NewzOn Day 2 of a rain-affected Test match in Galle, India and Sri Lanka experienced a dramatic shift during a frantic 90-minute period. Sri Lankan bowlers capitalized on the conditions by dismissing India's overnight batsmen in quick succession, successfully shifting momentum back to the hosts.
Despite the late collapse, India maintained a strong position in the match, bolstered by Devdutt Padikkal's significant innings of 167 runs and a vital lower-order partnership that kept the visiting side in control. The contest is expected to progress with a pitch that is increasingly offering assistance to the bowlers.
