nobody is complaining about the wicket," Bumrah told reporters.
"Yes, everybody is finding a way and looking forward to contribute because they know if they score good runs on a tough wicket then that will give them a lot of confidence when they play on a relatively flat wicket."
India lead the two-match series 1-0.
