India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 2nd Test Day 4: India eye win against Sri Lanka. (Source: Reuters)
India are still 230 runs ahead and if they can bowl out Sri Lanka before the hosts those many runs, India can claim a win by an innings. After bowling out Sri Lanka for 183 in the first innings and taking a 439 runs, India asked Sri Lanka to follow-on but a 191-run second wicket stand between Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis built a stunning comeback on a pitch that looked like spitting venom. Mendis scored a century before being dismissed five overs before stumps on Day 3. But, Karunaratne remained unbeaten on 92 to see his team go to stumps at 209 for 2 and only 230 runs.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score 4th Test Day 2: Live Cricket Score IND vs SL 4th Test Day 2:
12:01 pm: Lunch on Day 4! Whole lot of tricks in that over from Ashwin but no wickets. Mathews got a few edges. He survives and Sri Lanka go to Lunch at 302 for 4 and 137 runs behind. Five more sessions to go!
11:55 am: No success yet. Umesh Yadav finishes his over. Five minutes away from Lunch and Jadeja continues. Sri Lanka are 299 for the loss of four wickets.
11:48 am: So Jadeja back! Virat Kohli brought on the pacers but now the batsmen have to re-adjust to the spinners. Lunch is round the corner.
11:42 am: A 50-run stand between Karunaratne and Mathews. Sri Lanka’s resistance has been going good so far. They are 292 for 4 and India’s lead is below 150 now
* WICKET! One brings two and Dinesh Chandimal is gone! Jadeja is relieved that he has a wicket. Beautiful delivery to draw Chandimal forward. He pushes at it. Hard hands from the new batsman and it takes the edge to the slips.
* WICKET! First wicket of the day for India! But what was Pushpakumar doing there? Changes his stance to a left-hander as he tries to play a switch-hit but ends up playing an on-drive. The process has taken too much time. Ashwin’s delivery has gone through and bowled him
