Sri Lanka playing XI: Dimuth Karunaratne(Captain), Lahiru Thirimanne, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Niroshan Dickwella, Suranga Lakmal, Vishwa Fernando, Lasith Embuldeniya, Praveen Jayawickrama
13:31 (IST)

Toss update: Rohit Sharma wins the coin toss and says India will bat first in the pink-ball Test.. Teams news from India is that Axar Patel returns to the playing XI, replacing Jayant Yadav. Sri Lanka make two changes. Nissanka and Kumara are out for SL, while Kusal Mendis and Praveen Jayawickrama come in. 

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 2nd Test at Bengaluru: Jayawickrama continues. Seven runs come off the over, with a four from the over. And that will be tea break on Day 1. India have lost crucial wickets and Pant and Shreyas will need to revive their innings post the break. Virat Kohli's wicket was a big one, while Vihari looked set but he too was dismissed. India are 93/4 at tea break on Day 1.

Preview: Chasing an elusive international hundred for 28 months now, Virat Kohli would hope for a turnaround at his 'spiritual home' when India take on an under-prepared and injury-hit Sri Lanka in the second Test, with the action unfolding under flood lights, from Saturday.

Interestingly, the last time Kohli reached a three-figure mark, it was a 'Pink Ball' game in which India thrashed Bangladesh by an innings and 46 runs in Kolkata, back in November 2019. He had scored 136 back then.

The former India skipper has taken strike in 28 innings since then but a Test hundred has remained elusive. The 33-year-old has got a 50-plus score only six times with highest being a knock of 79 against South Africa in Cape Town in January this year.

Now he is returning to the M Chinnaswamy stadium, a venue which he knows like the back of his palm as he has led his IPL side Royal Challengers Bangalore here (RCB) for a decade. That comforting familiarity with the conditions may also help.

Since it is a pink ball contest, either a fit-again spin all-rounder Axar Patel or pacer Mohammed Siraj could replace Jayant Yadav in the playing XI because both have the ability to cause more damage in a Day/Night game.

Jayant did not do anything special in Mohali. Even when the Sri Lankans were struggling, he went wicket-less in his 17 overs across the two innings.

Axar, in his last Pink ball Test, had wreaked havoc with his under cutters in Ahmedabad against England, taking 11 wickets in that contest.

He even opened the attack in the second England innings.

However, if grass is left on the pitch then Siraj would be a better option for skipper Rohit Sharma.

Any more change to the playing XI is unlikely even though it will be interesting to see if Hanuma Vihari is given another chance to bat at number three. Rohit had said that it is not certain that the slot would remain with Vihari.

As India start off a new journey under Rohit Sharma in the Sri Lanka series, the microscopic focus will be on the middle order. In the absence of Pujara and Rahane, the onus will fall on the relatively less experienced guys to step up and stake a claim.

Highlights, India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test at Mohali, Full cricket score: Pant, Vihari shine as hosts put up 357/6 on Day 1

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test LIVE Score and Updates: India put up 357/6 on the back of knocks from Rishabh Pant (96(, Hanuma Vihari (58) and Virat Kohli (45). Pant came agonisingly close to a hundred, but was not meant to be. India will be still happy with the total, and when Jadeja and Ashwin walk out to bat on Day 2, 400 will be on their minds. Lasith Embuldeniya is SL's top wicket-taker so far, with two scalps.
