In fact, India have enforced the follow-on. I got it wrong the first time.

Sanjay: "Lanka fall short of Jadeja's score by 1 run!!"

Neeraj: "Wow! Jadeja first man in 49 years to score 150 and take a 5-for!"

11.05am India have a lead of 400 and they have enforced the follow-on. Sri Lanka started well today, reached 161 for 4 and almost saw off the first hour. But right at the stroke of drinks, Bumrah bamboozled Asalanka with a slower one. That triggered a collapse in which Sri Lanka lost six wickets in 13 runs. After his unbeaten 175, Jadeja ruled the roost with the ball as well and finished with 5 for 41 - his tenth five-for in Test cricket.

Jadeja to Kumara, OUT, and he cleans him up first ball. Length ball outside off, Kumara looks to defend but ends up playing down the wrong side. Was he playing for turn? Perhaps. Misses it completely and the ball crashes into the off stump. Jadeja will be on a hat-trick in the second innings

CBRLS Kumara b Jadeja 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Lahiru Kumara will bat. By the look of it, he is struggling to even walk. Jadeja eyeing a five-for. Slip and short leg

Jadeja to Fernando, OUT, a soft dismissal. Fuller on middle and leg, Fernando opens up to defend but gets an outside edge. Rohit takes a low catch at second slip
