Jasprit Bumrah came into the day-night Test against Sri Lanka with only six of his 115 previous wickets having come on home soil. In a matter of two evenings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the strapping quick with the unique action doubled that number to put India within touching distance of a thumping victory.

447 needed to win

Having been set 447 for the most unlikely of victories, Sri Lanka stuttered to 28-1 at stumps the second day of the second Test, their hopes hanging by no more than the slenderest of threads.
