Another day and another dominating performance by India. First with the bat and later with the ball, the visitors continue to dictate terms in the ongoing second Test at the SSC in Colombo. Resuming the day at 344/3, India pushed the total with fifties from Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha. Later, Ravichandran Ashwin did his magic with the ball as the off-spinner picked two early wickets to reduce the hosts to 50/2 at the end of day’s play. The ball is taking a lot of turn and batting will get difficult as the day progresses.
