Arjun: "Why wasn't there an option for follow-on?" --- You need a lead of 200 or more to enforce the follow-on in a five-day match.

Gp: "I love Pant, after Sehwag and Kohli he is the third guy who pulls me front of TV to watch every action of him."

Darshan: "Pant's prediction came to fruition. He wanted Ashwin to bowl the carrom ball slow and slightly shorter. Got their man!"

Sean Daniel: "I guess SL batters were caught in two minds whether to attack the bowling or play defensive. Well they've failed to do either."

Reju: "Will this test get over in 2 days?" --- Might stretch to the third morning.

Prashant Vats: "Bunrah taking 5er in a spin friendly wicket! What a bowler!"

2.29pm It took India only 5.5 overs this morning to take the remaining four Sri Lankan wickets. On a pitch where one would expect spinners to dominate, Bumrah picked up 5 for 24 from just ten overs. Shami picked up two yesterday, while Ashwin chipped in with two of his today. India have a lead of 143 and will be out soon for their second innings. Sri Lanka's 109 all out is their second-lowest total against India, behind their 82 in Chandigarh in 1990.

Ashwin to Fernando, OUT, another carrom ball. This time shorter around off. Fernando lunges forward and pushes at it. He is playing for an offbreak but the ball spins like a legbreak to beat him by quiet some distance. Pant was quick to dislodge the bails. The third umpire finds the foot was in the air
