Late on the second day, India picked up four Sri Lankan wickets on a pitch where the ball is turning as well as keeping low. All the four were leg-before decisions. The way the Sri Lankan innings is crumbling gives an indication to an early finish to the first Test at the PCA Stadium here. Had Jasprit Bumrah not no-balled the delivery with which he had castled Pathum Nissanka and another LBW not overturned on DRS review, the visitors would have been in an even deeper mire.
At 108 for four and miles away from saving the follow-on, the Sri Lankans already looked a doomed side. How much resolve and determination they can show to put up a fight, will determine how long the match will last. Will India clean up the Lankan innings without conceding many, and if at all they will enforce the follow-on, will be interesting to see on Day Three.
