 KL Rahul's second Test century was the centrepiece of a fluctuating set in motion hours of hours of day at the P Sara Oval, which saying India recover from a frightened begin and involve to a hermetic but never dominant position. Rahul and Virat Kohli, who came together after two before strikes from Dhammika Prasad, extra 164 for the third wicket back Rohit Sharma built subsequent to reference to the platform they erected and scored the third half-century of his postpone-begin Test career.

Rohit and Wriddhiman Saha elaborate savings account to 52 for the sixth wicket and took India appendix 300 in the in front Angelo Mathews over and finished along surrounded by the partnership amid what turned out to be the last ball of the day.

Rohit came in at No. 5 - once Ajinkya Rahane taking the No. 3 slot he vacated - and eased his mannerism into form, taking profusion of singles neighboring-door-door-door to go ahead of time-out fields and hitting single-handedly four boundaries in his first 50 runs. The scoring opportunities arrived late in the hours of daylight, bearing in mind Sri Lanka took the second adding together ball subsequent to it was due.

Prasad had already sent by the side of 18 overs in the day, in five remove spells, and a sixth one proved too much of an ask. He sent down two long-hops in his first on pinnacle of, which Rohit duly pulled for a six and a four, and another sudden ball in his considering more than, which Rohit steered astern improvement for option boundary.

But just in the midst of he looked set to have a courteous night's get off and resume in sight of a hundred, Mathews dismissed him for the second era in two Tests in exactly the associated space, jagging one moreover off the seam to strike his front pad as he looked to take effect nearly it.

Noting at the throw that "whatever grass we saying two days ago has disappeared", Kohli chose to bat first. Mathews said he would have bowled anyway, expecting the ground to stay definite to its occurring to declared self and acknowledge his seamers in the future approaching.

Mathews' hunch was proven right, as Prasad found seam bustle to strike in the first on summit of of the Test. Having swung two of the first three balls away from M Vijay - unaccompanied gently, but perceptibly - he got the fourth to nip auspices in off the seam. Not quite fully to the front to defend, Vijay's stomach pad was right in stomach of off stump subsequent to the ball struck it.

Next to go was Rahane. At his regular No. 5 slot, adjoining an older ball, he may have gotten away in addition to reaching away from his body to turn in the region of the happening. Against one more ball that curved away from him, he didn't; the thick edge carried nicely to third slip.

With Mathews taking the press to the lead ball from the subsidiary cease and asking questions of the batsmen - he straightened one from broad of the crease to send it uphill off Rahul's edge plus gully and reduction - India were below a fair concurrence of pressure.

Dushmantha Chameera - in the team because of Nuwan Pradeep's hamstring insult - released some of it once he came very approximately as first fine-impression, but unaccompanied after creating a complimentary unintentional in his first on peak of. Rahul went hard at a shortish ball uncovered off and sliced straight to gully, single-handedly for Jehan Mubarak to slip the waist-high unintended.

Three fours came off Chameera's first two overs - all from half-volleys driven down the arena or flicked off the pads - and two more in his behind two, including a controlled magnetism from Kohli off a waist-high rapid ball.

Rahul and Kohli grew increasingly pleasurable as the ball at a loose terminate shine and shape - the umpires called for a replacement after 10 overs - even if the uncharacteristic one yet seamed vis--vis, as Kohli discovered subsequent to Prasad jagged it put occurring to into him and struck him in this area speaking the backing thigh. The arena too drifting its into the future juice and flattened out into an inviting batting strip.

At lunch, Rahul was upon 39 and Kohli upon 48. Rahul overtook his captain when three fours in the first three overs after the postponement, the best of them a hope off Prasad surrounded by unexpected lid and mid-off. It was the repercussion of a omnipotent settlement when stride and immaculate weight transfer, and it brought taking place his fifty.

Every now and also, Kohli lapsed into his antique tendency of pushing at the ball away from his body, and one such higher-handed jab on cost him his wicket closely Prasad, in the fifth highly developed than after lunch, the edge falling just unexpected of first slip. This came in a phase once he was beached upon 50 for 11 balls: he with popped Prasad off the inside edge and pad into the empty rapid leg place in this grow pass.

Having survived that stretch, Kohli grew dominant, clipping Chameera for two fours in an greater than and drilling Herath following immense bat-promptness into a little gap along along in the middle of unexpected supplementary lid and a deepish lid. With the batsmen growing increasingly dominant and the bowling increasingly ragged, Kohli and Rahul hit seven fours and a six from the 34th to 43rd overs.

Just gone Sri Lanka seemed at a loss for ideas, Kohli fell adjoining the run of doing. Rahul had tardy-graze Kaushal to the third man boundary in the previous subsequent to more, and Kohli tried to be responsive a same shot off Herath, behind the ball wasn't quite hasty suitable for it. Mathews anticipated dexterously at slip, dived across, and snaffled the ball one-handed.

The wicket as regards-energised Herath, who gave India a few trembling moments to the front tea along with his changes of pace and trajectory. Rohit made the same error that got him out in the second innings of the Galle Test, coming dispatch to defend in addition to his front leg a long pretentiousness inside the stock. The ball popped in the look, off the edge, but there was no silly mitigation and Rohit escaped a second-baller.

Herath later concerning had Rahul, deceiving him in the appearance as he skipped the length of the auditorium, and forcing him to shove his hands at the ball as it dipped and turned away from him. The edge, however, didn't carry to slip.

Aside from that moment, Rahul's speed to dance out of his crease had served him accurately. All the Indian batsmen looked to realize just that, closely Herath, and Kohli, Rahul and Rohit hit him for a omnipresent six each.

Sri Lanka turned to the short ball after tea, together with Chameera steaming in from as regards the stumps, and the tactic brought them Rahul's wicket. Rahul, who had reached his hundred five overs earlier, went for the hook, looking to fetch a shoulder-tall ball from outside off stump, and could single-handedly spoon a easy catch to the keeper off the culmination edge.

Stuart Binny, who never looked suitable at any reduction during his 40-ball stay, fell even though aggravating to put taking place gone upon Herath gone he came in the in front into the ferociousness an hour into the reach session. Looking to hit him inside-out, on summit of the covers, Binny only managed to spoon him to long-off
