Kohli hits 5th double century, India extend lead

November 26, 2017 15:16

India 568-4 (168 ovs) vs SL 205 | Scorecard

A single each to the two batsmen off Gamage to raise the 150-run stand for the fifth wicket as India's domination continues.

A couple of more singles takes Kohli to 198 before he picks another run off Gamage to take his score to 199.

He completes his double century, his fifth in Tests, with a single off Perera to reach the landmark off 259 balls.

That will rank as one of the easiest double centuries of Kohli's career, against a mediocre Sri Lankan bowling attack on a flat pitch at Nagpur.

It remains to be seen how long India will continue to bat, having taken their total to a massive 362 runs with 20 overs still left in the day.
