India 610-6 (176.1 ovs) vs SL 205 | Scorecard

Rohit looks in no hurry as he gently drives Shanaka on the off-side for a single. Saha drops the ball at his feet and Rohit calls him for a quick run.

Rohit chips down the track and drives it to sweeper cover for a single to raise India's 600, the 30th time they have gone past that score.

In the next over, Rohit comes down the track and lofts him back over his head for a four. He gets an inside edge off the next ball to take his score to 98, which brings up the double hundred for the bowler Perera.

And that also takes India's lead past the 400-run mark.

Rohit takes a single from the first ball of the next over to bring up his century from 160 balls, the first time has scored a hundred after a long wait of four years.

The Mumbai batsman drives Shanaka through the off-side for three runs to bring up the landmark before Captain Kohli declares the innings.

India declare on a mammoth 610 for six in their first innings to take a huge lead of 405 runs.

Rohit finishes unbeaten on 102, the fourth centurion of the Indian innings after Kohli, who made 213, while Vijay and Pujara also got centuries.
