India 292/8 at Stumps on Day 2

STUMPS! The play has been called off for today as it would have taken a lot of time to remove the covers. The match will resume at 9.45 AM tomorrow.

Most Test 100s without a score in the 90s for India 12 - Polly Umrigar 7 - Vijay Hazare/Cheteshwar Pujara #IndvSL

Good news is that the rain has stopped. The sun is out.

It has started raining and players are off the field.

Oh, Mishra is gone now. That's rather an unfortunate way of getting out as he inside edges the ball which carries to the keeper. He is out stumped. The partnership is broken! India 284 for 8.

Mishra is stumped for a well made 59. Herath gets the wicket. India 284/8.

The partnership has crossed 100 runs now. Terrific effort from Amit Mishra to compliment Cheteshwar Pujara.

In the fifth consecutive test, at least one of the two openers have scored a century. #INDvsSL

Amit Mishra is on 54 now. This is the best score for a number 9 batsman at this venue.

FIFTY for Amit Mishra. He has added 88 runs for the 8th wicket with Pujara now. India 268/7. #SLvIND pic.twitter.com/BBGJp1B7GP

Highest 8th wicket partnership for any team on this ground now. 84*.

DROPPED! Pujara pulls and the man at long leg could not hold on to it. It goes for a boundary as well. India 264/7.

Amit Mishra has moved into the 40s. By runs and by looks. #SLvIND

250! The partnership between Pujara-Mishra is worth 71 runs now.

50 partnership between Cheteshwar Pujara and Amit Mishra comes up.

80 overs gone and Sri Lanka have taken the new ball right away.

In his 6th Test (11 innings) Tharindu Kaushal has already bowled 23 no-balls in 238.2 overs, in his short Test career! #IndvSL

India's centurions so far in the series: Dhawan - 134, Kohli - 103, Rahul: 108, Rahane: 126, Pujara: 101*.

What a man. What a hundred. Long live revolution. Long live Che. #SLvIND

Tea has been taken on Day 2.

This is Pujara's first Test hundred since December, 2013.

Mathews has over bowled Herath and under bowled himself. Spin on this pitch is like water on parched lips #SLvIND

Superb test hundred from Cheteshwar Pujara under very challenging conditions, one to savour! #SLvIND

Bravo @cheteshwar1! As good an innings as you've played given the circumstances...

More Test 100s than 50s for India 100s/50s 2/0 - L Rahul 4/2 - S Dhawan 4/3 - V Kambli 7/6 - Cheteshwar Pujara 22/21 - M Azharuddin #IndvSL
— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) August 29, 2015

HUNDRED for Cheteshwar Pujara! 7th in Tests, 2nd overseas. Can the selectors drop him now? #SLvIND pic.twitter.com/GePUVydBdM

200 up for India! How many more will they get?

WICKET! Dhammika Prasad picks his 4th wicket of the innings.

WICKET! Naman Ojha's resilience ends. India 173/6.

150 up for India!

Hat-trick averted. Only one Sri Lankan bowler has taken a hat-trick in Tests. Nuwan Zoysa achieved the feat against Zimbabwe in 1999.

This will be an unusual hat-trick if Prasad gets it: last ball before lunch, 1st ball after lunch and then 1st ball of next over #SLvIND
— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) August 29, 2015

Debutant Naman Ojha walks in.

India has had different opening pairs in last 4 test matches and in all those at least one of the openers scored a century #IndvsSL
— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) August 29, 2015

WICKET! Stuart Binny departs on the very first ball after lunch. Dhammika Prasad is on a hat-trick now. India 119/5.

1.11 - India's run rate v seam in the morning session on day 2 (21 off 113 balls); against spin they scored 48 off 72 (run rate 4)

Rohit Sharma departs just before Lunch. In other news, sky is blue. #SLvIND
— Baatmaan (@VanDiablo) August 29, 2015

Yet again Rohit Sharma falls after doing all the hard work #SLvIND
— Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang) August 29, 2015

Patience is still a virtue and Pujara has that in abundance. #SLvIND
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) August 29, 2015

And it's lunch on Day 2. Lost 2 wickets in the first session and scored 69 runs.

WICKET! Unfortunate for India as Rohit Sharma departs just before lunch. India 119/4.

7th Test fifty for Cheteshwar Pujara. 1st against Sri Lanka.

Kaushal in to the attack and Pujara couldn't be happier! First 3 balls: 444. Over pitched - driven, too short - cut, wide - driven. #SLvIND

Ind scored 50 off 15 overs on day 1; today they scored only 22 off the first 15 overs... result of SL bowling a much better length today
— S Rajesh (@rajeshstats) August 29, 2015

Mathews today dismissed Kohli. It is first time in Tests that an Indian captain lost his wicket to a Sri Lankan captain. #SLvInd
— Mazher Arshad (@cricket_U) August 29, 2015

Pujara scores 3 consecutive fours off Kaushal. India reach 100.

Pujara and Rohit Sharma have provided some kind of stability after losing Virat Kohli early in the session. India 90/3.

A Very Happy National Sports Day to all.

Rohit Sharma comes in at number 5. Huge responsibility on his shoulders as India are struggling at 69/3.
