Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second day of the third Test between India and Sri Lanka at Delhi. (Scorecard)
Virat Kohli is approaching yet another double hundred as India look to pile agony on Sri Lanka on the second day.
At close of play, Kohli was unbeaten on 156 and Rohit Sharma was 6 not out. Vijay scored 155 runs for his 11th Test century.
Kohli became the first Indian batsman to score three hundreds in a Test series since Rahul Dravid managed this feat against England in 2002.
Kohli extended his partnership with Vijay in the final session as the duo continued to plunder runs in New Delhi. They brought up the 200-stand off 272 balls while India crossed 300 in the 72nd over.
Vijay reached his 150 off 251 balls, but was stumped off Lakshan Sandakan (2-110) toward the end of the day's play. This was his second-highest score in test cricket after 167 versus Australia in 2013. Overall, he faced 267 balls and hit 13 fours. Vijay and Kohli took India from 78-2 to 361-3.
Sri Lanka will be hoping Sandakan gets similar purchase on Day 2 and picks up a few more wickets. The tourists would hope to build up on this and start on similar lines today. They have their task cut out due to the presence of the Indian skipper at the crease. Will they trigger a collapse and restrict India under 450?
