India 415-3 (96 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Sri Lanka's best bowler on Day 1, Nuwan Pradeep to bowl from the other end. Rahane is happy to watch the first three balls outside the off-stump go through before he throws his bat at one but is beaten. He seems to have learnt from that minor blip as he cautiously blocks the last two balls.

Herath comes in from the other end, replacing Perera, who is taken off after just one over on Day 2.

The first ball grips and turns as Pujara plays from the crease and is beaten. Sri Lanka decide to go for the DRS after their appeal for caught behind is turned down. The ball has missed the edge by a long way and the on-field umpire's decision stays.

Pujara doing well to carefully defend the rest of the over as Herath makes a good start on Day 2.

Pradeep bowls a sharp bouncer to Rahane, who decides against going for the pull. The next ball as expected is full and Rahane plays a cracking cover drive off the front foot for the first boundary of the day before he keeps strike with one from the last ball.

A quick over from Herath as Rahane and Pujara pick a single each.

Meanwhile, Pujara completes his 150 as he flicks Pradeep fine on the leg side for a four to complete the landmark from 257 balls, having hit 13 boundaries.
